EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours

My numbers seem low compared to a lot of people here, but I also own almost 4,000 games on Steam, so I don't spend tons of time on a single game.

Also, here are my stats for 2024:

I have over 400 hours on Rust which is just 6 months after playing the first time. But there are players with over 10,000 hours in this game.

Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the XCOM games. Installed 2 recently and having almost as much fun as the first time (this is like the 10th).

I’ve tried Risk of Rain 2 a few times. Like the comment I left about Rim World below, it just doesn’t click with me and I love shooters. Wondering what I’m missing that everyone else sees.

Wurm Online must have been the one I sunk the most time into. Hey! Thanks for reminding me Planetside 2 exists!

Your mother (and I) play Counter-Strike 1.6

On Steam... CS2 + CS:GO is probably at the top. I used to compete in league play. Practice, scrims, and matches and all that.

2nd is CS:S despite my last real session being 12 years ago, but that may be soon toppled by Elden Ring or 7 Days to Die.

Who knows how much time I've spent in LoL or WoW but I'm sure it's in the "several thousand hours" magnitude for each.

4000hrs in Dayz. No game like Dayz has ever been able to give me the same adrenaline rush, it's just so intense.

Don't have a number for it since I have it on itch.io, but I've put a lot of time into Celeste. Beating everything twice (including b-sides, c-sides, and farewell) took a while, but I've also put a bunch of time into the amazing mods it has, like Strawberry Jam and Glyph.

The Long Dark, I start a new sandbox every winter. 650+ hrs. I have other games I played for much longer but haven’t played them lately.

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.

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.

Resonite :3

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).

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.

Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af

I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships

In roughly chronological order: Doom (who knows how many hours), Quake\Quake Team Fortress Mod (countless hours), Diablo\Diablo 2 (countless hours), Quake 2 (hundreds of hours), Quake 3 (thousands of hours), CounterStrike Mod (thousands of hours), Day of Defeat Mod, CS 1.6, Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress 2 (thousands of hours), World of Warcraft (years of play time), ARK: Survival Evolved (1000+), Day Z mod (1000+), Day Z (standalone, 1000+) 35 years of gaming.. I'm sure I'm missing stuff, I'm not even including consoles.

Minecraft.

I used to have about 4000 hours logged in tf2 and counter strike source, but they dropped thier playtime database at some point since then 😅 so now my top one is rocket league at around 600 hours

Stardew Valley: 421 Soace Rangers HD: 375 Cities Skylines: 363

Felt like more at the time, for all three. Guess I didn't used to game as much as I do now. I've owned X4 for two weeks and I'm at 107 hours, so it's on pace to smash those numbers.
