Satisfactory. I'm well past 1,500 hours.
The factory must grow
The factory building genre is way to addictive, I only have like 200 hours as of now in satisfactory, but I must say Spaghetti bases on satisfactory are a work of art
In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That's over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.
Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.
The above two I don't regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.
Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.
Edit: Added hours!
Another WoW addict checking in. I was somewhere north of 12,000 hours from release to the end of Wrath with another stint during Classic.
I've since quit with no intention of ever returning. Despite how much I loved the game it doesn't love me back, and it's better if I don't play at all.
It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!
Rocket league.. 4500 hours.. only a diamond 2
Also Rocket League. I've got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can't do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.
Where are you people getting all this time from?!
20 years ago before I had a wife, a child, pets, or a mortgage and when I had a simple job, I would destroy weeks at a time with some Final Fantasy 8. Logged obscene hours, unlocked every secret and beat every minigame, more than once. There's just no time in my life now for a game requiring that kind of time commitment, but there's always the memories
Factorio - 364h on steam and god only know how many outside Planetary Annihilation: Titans - 332h BeatSaber - 230h
But compared to other gamers ...
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
This is a low ball but I easily have 3000+ hours in FFXIV and Old School Runescape (not combined)
Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?
I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like "Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC". It was tough :-/
All of these comments have amateur numbers. My most played is wow and over all of my characters its on the order of 500 days.
Parent here, very badly envious of all y'all's numbers.
(but in my pre-kid days I'm sure I put in at least 300 hours on the pre-Steam version of Dwarf Fortress)
World Of Warcraft. I stopped looking at /played once I passed 5000 hours and that was during WoTLK, I'm gonna take a guess and say i would have ended up between 12-13k hours. Just stopped playing one day about 4 years ago and have had no interest in logging back in for some reason.. just weird I'd had enough.
Team Fortress 2, i'm on like 2000 hours, which is rookie numbers really, but i joined during the pandemic so, thats why...
Roughly 2.000 hours in Terraria. But Factorio is quickly catching on.
8k hours in Minecraft, 1.4k hours in City Skylines, about 1.2k of those in one city. ๐
I can't believe the amount of time I have spent playing World of Warcraft. I am a recovering addict.
Factorio
Reaching 1000hours and barely scratching the surface
Minecraft easily. The game doesn't record hours but if I were to guess it would be at least 10k hours.
Second most played game has to be Diablo 2. In Diablo 3; I have 350 hours on one character, 200 hours on another, 125 on another and various temp character that I play during seasons and delete probably another 400 hours there. With all that being said about Diablo 3. I've definitely put more hours into Diablo 2. I would guess at least 3000 hours for Diablo 2
Game with the most hours played on Steam is Town of Salem at 750 hours and then Grim Dawn at 360 hours.
2000+ hours in the original KSP. Still play it occasionally. Tried KSP2. When the itch strikes again, I'll be back in KSP1.
Slay the Spire 187 hrs and counting. No where near the time I see others have put into single games.
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.
OpenTTD FTW
Eve online probably well over 15k hours logged actual playtime closer to 10k lots of idle time. Still the most fun I've had in a game and has helped me be more comfortable talking to strangers and lead people IRL
Satisfactory with 752 hours. No mods, either. Most recently is Project Zomboid with ~123 hours.
I've got nearly 800 hours into Cyberpunk2077.
It'll probably be my goto game until its sequel comes put in a decade or so.
About 11k hours of EverQuest, 1999-2005. (I still consider it the best time of my life, too.)
The game with most hours has to be Minecraft. I don't know the exact amount but it has to be at around 4000 hours.
Second is CSGO with 3600 hours
Third is league of legends with around 3000 hours
Followed by Gmod with 900 hours
Fortnite with 600 hours
Fall guys with 500 hours
And after that it doesn't really make sense to list them
I was very addicted to gaming in my youth .
World of Warcraft. In RimWorld, I have over 3000 hours logged. World of Warcraft? Conservatively, I would estimate 10,000. I haven't played since 2016, so I can't check, but that's in line with the /played time across several characters.
About 1200 hours in Destiny 2. My wife and I have about 2000 hours combined in Destiny 2.
I'm afraid to find out how much time I've spent playing League of Legends. Unfortunately the Time Wasted On website only goes back so far, so my stats aren't accurate.
This is actually a good question if I'm answering it entirely based on feels, not actual data.
Biggest game overall, single player plus multiplayer? Halo series. Maybe Destiny 1&2 too.
Biggest PC game? Probably Neverwinter Nights (2002). (This predated Steam, so fuck the statistics anyway.)
Biggest game I'm spending shitloads of time right now? TRAIN SIM WORLD 3.
Kerbal Space Program
I have so many thousands of hours of rocket league across so many platforms at this point.
Worst part about transferring from console to PC was all my playtime data being lost.
An MMO called Mabinogi, but only because it's literally designed to suck as much time and money away from you as possible without you noticing. Steam says I'm nearing 5,000 hours, but more than half my playtime was from before it was on steam, so it's probably closer to 12,000 to 13,000 hours. I haven't even reached the end game yet.
At this point, I don't really play it anymore. I think from now on I need to start avoiding games that are gonna absorb that much of my time for so little progress. Definitely wasn't mentally healthy because I wasn't even enjoying myself a good way in, I was just addicted.
League of Legends. I don't know how many hours I've put into it but I've been playing since pre-Season 5. This season alone I've played around 600 games. It's depressing.
1056h in Team Fortress 2, which is the highest I can verify at least. I'm sure I've put more time in Sims 4 over the decade but with multiple installs of pirated copies I have no way to verify that lol
