Civilization V is fun to play for 2 weeks 8-12 hours per day but then it gets boring. But yes, I couldn't stop playing it at first. :p
Euro truck simulator 2. War thunder (non steam free to play game)

I feel the same way. But that's pretty impressive for me.
Then I pick it back up again months later, start over, repeat.

Civ 5, GalCiv 2, Endless Space, Rogue Legacy, FTL, Torchlight 2, Super House of Dead Ninjas - I guess I'm quite the addict

Let's see. Well, Civ is the first one I manage to think of, both IV and V (with Gods 6 kings, I'd want BNW too but it's too expensive yet).
Then in the past Skyrim, now I don't really have all that urge to play, this also goes for Defense Grid, Deus Ex (both the original and HR), The Binding of Isaac, FTL, GTA, Fallout 3, Oblivion and many others.
At this time I'm mainly playing Don't Starve and it's weird: I want to keep playing like forever (or until I die horribly), but at the same time I have this "keen sense of discomfort" as the agme itself mentions it that urges me to stop; I suppose it's not as tragic as it seems from my depiction, but the game does it well, seeing as it is intended.

Second person I see who thinks something is wrong with CKII UI. What is wrong with CKII's UI???

It's needlessly complex, doesn't have enough explanation, the tutorials are pure waste product, and the community is haughty, condescending and only sometimes helpful, usually making excuses for Paradox's poor teaching tools and UI? :)
Great game, though, till you can't figure out what to do...again.
If Paradox would learn how to really teach new players, then they'd at least double their core base, IMO. Maybe more. The idea of the games is amazing. The execution is sometimes great and sometimes infuriating. Never intuitive.

Yeah. You're dead on. EUIII was much worse. I've played CKII for many hours. EUIII was one session and out.
And yes, if they'd work on their new player tutorials/help/manual/etc., then they'd be on the road to true greatness, IMO.
One of my aforementioned games, OOTP baseball, has an epic searchable manual that is very helpful and explains nearly every button/option in the game. It isn't perfect, but it's well done and helpful.
It can be done for highly complex games. Paradox just chooses not to. Or doesn't care. Or something. I can't quite figure it.

Dark Souls, Counter-Strike (any & all variations), FTL, Binding of Isaac, and also I'm currently hooked on FF7

Portal 2 custom chambers. The Prime example is Azorae's lasers and light bridges. I've tried to solve this chamber for the past few MONTHS, and I still have no idea. Yesterday I gave it another shot, failed, and slept very bad because I was trying to solve it in my head. I'd say that's a good example if you can't even put it down after turning off the pc.

I haven't had that in a while, but while it lasted, Skyrim

I guess I'm going to have to buy Dark Souls when it goes on sale again here at the end of this gorging.

I'd say Dark Souls is definitely that sort of game, but not everyone likes it. Maybe wait for it to be 75% off again, just in case it doesn't appeal to you for some reason. :)
If you do get it, the fan-made fix things are almost a necessity. And not to scare you off, but there are some cheaters floating around who can screw up your character if they happen to invade your game, so be sure the savegame backup feature of "DSfix" is turned on and functioning - it's disabled by default.
Fortunately, most of the few cheaters I've experienced are just clowns using trainers for infinite health - so they only kill you, not ruin your game. I've only met the character-ruining type once, but since I was level 1 all he did was waste my time. Usually I get killed because the other guy simply played better, not because of some Dark Souls aimbot.
Good luck! \\[T]/

So many people are opening "which game" threads and end up being persuaded to get Dark Souls. I hope DS2 sells well enough on the PC so they keep developing for this platform.

Would love some thoughts on games that you just can't stop playing. That you have to do just ONE MORE TURN. Or clear one more area. Or get to that next checkpoint/objective.
For me, the Civilization series does this. To a lesser extent Endless Space. I guess I'm a 4X dude. I s'pose I need to pick up Legendary Enchantress. :)
Mass Effect series does this for me to some degree, too.
And sim-only type stuff sometimes gets me. Out of the Park Baseball and (once I get past the shit UI/tutorials) Crusader Kings II.
What are yours? Maybe I'll learn about some new games.
