I'm guilty of wasting way too much of my lifeforce in Marvel Puzzle Quest.
The match 3 + very light rpg mechanics grab me just right,
The gatcha is quite punishing in that you need 10-13! copies of any card that isn't top tier to make them not totally suck.
They are truly insidious in that they give you rewards that expire unless you pay to expand your collection space. And I'm ashamed to admit I did pay probably too much and it did make the game much more enjoyable.
What is the most brutal is everything is based on a timed event system. The meaningful/collection building rewards are all competitive so you have to grind against the bots and no-lifers but normal humans won't get past mid-tier which was good enough for me.
Like drugs, it felt good at the time but looking back I seriously regret my use.
Unlike drugs I'm never more than a couple of clicks away from re-installing because I'm tied to the phone and computer for my job.
