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.

Guild Wars & Guild Wars 2

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

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.

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.

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

Off of what I have record of - Stardew Valley. 387 hours on Steam, just over 200 hours on my Switch, and my current file on my phone is at 87 hours - not including previous files that I do not have anymore.

That being said, there are games that I bet would be up there as well but they don’t record time so I have no way of knowing.

Minecraft, which has over 200 hours on my Switch alone despite most of my play time being on PC or my phone.

Starcraft: Brood War Super Smash Bro. Melee. I don’t play these two much, anymore, but when I was young and didn’t have much else of a life, these took up an incredible amount of my time.

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.

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

Probably Minecraft. But I haven’t spent an insignificant amount of time in Garry’s Mod either.

According to Steam I’ve spent 5121 hours on Fallout 4.

That would be:

Dota 2

Warframe

Path of Exile

Skyrim

Mass Effect 3

Dragon Age: Origins

Apex Legends

I like games I can just pause and walk away from for a bit. Or just play while watching videos. So the hour counts are never really accurate. But I can safely assume in the past few years its Rimworld. It’s my game I can play while doing other stuff. But if I crank up the speed it’s engaging enough to focus on if I want to.

Lifetime totals it may be Minecraft though, I usually go back to it every few years. The urge comes and goes.
