I think that’s a useful distinction. A lot of games do have natural endings, though some (especially online multiplayer games) don’t. I’ve definitely put much more time than I wanted into Overwatch and Rocket League; but I haven’t had that can’t-stay-away problem with most single-player offline games. Especially ones with definite narrative arcs, like, say, Final Fantasy 7 (both versions). Those are technically replayable, but like you say about movies, I don’t reach the end and think “just one more time through!”
