The Elder Scrolls Online

Morrowind, no doubt. I've been playing it for twenty years, there's no telling how many hours I'm up to now across different platforms. Also, ever since I switched to OpenMW Steam stopped tracking my hours so now I really have no clue.

Must be Civ IV - that whole series makes you lose track of time - start a game and that's the whole weekend gone; even now Civ IV with the Realism Invictus mod feels like it's got tonnes of gameplay still left in it for me.

That said, OpenTTD has been an enduring favourite of mine for the past few years and because of its flexibility it might surpass it in the long-term.

I must say, there are a surprising amount of factorio players on this threat, glad to see that!

GTA series in general, and GTA V in particular.

Quake Champions for sure. Best competitive shooter I've ever played (and I've tried all the popular ones), great option if you like movement & aim centric games

Deep Rock Galactic at around 300h

Guild Wars 2; I'm at 6-7k hours or so. Been playing a lot less lately; I'm not sure if that's the recent content, or if it's me getting tired of it. I don't have a ton of objectives I'm interested in completing at this point; some "nice to have"s, but at this point any character or build I could possibly want to play, I have just about everything I need for. Mostly find myself logging in twice a week to do guild night with friends, and that's it.

Otherwise, GTA V, which surprises pretty much everyone I know except the friends I play with. It's just such an easy game to spend hoursblowing each other up or racing around or whatever in; really a fantastic game to play with friends.

Definitely Morrowind! The Elder Scrolls III. Oh, I might actually start it back up again at some point.. Maybe one should try the Tamriel Rebuilt mod.

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can't play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don't get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it's much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!

Rocket League has to be at the top along with Forza. Driving aimlessly without burning fuel in scenic views takes the chart

Binding of Isaac, over 1170 hrs.

Have I seen everything or am I any good at it? Hell no.

Over 750 hours in Total War: Warhammer II.

Probably 2,000 or so in Guild Wars 2.

Acorn Revs. can't tell you the hours, thousands would be my guess. Elite: not quite as many hours. Discovered the save file format.

Overall i've spent countless hours in minecraft and csgo for a close second

Recently tho I've been playing a lot of bloons and risk of rain 2. They're both really addictive

FFXIV with over 5k hours.

Definitely factorio, but I can't tell you how many hours. I started playing on steam, but then downloaded it from factorio.com and had multiple installs so I could play different mod packs. Steam says 1100 hours, but it's got to be 3 or 4 times that, total. I've played multiple saves that took several hundred hours

I can't believe the amount of time I have spent playing World of Warcraft. I am a recovering addict.

There are two games that I have spent a considerable amount of my life playing Planetside 2 and Path of Exile.

Planetside 2 released it was exactly the game that I was looking for. The experience of playing in an organised outfit was the best multiplayer gaming I've ever experienced.

Path of Exile is like a sledgehammer of a learning curve. Never had played an ARPG before this but once I got to maps my soul was taken indeed.

Before this left4dead 2 was the game that I had suck many hours into - what a game!

Dota 6k hours hahaha

Idle Wizard 6k+ hours

NGU Idle nearly 4k hours

MHR Sunbreak 1k+ hours

BattleTech 1k+ hours

MH World 800 hours

Those idle games running in the BG sure racked up the hours. Ran them for more than half a year before I realized I was just wasting power for something senseless.

Path of Exile. It literally captures you once you take a grasp on game mechanics and find an interesting character build.

Oh boy, theres a lot to talk about chatacter building.

Theres no ARPG game in the market with such complexity in planning your character. Dopamine hits when you reach your build's peak and while you chase for milestones, like upgrading gear, leveling, bossing, etc. Leagues are breath of fresh air, introducing expansions + new content, also possibility to start a fresh character in fresh ladder & economy.

Playing PoE with pals in a guild and sharing milestones, moments, items & currency, helping each other with progression sucks you even further in.

Its so addictive that I've had to stop playing it, because it takes so much of your time. But I don't regret playing it. Good times.

Risk of Rain 2, man. My absolute favorite game of all time.

Microsoft flight simulator thanks to slow internet and 200gb updates every time I play.

Terraria and Path of Exile

How on Earth does one spend 557 hours on Final Fantasy VI? I've finished it at least a half-dozen times over the years since it came out, and I doubt I've spent that much time with it. And at least one of those sessions I got everyone to max level and taught them every spell in the game. I suppose I have not taught Gau all the possible Rages, but doing that sounds insufferable.

Edit: Are replies broken? This was a reply to a comment, but it showed up as a separate comment.

Kerbal Space Program (not 2) has around 300 hours on my steam account. I have played around equally much on another account. KSP2 is painful to see perform so badly.

That would be Elden Ring. Spent 200+ hours on that game (might sound like rookie numbers but that was my first open world game, was just a casual gamer before that).

4000 hours in the Sims, Sims2, Sims3 and 4. Around 8000 in WoW Retail and around 2000 in RimWorld.

XCOM 2

Metin2 my whole childhood. Then Minecraft and Counter Strike

Probably GTA Vice City back in the day. So much room to just dick around and kill random people.

1. Doom I and II with who knows how many hours since Christmas 1996.

2. Minecraft since 2011.

3. Binding of Issac with close to 1k hours.

4. Factorio with 850+ hours and currently rising.

Dunno if counts as a game really.. But about 4k hrs of VRChat - love the place and the friends I made there!

On Steam my top game is GTA V with like 1.1k hours, I haven't played it in over 2 years tho.

But the actual top game is probably Minecraft, tho it's hard to get an exact number.

ooh, astroneer is great! haven't played it myself but seen some gameplay of it. mine is Planetside 2 with about 2400 hours... most of that is from the past two years I'd say
