What genre of game can you just not put down?

Virtual01

What genre of game will keep you playing until 5AM, even though your eyes are bleeding and you have to be up for work in 3 hours?

 

For me it is undoubtedly strategy RPGs. They usually have quick missions and engaging gameplay sprinkled with frequent rewards/upgrades. This makes it really easy to justify doing "just one more mission" 25 times in a row as your life spirals out of control. It's so bad that sometimes I forgo playing these games at all for fear of destroying my ability to function the next day.

RPGs and story driven games, up until a certain point. If the game's less then 48 or so hours to play through I'll complete in a few days of getting it, as Dragon age Origins and Hacknet have proven for me. I suppose sims as well sometimes, but less often.

dont know what genre they fall into but borderlands 2 has gotten pretty addictive for me and mass effect is my all time favorite game.

Probably rogue and rogue-likes. At this moment I'm really into The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. That game makes me ragequit so hard, but I keep coming back to it.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

Fuuuuck forgot about those. My life was in shambles when I was playing Rogue Legacy and Ziggurat.

I recently played this with my little brother and it's actually pretty good fun.

I was looking forward to Need for Speed coming out on the PC, thinking it would give a well deserved nod to the days of Underground 2. However, I had a little go on the PS4, and the driving is weird. You could be doing 180 mph, quick handbrake turn into a hard left, and STILL make it! Any other game and you'd have gone straight into the building.

Rail shooters...

I enjoy myself some Time Crisis every now and then... Now if only they fixed the input lag in Time Crisis 5...

Flash games...

I've built my life schedule around a single flash game...

you can do 0-90 faster in 7th or 6th gear, faster than grinding through gears, thats hell of a clutch control even for a game.
