To be totally honest I nearly missed you putting the definition of minmaxing up because I was already feverishly typing it in a comment "well akshually..."
Honestly, watching the 12 days of SwitchUp are probably the highlight of my day, especially with how busy it is at work, it's just so chill and easy to watch you guys to end my day! Keep up the good work guys!!
This is the second time you guys have put Advance Wars in the 12 days, and the more exposure I have to it, the more I’m chomping at the bits to try the game. Looks so addictive! Cheers, gents, I’m going to be sad when the 12 days end!
Bomberman is such a throwback for me. I was so addicted to it on the SNES with the multi tap and a few controllers. I always had them in tow when going to a friends house.
Right now I’m playing Ooblets and it is so addicting. I also find Mario Wonder very addicting. I don’t always feel like I need to complete everything in a Mario game, but that is one that I will play much more than any other recent Mario game.
I play mainly single player narrative games and rarely get that addictive feel from games... However 2023 was the year Hades finally got me - I had always been one of those "doesn't do roguelikes" people - but 100 odd hours says differently.
I’ve been completely hooked onDave the Diver. Completely addictive cycle of fishing for ingredients and then cooking the sh!t out of them in the evening. And then just doing ooooone more cycle and, oh sh!t it’s 3am.
I find my most addictive games as I get older are Rogue Like/lite games like Slay the Spire. They tend to be easy to get into because od my kinited amount of time.
you said that you've been recording a long time and that made you start behaving a bit silly, It seems to me that your videos would be more entertaining if you did this for every video lol. This was greatly entertaining to watch, keep it up guys.
I can't even count how many hours Vampire Survivors has taken from me. Countless boring lines and waits turned to wondrous destruction cause of this game. Amazing how such a simple concept held my attention for so long.
Rogue-likes and games that rely on random and procedural generation don't really get addictive to me. The way that the worlds are laid out just don't feel intentional or well-constructed in the same way that more linear games that are built around the uniqueness of their world, characters, and story and how they fit in a unique layout tend to be more "addictive." They may not feature the same amount of "one more time" replayability, but I will return to them over the years because they were so memorable. Long-term vs short-term memory/interest, I suppose.
I find RPGs to be the most addictive games for me. I just can’t continue through the main story until I’m done with literally all the side quests and events possible at that given moment. Over 180h well spent on XC3, SMT V and Persona 5 this year alone. 😅
Isn't the most addictive game the game of salivating over eshop game sales and smashing the buy button to add to the ever growing, impossible to defeat, gigantic backlog? Some say it's even more fun than the games themselves.
@@r_apt_urewhat if you miss some important bit of character development...or loot that you would have otherwise had to purchase? Or not have a bajillion health apples or what have you?!
This year, Tears of the Kingdom was very addictive. There was just a bunch of bite size quests or shrines that felt like they wouldn’t take very long, and they would be within sight once you finished the last one. So, foolish me would think “sure, I can do one more” before realizing I’ve been doing one more for the last hour or more
Y'all had way too much fun with this one 😂 I've been playing Vampire Survivors the last few days and it IS SO ADDICTIVE. And yet I still haven't made it out of the forest lol
I haven't played any of the addictive games on this list, but the addictive game I have been playing is Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I got really addicted to going in and finding new spots to graffiti or characters to unlock. I had a streak where I found skin after skin for the skates. Hiding the songs (which is its own reward because those songs are amazing), or different outfits for the characters kept me going back for more. Can't wait for the next episode, guys
Brotato and Vampire Survivors both have that addictive factor like Civilization's "just, one more turn!" Thing it has going for it. Gamedec is super fun. Ive always been a fan of those isometric style games since playing Commandos as a kid.
Hi guys, My addictive games this year was No Man's Sky, Remnant from the ashes, monster hunter rise and borderlands 1. It's been an absolutely great year of gaming for me 😊
It is amazing how addictive gets can depend on the person. I for one find simulation games addictive. I like Stardew valley, Animal Crossing and like playing Prison Architect and other games where you can build your own world.
