I saw this question asked in another gaming community and thought it might be a good discussion here too.
My personal stats:
My games with over 1k hours (approximately):
Skyrim - 5,300
HITMAN - 1,350
Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200
Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring
I’d love to see what this community plays the most.
PS: to all who celebrate, merry Christmas, and I hope it was a lovely day.
Across different systems, probably Chronotrigger… Maybe civ 1. Not bloody 3, not bloody 5, 1.
Factorio 6000+ hours, heavily modded Minecraft probably between these two, rimworld 1400 hours.
I have yet beaten Factorio (satire). The factory must grow.
Between 10,000 and 20,000 in minecraft, mostly modpacks.
Quick name every mod.
Which modpacks you enjoy the most? I usually go for modpacks that have some type of end goal through questing so it’s something I can guide to get too.
Well over the years my tastes have changed. Playing as much as I do, I now find the most satisfaction from hardcore questing packs like gregtech new horizons, monifactory, and one I’m really looking forward to that is coming out soon is “Journey across the abyss” a sequel to journey into the abyss. I know the person making it as well and have been drip fed juicy details over the last year. It’s a hardcore questing pack based in the aether with tons of custom bosses.
It also happens that my job directly relates to minecraft so that adds to my playtime as well haha.
My most played game is probably The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. No idea in terms of how many hours. But I played it, then hundred-percented it (yes I found all the Korok seeds), then the DLC came out and I played that, then I started over in master mode, then I replayed it with mods, then I replayed it with cheats, then I speedran it for like a year.
-
Warframe, Apex (~1000h respectively, my mainstream ones as I’ve played those with friends mostly)
-
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 ~700h, probably my most favourite game of all time
-
Street Fighter 6 ~700h
-
Dragon Ball FighterZ ~600h, not a fan of versus games but tried with this one nevertheless
-
GG Strive also around 600h, hated the game during the entire time and regret the time spent with it to an extend. Got gaslight by devs statements and community that there was still “much to dig into the system despite the heavy simplification for mainstream appeal”. There was not. Characters are as deep as my bathtub.
-
Blazblue franchise ~150ish hours across multiple titles and platforms maybe. Difficult to say as I played some of those on the PS3.
-
Dark Souls 3 ~100h
-
Dead Or Alive 5 ~80h
Looking at that list, I didn’t play much single player games comparatively over the years which is a shame since I know I currently enjoy those way more. But the hours are spread around more among different titles as well so they didn’t make the list.
-
My top 10 on Steam:
- Europa Universalis 4
- Risk
- Cities Skylines
- Magic: Arena
- Yakuza 3
- Yakuza 0
- Yakuza Kiwami 2
- LEGO Marvel Superheroes (with my kids)
- FTL
- Yakuza Kiwami
It turns out Yakuza games have a lot of side content…
There’s a lot of playtime that isn’t counted since I didn’t make a Steam account until after it came to Linux. If I included that time (not sure how), FTL would be a lot higher since I played a bunch directly on Linux near launch, and I played a ton of Minecraft and Factorio around launch directly on Linux. Same goes for dozens of other games before I got into Steam.
Most recently, Marvel’s Spider-Man. I just loved immersing myself in that world: the environment, swinging, combat mechanics, and lighting. It is a cozy place to be, whether winding down after a stressful day, chatting with someone, or listening to music. I also got back to gaming after more than a decade, and this was the game that got hooked me again.
But my all-time favourite would be Age of Empires from back in the day – LAN games with friends and new coworkers, as well as the campaigns. A perfect way to unwind after work. I played it almost religiously for a couple of years in the late 90s.
An honorary mention goes to Hollow Knight, as the game finally clicked for me late last year. But when I checked the playtime, it was still lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man. Moreover, I don’t associate it with that same “feel-good” vibe as the other titles, but it was definitely a great experience. It also gave me a reason to keep using my Steam Deck.
Red dead 2, persona 5/royal, sekiro, Elden ring, Stardew, Skyrim, tekken 7 and 8, botw and totk, animal crossing games in general going back to the gamecube one. Sank a lot of hours into taiko no tatsujin too
That also makes me think of all the games that didn’t track playtime or where my saves are long gone. Like really that’s just modern era stuff. The snes and psx final fantasy games, chrono trigger, secret of mana, earthbound, parasite eve, etc are all fairly long and I’ve played through them multiple times. Then there’s games like streets of rage and sonic 2 that aren’t terribly long but i played them to death. Oh and stuff like street fighter 2 and tekken, mario 64, so many hours of my youth that I probably should’ve been studying
I kind of forgot about untracked hours from many years ago. Probably a lot of Pokémon games would count here for me too
oh my god Pokémon! For sure. This is just making me think of more: the games from when i was really young, like leisure suit Larry, police quest, day of the tentacle, sam and max, the dig, grim fandango, that are ultimately like 1-2 hours if you know what to do but in the absence of a walkthrough take like 600 hours of trial and error with endless save hopping
Those old adventure games used to be punishingly difficult
Only Rocket League is over 1000, League of Legends would probably be over 1000 too and CS 1.6 SHOULD be but Steam says 400 which is hard to believe.
Over 400: Crusader Kings III and Leaf Blower Revolution (obviously this one just ran in the background a lot without interaction…), CS 1.6
Over 200: Black Ops III Zombies, Skyrim, GTA V, Nioh, Nioh 2, Monster Hunter World
Terraria
Grim Dawn
Skyrim
Stardew
Borderlands
But this is just steam, doesn’t include all the time I’ve spent running the shadows (Shadowrun on Sega).
Civilization 6, Helldivers 2, fallout 4, and elden ring are all in the several hundreds of hours for me. I’ve got some decent time into cyberpunk 2077, valehim, no mans sky, and the wither 3 wild hunt too.
Nothing approaching 1k hrs yet…
For me it’s Heroes of Might and Magic V, The Witcher 3, The Sims 4.
Heroes is over 300 hours, Witcher over 150 and Sims a little over a hundred. Not sure about the exact numbers.
Around 2,000hrs in tf2 though my best guess is double that in Minecraft over the years
Rocket League, but just barely more than Skyrim from many moons ago.
