I did find incremental progression games interesting in how they make the extrinsic motivation, the numbers-go-up system, the core game mechanic.

My experience with games like this (Cookie Clicker, Vampire Survivors, Wizard Tower, etc) is that they are a fun little distraction that gets boring very quickly. Like, they can captivate me for an hour or two but eventually it becomes blatantly obvious that this game just abuses my brain without providing an actually worthwhile experience.