Even though it came out in December of 2022, I played through the Crisis Core remaster this year and I found the gameplay to be very addicting. I spent so many hours only completing missions.
That game is gorgeous, and the fighting system was awesome.i 'm gonna get it back again i think. But games where the story is like that, with missions and less focus on the story, like in monster hunter rise or astral chain, i have more trouble getting into them....
My switch is quickly becoming my easy dopamine fix with so many great roguelikes games. For me the addictive part is chasing those legendary runs where the stars align and choices synergise perfectly together. They are rare but the feeling is unmatched.
It's interesting what addictive means to different people. I don't play roguelikes much, so for me, I find addiction in a great story. Like Persona 5. I'm so invested in the story/characters I cant stop playing, that's addictive to me. It's also why I enjoy visual novels so much 😊
Is visual novel the same as point and click btw? I don't think i've ever had a visual novel, but I have thimbleweed park, that i didn't try yet, and i used to have oxenfree, are those point and click or visual novels?
Dave the Diver was super addicting to me. I always wanted to do onw more "run" or dive :D They always added a new element to the gameyplay. So many cool Features. It never got boring.
@@Biggus__Dickus I also played dredge. It is a wonderful game. But for me Dave the Diver is clearly the better one. But yeah this is just my personal opinion. Both are great
The most addictive games I’ve ever played are Hades, Portal and Stardew Valley! I only found them thanks to these lads. Also, bring back the high pitched “see ya”!!!
I got the physical copy of Double Dragon, it came with stickers and poster and I gotta say, it's fun. The routes of bosses change depending on what you choose first, and even though it's short, I had fun with it.
Loop Hero was a pleasant surprise for me. From the initial look of it you'd think it wouldn't be anything special. But once you start to play it you'll be surprised how in depth and addictive it can be. It's a very good game in my opinion
I downloaded it around 23h00, the next time I looked away the sun was peaking up on the horizon. I agree. Good game...looks like smeared mud on a shingle
I thought Vampire Survivors was a support group! tumbleweed... TOTK was my (slightly worrying) addiction this year... when I eventually went to change the cartridge, there was cobwebs on my switch collection!
My addictive game is Dragon Quest XI S. I never played a JRPG that wasn't pokemon before this. I usually don't like long games. This game really didn't look like my typical choice, but I didn't have much money one week, and heard that the demo was very long and you could continue your progress. I have since sunk 200 hours into this game, and its in the conversation for one of my favourite games of all time. Well worth playing.
Min maxing = droppings some stats/skills to maximize others. So your character will be a very focused one trick pony. Super powerful but slow. Or really smart but weak for example.

TRPGs like Disgaea get in my head. I just can't stop thinking about how to optimise my team and/or play style. Then, you get your own strategy for grinding and you are lost completely.😂😂
If only HoloCure would be on Nintendo Switch, then it would be the most addictive game in the Switch. Also, been a while since I watched a SwitchUp video and you lads are killing it! Keep up the good work mates!
It would be great if you guys could make a video of the best switch hidden gems that are not roguelike/rogue-lite or metroidvania. It seems 90% of the action rpgs are metroidvania or rogue.
I think platformers like Mario and adventure explorers like the 2D Castlevanias are the most addictive games. Games that offer a variety of different environments and mechanics to explore.
I think this video is cursed bc it seems to eat my comment each time I try to place it... Regardless addictive for me means I can play it without a ton of setup in short sessions without too much mental expenditure. As much as I want to play epic scale RPGs all the time the 3-5 hr time sink to get thru tutorial and set-up puts me off a wee tad
For me what makes games addictive is just one more turn or one more day mechanic's. For example I was hooked on LittleWood for a few months. Something about that game with just one more day had me playing for hours at a time. I know it's not from 2023 but still a blast and still addicting.
