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

    Inmost - short platformer/metroidvania game with a brutally emotional storyline.

    Far: Lone Sail - short puzzle/platformer game. Chill as fuck, great atmosphere and music. Story is only really gleamed from the environment that you traverse.

    Return of the obra dinn. Both because it’s good and because I was worried my train of thought would be interrupted if I took a break. Took me ~9 hours and gave me a really bad headache afterwards, no regrets.

    What Remains of Edith Finch. I ended up in tears after playing it. So beautiful.

    Also on Android Monument Valley and its sequel. Mesmerizing games.

    Carrion. I was surprised how much fun it was. There’s some nice but not overly difficult puzzles and some frantic bursts of combat

    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 :)
