Addicting Games You Had To Force Yourself to Stop Playing?

For me, it's mostly "sim games" that do that. I'd spend hours on SimCity and Cities Skylines. I've logged marathon playing sessions on space sims like No Man's Sky and Starflight in the 1980s.

Tears of the Kingdom was my most-played game of 2023, by far. Spent hours just exploring and playing with Zonai machines. My second most-played game of 2023 was Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, which is a farm sim.

Similar for me, right now most of my gaming are colony sims or God Games (Which are basically colony sims on a larger scale and more powers anyway), generally with some survival elements. Oxygen not Included, Songs of Syx, The Universim, Rise to Ruins, Judgment: Apocalypse Survival Simulation, Banished...

And yes, you need to focus a lot in those games, so much so that time flies so fast you don't feel like you're gaming for hours already.
