I feel like developing a gambling addiction

There are no good gacha games.

I play Genshin Impact and it’s a lot of bang for your non-buck in terms of content. You can enjoy the full experience without spending so much as a penny and not even get FOMO. There are multiple events where you can unlock gatcha-only characters for free, in fact I think there’s one on right now. Otherwise if you’re into rhythm games I play Bang Dream and Idolmaster Starlight Stage. Bang Dream has an English version and it’s cutesy and inoffensive. Im@s is japanese only but doesn’t require knowledge for the core game loop.

The game slows down a bit at around 25 if you are an every day type of player. You will definitely feel the lack of resin soon enough. Other than that, you aren’t competing with anyone so enjoy your team but have a gameplan at the same time and don’t spread yourself thin.

Yeah sure, how far along the main quest are you? Have you explored the map in full? For the most part the fun is finding chests and secrets and stuff. After that it’s just a case of doing weekly events and waiting for content updates.

Otherwise it’s a case of doing the domains and bosses to get crafting materials to upgrade your characters and equipment. Honestly if you’re not interested in the raw DPS checks that are these elements of the domains etc, don’t even bother. Just wait for the devs to release new events and play those. Check in every so often for updates and play the new quests. If you want the full experince then you just need to focus on your characters, their best weapons and their best elemental interactions. And this will take a lot of materials acquisition.

Damn, that’s actually nuts. I’m playing on PC so I can’t comment but that is maddening to think about. No chance of forcing it or finding a workaround?

Been playing genshin impact. Been a lot of fun but also work. Daily missions will give you 60 primogems. You need 160 to make a wish. You are guaranteed something at 10 wishes. High ranked characters you get every 50 wishes.

You also get primogems by opening chests in the over world occasionally.

You also have resin you use to get rewards like gear for characters at end of dungeons’ and bosses. The resin regenerates 1 point every 8 minutes so going from 0 to 160 takes 16hrs. You play your daily missions, spend your resin gathering good equipment, farm for some stuff and then log out.

Been playing for a while with nephew and we have yet to spend anything. I’m mostly playing for the hot characters tbh and if you look at the characters you’ll be bound to find some to your liking.

I can write more if want but feel like this long enough.

Fire Emblem Heroes is fun. The only downside is that you’ll very quickly get bored of the watered down version of Fire Emblem that’s in that game and abandon it to play the real thing.

I’ve also played Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, but it’s not worth the hassle of making a hong kong steam account to play. They started from a complete console game and stripped out 95% of the content in order to gachaify it, and the resulting product is pretty anemic, though the graphics are great. aaaaaaand those are the only two gachas I’ve tried.