Man 2023 has kept me so busy this year with gaming. Xenoblade 3 DCL, Zelda, Howarts, Octopath 2, Shredder’s Revenge, Tales of Symphonia, Persona 5 and many more. 😂😂😂
Switch-Up: *Summons Addictive Games List* "Ok guys, let's.... wait, ....hmmm, we're missing someone." Brotato: *Sweats* "Is he gonna remember? ...Omg what if I'm too easy to be addictive." Switch-Up: *suspenseful music intensifies* "Someone very important...." Brotato: *Sweating Luck Upgrades* Switch-Up: "WHERE'S BOMBERMAN?!?" Brotato: 💀 "Well, I guess it's another run..."
Well I definitely found out what min-maxing exactly means, thanks for that 😊 anyway, a game that is really addictive for me is the original Bubble Bobble, got it on the switch and can’t put it down! I think that the constant effort to reach a higher level or a higher score in every run is what made it addictive, and the fact that you succed in that little by little
On the 6th day of SwitchUpmas Mark and Glen gave to me: 6 Epic Outtakes 5 BARJAIN'S! 4 newly patched up games 3 games to avoid 2 interesting games they've been playing And Akane the best game to start your day!
I’d say addictivness for me comes from the storytelling… there are some good point and clic I couldn’t put down till the end like Röki or Road to Calvary.
Dredge was addictive for me. Kept going out for one more trip until I had finished the game. Looking forward to the DLC, but need to work on the backlog first.
Yess the spurs training jacket is back 👌👊 Great list gents ❤ ember knights is one i wanna pick up. Loved vampire survivors this year, got about 50 hours on it, so addictive!
I find many deckbuilders addictive. Always looking for new cards and ways to play them. Also Super Mario Wonder was so addictive, I played it through in a weekend I think.
I'm not kidding when I say I'm afraid of trying out Vampire Survivors. Because it looks like something I'm definitely gonna get super addicted to 😅 This year I haven't actually played a game that's addictive in a traditional sense I guess. But I've binged TotK for sure, cause for me it's the same as in BotW: if I get tired of one activity, there's a dozen other things I could do. And I get distracted all the damn time 😅
If you really are tired of saying “Potato” in a British accent, try instead of saying Po Tay Toe, say Po Taytoe. Think of the last two syllables as closer together.
Once I realized the mechanic of combining things and becoming an all powerful god wiping the screen with lightening and onions...I also couldn't put it down.
Ember Knights so much yes! Been absolutely loving playing that one with a couple of mates. It is another VS-like but Army of Ruin has stolen many hours of my time so got mention it, plus it's actually a lot more than the VS-clone but in 3D that it looks like at first so well worth checking out
Where did the Christmas jumper go? Not feeling festive? All jokes aside, some good choices here. My favourite from this bunch is Vampire Survivors for sure, spent hours playing that late summer with my boy. Recently it's actually been Lego Fortnite but my choice for most addictive game would actually go to Suika. The most addictive game I think I've played. Fully completed Mario Wonder but put more hours into Suika.
Great video as always guys. For me, most addictive genre is 4x games. Especially the Civilization series. I played through all six entries and the spin offs (Alpha century, the A.C. beyond Earth, ...). I grew up from being a child to nowadays playing these games, and spent thousands of hours in total. The last entry, the Civilization VI, got it day one when came out for PC and did the same with the Switch version. Totally worth it.
Nautical rascals! Love it!, 😂 absolutely love advance wars although I agree, the art style they shouldn't have changed but takes away nothing from the games. Seeyaaaa!!
Glad to hear it. I've seen some good footage of it but it's not a genre I play a lot of. But since I like a bunch of their other games seems a good one to test the waters
Factorio is by far the most addict thing on the Switch - which literally never goes on sale, so will likely never get highlighted again on your channel =(
Great video! Alot of these games look really unique and awesome. For me, my most addictive game(not just for 2023, but every year) is either Mario party or Mario Kart. That’s because those are the 2 games my whole family loves to play (even my mom who knows nothing about video games). My family is so competitive and we have such a great time playing. So many memories with these games from childhood all the way through adulthood and now having a child of my own. Fire one of these games up and hours go by before anyone notices! As much as I love solo games, nothing compares to my family gathering around the tv and having a great time together!
