Games

the binding of isaac: rebirth. steam claims ~800 hours, but with the time I played offline, its probably closer to 1300-1400

My list of multiple hundreds/thousands of hours include, in no particular order;

• Minecraft (unknown, been playing since browser alpha demo)
• Skyrim (600)
• Rocket League (4000)
• Fall Guys (1500)
• Stardew Valley (unknown, play multiple saves a year on different platforms)
• Vampire Survivors (400)
• No Man’s Sky (1200)

Dota 2. I barely enjoy it, but it's hard to find games that a friend group will agree to consistently play.

Steam says my top 3, in order, are ARMA3 (though more than half of that has to be with the game minimized as I work on scripts for mods), Team Fortress 2, and Rocket League. All have over 2000 hours, Arma 3 has slightly over 3k.

However, from 1997 to 2007 (literally haven't played it since The Orange Box released), I was playing Ultima Online for at least 8 hours a day, every day. So if that kept track of my play time, it would likely be numero uno. Diablo 2 and EverQuest would be right behind it.

Oblivion, Skyrim, Every Fallout (yes even 1 and 2, but especially New Vegas) borderlands 2, Diablo 2 & 3, Stardew Valley, and there were a few years of CoD, and a WoW phase.

Oh. And ten years worth of Hearthstone.

Kerbal Space program (1800.8) DCS world (1172.2) Witcher 3 (1131.5) Sims 4 (838.2) Stardew Valley (579.3)

I just wish ksp2 wasn’t a massive flop and I eagerly await KSA.

Hard to say, but I would think Minecraft (over the last decade) then Factorio. If we’re factoring in games from when I was younger then it’s certainly COD followed by Halo then Gran Turismo.

League of legends, Counter Strike and Warcraft 3 custom maps are waaaay up there.

Factorio is catching up though

Overall? Probably Unreal Tournament (1999). That was when I was at the peak of my gaming time and I would play for hours most weeks and played that basically for a solid decade.

In the modern era? Warframe which Steam says I have over 700 hours in.

Timberborn. 4,677 hours. I enjoy my beavers.

Final Fantasy XI and it's not even close.

2000 hours in Garry's Mod, 1300 in TF2. Third place is way behind, Hollow Knight at 180.

Fallout 4 and Skyrim

SteamDB says Rimworld, but I'm almost certain it's actually Fallout: NV, as the Nexus launcher at one point bypassed Steam and so those hours aren't represented. I have about 1100 hours in Rimworld, but probably closer to 3000 in Fallouts 3 and NV.

Lol I somehow completely forgot about Guild Wars 2. Pretty sure my age in that game is over 2 years of active playtime.

TF2, Diablo II, and Ragnarok Online. 1k-2k+ hours each.

I have 3,400 hours in Space Engineers.

About 1,500 hours in FFXIV, 1,400 hours in DayZ, and 1,300 hours in 7 Days To Die.

Then 900 hours in Empyrion Galactic Survival, 500 hours in Baldurs Gate 3, and 300 hours in Fallout 4.

The rest are well below 200.

Probably 2048 which is just a fidgeting toy for me.

The X3 games (Reunion/Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude) would be one game with DLC today, combined they're my only 1000hr+ game. X4 is one game with DLC and is well on it's way to that record.

I'm not sure if it's wow or League.

I played League for 10 years but in my adult phase, while wow was mostly while studying so a lot more hours to burn.

Skyrim over 2000 hours easily, 400 some into Assassins Creed Odyssey and Ghost Recon Wildlands; I have no idea how many I put into Vindictus, which is an MMORPG I played for more than a decade. For phone games I’ve probably put the most time into the Kingdom Rush series, best TD out there.

KSP. I colonized almost the entire system on chemical rockets alone with bases and ISRU fuel depots orbiting the smaller moons (I'd have to go to each base, do some mining, and refill the orbiting tanker station before every long mission so it's ready when I got there). I'm not at my PC but last I checked it was a couple thousand hours.

Rocket League, by far. 1500 hours or so.

No hard numbers here, but probably Medieval 2: Total War.

Every few months I get the urge to play and log more hours doing a few campaigns.

