My top 3:

1. RimWorld

2. Skyrim

3. No Man’s Sky

If MMOs count, EVE Online at well over 12,000 hours over the last 20 years.

If not, nethack has probably consumed close to 1000 hours of my life.

Deep rock galactic. 1500 hours. 😬

Rock and stone!

Almost certainly World of Warcraft. I don’t think I even liked it for most of the time I spent playing it. I’ve been annoyed about the overall direction since basically Cataclysm, and IMO Burning Crusade laid the foundations for most of my major complaints, although I didn’t realize it at the time. I have decided that I’m opposed to the “expansions add a new tier of everything that invalidates old content” model of expanding games. If creating diverse content that is still enjoyable at level 60 is too hard, then maybe games just don’t need to be expanded indefinitely past their original level caps.

Steam says Borderlands 2, but I must’ve accidently left it running or somethingbecause I definitely haven’t played it that much.

Next would be Sunless Seas and Frostpunk at around 200 hours which sounds about right.

Guild Wars & Guild Wars 2

Im not sure about total hours…

But several thousand in WoW. Back during release and for at least 5 years i played like 8 hours per day on avg. I would guess.

I would estimate 10000 - 12000 hours. Maybe a bit more.

I dont play it anymore though.

The game i have most time played on, on steam, would be Gfim Dawn. That game is amazing.

Garry’s mod by a wide margin. I’ve been playing for more than 10 years and accrued around 2000 hrs

seems like the only game I ever play these days is the Halo Master Chief Collection… just play through all 6 campaigns then start over again

That would be:

Dota 2

Warframe

Path of Exile

Skyrim

Mass Effect 3

Dragon Age: Origins

Apex Legends

I guess I can’t know for sure, but I’d say it has to be Minecraft. I wish there was a way to see the hours I’ve spent in the Java Edition of the game. If it’s not Minecraft though, my second guess would be Rocket League. When I add up the hours across the platforms I’ve played on, it comes out on top by a small margin.

As a series, most certainly Pokémon. Young me played the Silver version countless times back in the day. I still do the odd ROM hack now and then.

As a single game, Skyrim.

My #1 is most likely rocket league, as i’ve ppayed 500 hours on pc, 300+ hours on switch, and many more years on the ps4 (since launch).

Second is minecraft, (or first, not sure), since i’ve been playing since 2011/2012.

Third is CSGO at 350 ish hours.

Mine should be Monster Hunter with roughly 2-3 k hours across the series. But single-game most played hours should be Final Fantasy XIV with a little more than 1.5k hours.

To be honest: Im not proud of any of this. Most of the time was accumulated when I was much younger and I wish I would’ve had the courage to engage in meaningful encounters with other people instead. Gaming used to be my main escape mechanism, which helped me get through some rough times, but held my personal progress behind by a good margin. A little playing on the side won’t hurt though, nowadays.

I’ve been playing & modding Neverwinter Nights since 2005.
