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.
If you count mods and third party derivatives, Doom/II
Some of my favourite games ever
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.
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.
Factorio, bought it in 2017, completed it several times and now playing Space Age. The factory must grow!
Spelunky2. Such a fun game. Steam claims only 530 hours
Geometry Wars3. Steam claims 2782 hours. The best twin stick shooter. I’ve played so far.
Rimworld, around 3590 All the civs… Several thousand
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…
Across different systems, probably Chronotrigger… Maybe civ 1. Not bloody 3, not bloody 5, 1.
- LeagueOfLegends.
- Persona 5 Royal.
- Hollow Knight.
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.
Terraria my only tracked game over 1000 hours and its still not at 2k. Maybe I’ll get there after the next final update.
Factorio 6000+ hours, heavily modded Minecraft probably between these two, rimworld 1400 hours.
I have yet beaten Factorio (satire). The factory must grow.
Baldur’s Gate 3 (~600 hours), BeamNG.drive (~550), Cities Skylines (~300), Space Engineers (~300), 7 Days to Die (~250) and Satisfactory (~230).
These are all stats from Steam and probably not fully representative. Satisfactory for example I used to play on Epic when I got it as a free game over there, probably logged at least another 500 hours or so on that platform.
My most played game of all time is most likely TES: Oblivion, which I started playing at release back when I was a teenager and had almost infinite free time. I’m not sure if I still have my oldest save to confirm, but I suspect it would be at least 1,500 hours, probably more across several characters.
-
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 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.
