General What makes a turn-based game “addictive” for you?

For me it’s that near-win feeling. You could mess up a little, but you can still recover if you could reason deeply. That tension is very interesting. There was a time I stayed up just trying to fix one bad decision from earlier in the turns. Before I knew it, it's 3am. The game just keeps dragging you back with that “you almost got it” energy. That loop is dangerous. You would think that are playing casually, but you’re actually locked in mentally.

I have encountered that almost” feeling” many times. That thing can hook you more than anything. The feeling that you can fix things keeps dragging you back. It's a big trap to be honest