WoW, CS 1.6, Warframe, and ARK

I think something like 5k hours into Warframe, 15 years into WoW (at least 2 of my characters have 1+ year of playtime--so 17k hours just on those 2; and I max-leveled every class of character up until Battle for Azeroth) and so far, 2 years into ARK. Just over 3.5k hours of playtime between ASE and ASA.

7 Days to die. 1600 hrs on steam Call of Duty. 1200 hrs on steam

Elite, the original one, on Commodore 64.

World of Warcraft is the absolute winner in my case. I have no idea on actual numbers, given 99% of my time was in private servers, with a very brief stint on official. Only one of those private servers is still around, with my character from Warlords of Draenor times still there.

Outside that, probably Skyrim (many hours playing pirate versions, modding it with more lethal combat, more lore-friendly armors and "actual" civil war, among other things). I wonder how many hours I've spent on Dwarf Fortress, as I've only played the freeware version, starting with 0.34, before trees had height.

steam says I played Fallout 4 for 436 hours, but that seems very high. not sure if that count is accurate.

I have few hundred hours in Minecraft. And probably something like 180h in Witcher 3 GOTY. Recently I 100% Yakuza 5 with 120h on the counter, and it was (mostly) fun, because game is packed with many different minigames, so it wasn't repetetive.

The most that I have proof of is Europa Universalis IV at a little over 1k hours, but I wouldn't be surprised if my time on Guitar Hero 3 in high school surpassed that by quite a bit. I played a lot of Guitar Hero in high school...

DayZ, I have around 3000 hours in it.

Probably counterstrike back in the day, possibly battlefield 2 including the Project Reality mod. That was back when gametime wasn't really tracked and I had a lot more spare time Possibly WoW, but I only played for a couple of years or less and for a few hours a day at most.

Currently my highest is Forza Horison 5 with like 1200 hours. Have a few others with 500+ hours although a few are inflated at least 100+ hours because the game locked up on closing and counted as played for several days multiple times.

Old School RuneScape, Gran Turismo 5 & 7, The Crew 1, 2 & Motorfest and I think Midtown Madness 1 & 2 are also high on my list of most played games.

Probably still World of Warcraft. When I quite around 2010, I had close to 700 days /played time on my main, and another 400 days between various alts.

In no particular order:

• Ragnarok online
• Darkspace
• Monster hunter (multiple games)
• Dj max (multiple games)
• Garry's Mod
• Aliens VS predators 2 (1998)
• Halo
• Warframe Phantasy star online (and 2) Path of Exile Morrowind probably.

Stardew Valley and Core Keeper ;)

According to Steam the top 3 are:

1. Oxygen not included
2. Civilization 5
3. Factorio

But that of course does not include the games not running from Steam and pre-Steam games. So World of Warcraft is somewhere in there too. And the final Top 1 must be Transport Tycoon Deluxe (even if you don't include OpenTTD).

As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.

Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.

Guild Wars 2 has been my theme park MMORPG of choice on and off for the last 12 years, with >2500h. I have also spent ~1000h on Elite Dangerous.

Pokemon, either Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Violet, I would have to look at the Switch itself to compare, but last I looked at either one it was around 400-something hours. Shiny hunting can be a surprisingly cozy time-waster, lol.

One of the Paradox strategy games by a comfortable margin. It'll be one of the Crusader Kings or Victoria games. I've got a weekly game night with a couple of friends that was originally just CK, but has for a while now been working extremely slowly through a megacampaign. You can take the end of Crusader Kings and make it into a mod for the start of Europa Universalis, then repeat the process into Victoria and then Hearts of Iron. You need to set some rules for yourselves, because an experienced player doesn't need even a third of the CK timeline to demolish all AI threats, but the games are already good roleplaying fodder anyway so you can set rules that play into that. We're currently about three quarters of the way through Victoria

Outside of those, Noita or Deep Rock Galactic. For a while, those plus a podcast were my go-to "zone out brain off" relaxation, so the hours racked up

Maplestory and Warcraft 3 almost certainly hold the first two places from an age gone by, but I don't have numbers for those.

For games that I do have numbers for, Anno 1800, Stardew, and Total War Warhammer (especially if you combine the trilogy).

Easily Fallout 4 or No Man's Sky
