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.
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.
According to Steam:
Monster Hunter Rise, 754 hours
Back 4 Blood, 616 hours
Monster Hunter: World, 581 hours
Cyberpunk 2077, 470 hours
Hitman 3, 288 hours
- Overwatch: 964 hours, still Bronze π₯
- Elite Dangerous: 823 hours
- Eve Online: 504 hours, all in 2020
- Portal 2: 195 hours *Team Fortress 2: 143 hours
Honorable mention: Deep Rock Galactic with 135 hours in the past 4 months since I got the game.
Edit: formatting.
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.
Kerbal Space Program
Please send help.
Holy shit dude. At 8 hours a day, that's over 3 years of full time play! How do you support yourself?
Slay the Spire 187 hrs and counting. No where near the time I see others have put into single games.
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.
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
Honestly? Skyrim. Played it a few times on different platforms. Different builds, different experiences.
Team Fortress 2. About 3000 hours and I haven't played it in years, I was addicted.
Rocket League has to be at the top along with Forza. Driving aimlessly without burning fuel in scenic views takes the chart
Tabletop Simulator. In 2020 my weekly gaming group couldnβt meet anymore, until we discovered that solution. We still meet in person occasionally but we have been playing every week online. Iβm genuinely not sure how I would have gotten through the lockdowns without it.
Kind of difficult since aside steam I have no clue on how many hours I have spent, especially for console games.
That aside, my most played game in steam are:
- melvor idle with 1500 hours (it's an idle to be fair, kind of runescape but it's only a UI, you leave it open farming)
- factorio at 700 hours (the entirety of the factory building genre is pure crack)
- risk of rain 2 at 400 hours (it's the perfect sequel and a damn fun roguelike where you stack items until your pc breaks)
Binding of Isaac, over 1170 hrs.
Have I seen everything or am I any good at it? Hell no.
I must say, there are a surprising amount of factorio players on this threat, glad to see that!
No Man's Sky. I think I'm around 800 hours on that one
Elder Scrolls Online, by far
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
Stellaris
War Thunder. Well over 2000 hours across two platforms. I regret every minute and every penny spent.
Easily Rocket League. I think Iβm somewhere around 2,000 hours at the moment.
Hard to say, I've been on an OpenTTD (since Transport Tycoon), Dwarf Fortress (since .31), Minecraft (since Tekkit) and Factorio (since .11) loop for several decades now, with 1000s of hours in each. I tend to play one at a time, currently doing Enigmatica 6 Expert.
I would have to say itβs between:
- Halo 2/3
- Cod (so many)
- Minecraft
- Factorio - 180 hours
Minecraft was before Factorio and not sure how many hours. Iβm sure a lot more than Factorio and the others were when I was younger and particularly Halo I was the best person around my circle by a mile, like levelling up to 50 with a new account in less than 15 games so I must have played for years m
Before the community died off I had put just under 20,000 hours into Subspace / Continuum (mostly on EG). No, that's not a typo. I learned what addiction looks like as I grew older.
Between that, NexusTK, The Realm and an unhealthy obsession with SNES JRPGs I don't know how I managed to make it through grade / high school...
If we count map editors then most likely C&C: Generals: Zero Hour or ARMA 3.
If we don't could editors then probably Halo 3 or MW2, maybe Stellaris.
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.
Minecraft Factorio EVE: Online Cs:go LoL
Risk of Rain 2, man. My absolute favorite game of all time.
Dead By Daylight has consumed more of my life than any other game at 1600 hours (since 2018), and thatβs still rookie territory. Iβve never been able to commit to a game for very long, maybe 40-80 hours max and that was only two or three games in my life. DBD just has a hold on me.
