That depends on why you feel the need to keep playing a game.

Most games sort of pull you along. They want you to finish the whole thing, so there are various incentives to make you want to keep playing and progressing the game's storyline, or your character level or whatnot.

Games like Minecraft are more of an environment to push against. You keep playing because you want to finish your castle of doom or lake of lava or whatever.

Either type of game can suck you in, it just depends on your personality type. Personally, Minecraft doesn't do much for me; I'm much more vulnerable to the "just one more level" attraction of more linear games. I can't speak for you, though.
