We've all been there, right? A new game launches and it's just so darn good that you find yourself playing until the wee hours of the morning, bags under your eyes and a curious smell emanating from your armpits.
It's truly a wonderful feeling to experience a game that hooks you immediately and keeps you engaged so much that you completely forget about the relentless passage of time. And that's exactly what our video producer Felix is here to talk about with his latest video as he dives into eleven games that kept him up way past his bedtime.
Of course, it's not merely the sheer quality of these games that Felix is here to discuss (although that is certainly the primary reason). No, he also touches on a couple of other factors, including midnight launches and the unfortunate arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic back in 2020 (three guesses which game he discusses here).
So whatever the reason, we'd also love to hear from you too. Which game have kept you up until the early hours of the morning? Be sure to let us know with a comment in the usual place.
Oh by the way, there are also a couple of non-Switch games featured here, too... Yes, we play other consoles, y'know!

For me, it's usually RPGs that keep me up later than I'd like. Games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Atelier series, and Shin Megami Tensei/Persona... The way those games are designed have a way of keeping me hooked.
Splatoon 3 and Fire Emblem Three Houses have been keeping me up late.
@abbyhitter I think all S3 players can relate to staying up late! After all, can't end on a loss...
That's Star Allies and Forgotten Land for me. My goodness, so much you can do there.
Paper Mario sticker star and Smash Ultimate are right now keeping me up late. (PLEASE leave me alone thousand year door fans)
I had to put a bounty out on myself last year when TotK came out. After enough nights staying up until the wee hours of the morning, I told my friends that if they spotted me online, and sent me a picture, I would venmo them $20
@ClickBrick
FBI OPEN UP!! We know you're playing sticker star in there! OPEN THE DOOR OR WE'RE RAMMING IT DOWN! This is for your own safety, sir!
All jokes aside, so long as you're enjoying it, ish all gud.
Animal Crossing New Horizons saved me from going completely insane back in 2020 during that stupid lockdown. Yes, the villagers' dialogue was kind of disapponting, but I really enjoyed designing my island and looking for new villagers on the islands! Can't wait to officially start my ''reboot'' of ACNH next month on my secondary Switch!
Civ 6 did this to me
my first playthrough of persona 5 royal did this to me, it was so gripping!
@ClickBrick i tried it a few weeks ago, and its not bad at all! i think if it were a spinoff rather than a replacement to paper mario people would be a lot less up in arms about it
ACNH and Yokai Watch 3 are my combo before sleeping.
I actually slept on Death Stranding and it sat on my game shelf for a while in my backlog. Just started playing a few weeks ago after upgrading to Director's cut immediately. I'm blown away by this game. Whoever called it a walking simulator, obviously never played it. It's keeping me up at night.
