I.e., games that hooked you in and you couldn’t stop playing until it was finished. Not games that just happened to be unexpectedly short. And by “completed” I guess I mean the main story etc, not 100%ing the game :).

For me, it would be Catherine, Bioshock Infinite and Black Mesa (although I think I got to the final area then had to go to sleep and complete it the next day). I also played an ungodly amount of Hades in one sitting, but didn’t get the “full” ending in one day.

    Sleeping Dogs pulled me in real hard. I‘m super salty there‘s no Sleeping Dogs 2, I loved everything about this game.

    If any of you like GTA style gameplay, Sleeping Dogs is that plus kung fu movie flair (even has a cheesy king fu story DLC).

    Nioh, Nioh 2, Code Vein, Dark Souls 2 (I know), Fairy Fencer F, and Ni no Kuni 2 also put me in chains. Crusader Kings III has no real story but it made so many evenings disappear that I try to legit stay away from it lol

    Spec Ops: The Line. I started playing it in the morning, the story kept me engaged (and the gameplay was fun enough). I played it all day to its conclusion.

          Because it’s a game that’s constantly telling the player that they should stop playing it. That everything is going to get worse if you do and it’s all your fault. That you’re going to cross the line again and again and again until every single person in the game is doomed. And then we play through the entire thing anyway, because it’s so fucking good.

    I didn’t do the whole game in one sitting but I was glued to my chair for hours when I started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Remember looking at them time on my phone and going, “huh, it’s after midnight”. Then again later and finding out it was the beginning of daylight savings time. Went to sleep, woke back up, and played all day again. Fantastic game.

      One of my fondest gaming memories, too. I was sucked into the world. Had a rough time back then and it was the perfect escape.

    I wanna say Yoshis Island for SNES but it was so long ago I don’t remember if it was one or two sittings. Dunno about the “that was so good” part though. Just completed it :)

    Plants Vs. Zombies!

    My wife and I just sat there like… zombies… for the whole day and night until we finished it, and then went to bed surprised and happy when we got our musical reward at the end!

    The Flash gaming era at it’s best.
