I saw this question asked in another gaming community and thought it might be a good discussion here too.
My personal stats:
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’d love to see what this community plays the most.
PS: to all who celebrate, merry Christmas, and I hope it was a lovely day.
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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.
Between 10,000 and 20,000 in minecraft, mostly modpacks.
Quick name every mod.
Which modpacks you enjoy the most? I usually go for modpacks that have some type of end goal through questing so it’s something I can guide to get too.
Well over the years my tastes have changed. Playing as much as I do, I now find the most satisfaction from hardcore questing packs like gregtech new horizons, monifactory, and one I’m really looking forward to that is coming out soon is “Journey across the abyss” a sequel to journey into the abyss. I know the person making it as well and have been drip fed juicy details over the last year. It’s a hardcore questing pack based in the aether with tons of custom bosses.
It also happens that my job directly relates to minecraft so that adds to my playtime as well haha.
Factorio 6000+ hours, heavily modded Minecraft probably between these two, rimworld 1400 hours.
I have yet beaten Factorio (satire). The factory must grow.
Rimworld, around 3590 All the civs… Several thousand
Satisfactory 1500 hrs
Hard to know for sure because its been so long and over several accounts/platforms but probably Minecraft. Then Skyrim if you include all versions. Just from steam though its Path of Exile at 700 hours and Binding of Isaac at 575. Those are rookie numbers though compared to the other two.
Terraria
Grim Dawn
Skyrim
Stardew
Borderlands
But this is just steam, doesn’t include all the time I’ve spent running the shadows (Shadowrun on Sega).
If you want to go waaaay back before there was even time tracking, it would no doubt be Maplestory and Warcraft 3.
For games I can provide concrete numbers for, it’s Anno 1800 at nearly 500 hours, Stardew Valley at over 400, and Rocket League at nearly 300.
Terraria my only tracked game over 1000 hours and its still not at 2k. Maybe I’ll get there after the next final update.
Across different systems, probably Chronotrigger… Maybe civ 1. Not bloody 3, not bloody 5, 1.
Around 2,000hrs in tf2 though my best guess is double that in Minecraft over the years
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…
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.
Your hours in Destiny 2 and my hours in Skyrim are the same. Neat!
My top 10 on Steam:
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.
