Look, I know that Baldur's Gate 3 might have topped our list of the best games of 2023, and I know my own glowing Baldur's Gate 3 review might make you think it would top my personal list, but I'm here to tell you that if we're to take hours played as evidence of total enjoyment, then Larian's CRPG pales in comparison to an unlikely contender, a game that I've played literally every day since its release this summer.
That game is Pokemon Sleep, and I'm not joking when I tell you that every night I've spent in my bed since July has been in service of what I still think is the weirdest Pokemon game out there. Writing this, I've logged 1,084 hours of sleep across 148 days, and that number is only going to go up and up through the rest of the year and into 2024.
