For indie and cheaper stuff specifically? The Binding of Isaac is over 1k hours between my two copies. Rimworld, Factorio, and Terraria are all close to 500h as well. If Minecraft counts as one for you, this is an outlier with roughly 4k hours since 2011.

Otherwise, I am quite into MMOs and story-rich singleplayer RPGs, so there's a handful of them with well over several thousands of hours played too.

If you like Terraria, have you tried Starbound?

Yes. I didn’t like it nearly as much, if at all. I’ve heard mods make that game infinitely more enjoyable though, so maybe i’ll try it again some day
