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.
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.
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
Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead. Because I usually die in like the first week in game lol
Stray.
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 :)
The most recent is Stray. I loved the worldbuilding and well, the cat.
you gotta play Knytt Underground. I think you’ll like it. 2d physicals-platformer open-world game
Portal 2
Portal 1
Yeah, Portal 1 & 2 for me.
Well the writer said yes to 3 but we need valve.
antichamber literally kept me up all night until I finished it at 9am
I also completed bioshock infinite in one sitting with my brother when I was younger. That shits a core memory for me now lol
I first played Infinite in college and the game took me about 15 hours to complete on PC. That game is a work of frickin art. One of the prettiest ever made.
I actually only just played BioShock 1 & 2 for the first time recently because the whole series was on sale in the Nintendo store for dirt cheap. So I ended up playing the whole series on our Switch while my wife watched. She’s more of a watcher than a player. I’ve been loving her watching me play the new Zelda. It’s cute.
Half life 1 and portal 1
Little Nightmares, What Remains of Edith Finch.
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.
super metroid and metroid zero mission. Man I love those games.
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. Granted I had a lot less responsibilities back then but I thoroughly enjoyed the game.
Me and my friend used to play that a lot back in the day. It had a great co-op mode. Did you see it got re-released about a year and a half ago?
