Factorio 6000+ hours, heavily modded Minecraft probably between these two, rimworld 1400 hours.

I have yet beaten Factorio (satire). The factory must grow.

My top 10 on Steam:

1. Europa Universalis 4
2. Risk
3. Cities Skylines
4. Magic: Arena
5. Yakuza 3
6. Yakuza 0
7. Yakuza Kiwami 2
8. LEGO Marvel Superheroes (with my kids)
9. FTL
10. 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.

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

Between 10,000 and 20,000 in minecraft, mostly modpacks.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…

Around 2,000hrs in tf2 though my best guess is double that in Minecraft over the years

Rimworld, around 3590 All the civs… Several thousand

Satisfactory 1500 hrs

By far, my longest played game is Destiny 2 with over 5300 active hours. My second is Binding of Isaac, but I don’t have that number offhand.
