here are my timesinks.
there are slight caveats to that data. first of all, i actually have more time spent within Terraria, since i have about 144 hours recorded in tModLoader.
and second of all, i do estimate about 250 hours spent in Fallout: New Vegas as well. but since i own it on GOG and not Steam, i do not know for sure.
Rocket League over a thousand, then Crusader Kings III about 600, then CS 1.6 and Monster Hunter World with 400.
CS 1.6 must‘ve started logging those stats after my „prime“ though, I basically played nothing else way back when lol
Probably most hours I've spend where with Conquer Online back in the days before mysteryboxes where introduced. After that probably puzzle and dragons.
Luckily after those games I learned to question my time spent in these games. (Basically just one day after grinding tower of gods for umpteenth time to spend my 1k stamina/energy, I asked myself wtf am I doing with my life, was I having fun?)
After that my most played games have been Grim dawn, Sacred2, Monster hunter world, No Man sky, Incredible adventures of van helsing then various 2d fighters like Blazblue, undernight inbirth and Granblue fantasy versus that I play on locals.
Uh oh I have 517 hours in Planetside 2. That's only counting Steam game time, and not using the standalone client before I played on Steam or time spent in the closed beta.
I have almost 1,000 hours in Final Fantasy XIV and I have only finished the main game and first expansion. Although I mainly played before the first expansion came out and got back into it in 2023.
Other games include: World of Tanks Blitz with 755 hours on Steam, not counting mobile; Lord of the Rings Online with 714 on Steam, not counting standalone client before it was on Steam; Elite Dangerous with 687 hours; Star Wars The Old Republic with 572 hours on Steam, not counting the standalone client before it was on Steam; Elden Ring with 360 hours; Mount & Blade Bannerlord with 180 hours.
Honorable mention: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on original XBox. I don't know how many hours I sunk into that, but it was a favorite of mine.
According to Steam:
- Rocket League: 2038 hours
- GTA V: 260 hours
- Project Cars 2: 234 hours
I haven't seriously played any of them over the last year though. RL has been run into the ground by greed. GTA V was always greedy, but was still some fun to fck around in. However it isn't really relevant anymore. PC2 was replaced for me by Assetto Corsa (5th place, 170 hours) which has great mods and better physics.
Also, this is only Steam. Combining Steam and Uplay numbers, Trackmania 2020 probably 2nd place with just over 300 hours. And LoL may also be top 3 even though I haven't played in years. Likewise Beyond All Reason may be getting close to the top 3, but I have no way of knowing since it doesn't track the playtime afaik.
Almost 5k hours of FFXIV, nothing else I can check even comes close (LoL from my teenage years might win, but who knows).
somehow skyrim still reigns far above all my other games in the sheer number of hours i put into it (1200h), teenage escapism really picked Tamriel as my digital safe space huh, second highest is terraria with 520h
i bet if my time spent across the various versions and mod packs of Minecraft was counted it would surpass both, but alas, no counter for that (though just adding all my wynncraft characters' time together it's over 150h)
Path of Exile and Counterstrike both are over 1000 hours for me.
Wow around 3k hours, swtor 1.5k, dcs world 2k, counter strike source 1.5k, arma 3 900, space engineers 850 hours and san andreas multiplayer around 700
I must prelude my statement with two facts of life: I was meant to be an MMO player, and controller is my way of doing it (yes, I know K+M is technically better, bite me)
That out of the way, 3667 hours in FFXIV
Path of Exile - 1000+ hours
I wish I could filter out idle and clicker games. My biggies are Factorio and KSP for non-idle games. Several thousand hours in each.
For me it's 7 Days to Die, at 1580 hrs.
I've played a little bit of Warframe...
Hearts of Iron 4 at 1200 hours, Crusader Kings 2 at 1000 hours, Terraria at 600, Team Fortress 2 at 300 hours.
Also Rimworld should be somewhere at the 500 mark, but a lot of my hours weren't recorded on Steam (I have bought the game now though).
2k in tf2
Best war themed hat simulator on the market
Over 700 hours in Skyrim. I don't know how that happened as it's not my usual game type. I usually go for shooters like Half-life or Serious Sam,b or puzzles like Portal or Talos Principle.
Minecraft and some of the Touhou games (I haven't been keeping up with the newer ones). I don't have those getting time tracked on Steam. Stardew Valley is the next most-played, and my highest played on Steam.
I also sank SO MUCH time into Nintendogs as a kid I think it is worth a mention.
If idle games count, PokéClicker.
Definitely Minecraft. I don't play it much anymore but when it was a kid I used to play it all the time.
Probably being paying that game on and off for 15 years. I have to save a pocket money in order to buy it, I think it was about £12, no I have a mortgage.
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 have like 2500 hours in destiny 2. ☹️
Add ~1800 hours of LoL and ~800 hours of Minecraft
I have not touched LoL and TF2 for years, and only play dota and Warframe sporadically now. I'd still recommend all of them except LoL though.
Spelunky 1 and Spelunky 2 by far. 1000+ hours in each I still never got to the Sunken City :-(
Beyond that: Dwarf Fortress, Road Rash/Road Redemption, Oblivion, The Halos (1-3)
Can't access my time spent right now, but between Warframe and idle/incremental games, THOUSANDS of hours.
Does that count as cheating?
NGU Idle, almost 4k. Warframe, about 2300 roughly.
(I lied about not having access.)
No idea what Steam has to say, but I've played more games for longer than Steam has been around, so here's a guess of mine in no particular order:
- Skyrim
- Morrowind
- Fallout (3, NV, 4, London combined)
- Ultima II
- Doom II
- Grim Fandango
Minecraft.
Resonite :3
Probably Diablo 2 back in the day. No idea how much hours were sunk into that.
