I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.

Satisfactory. I’m well past 1,500 hours.
The factory must grow
The factory building genre is way to addictive, I only have like 200 hours as of now in satisfactory, but I must say Spaghetti bases on satisfactory are a work of art
The genre is crack for anyone in any kind of STEM job. Gets even worse if you’ve got ADHD too
Bad enough they stole Factorio’s concept but now we’re stealing the fanbase’s catchphrase too? 😜 /s
Both games are awesome!
Stopped at around 100 hours with Update 7, might have to wait for 1.0 to fully get back in again
Has 1.0 been announced to be close?
I’m guessing before the end of 2023, considering the speed of their updates.
Plenty of time to mess around with other games!
In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That’s over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.
Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.
The above two I don’t regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.
Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.
Edit: Added hours!
Another WoW addict checking in. I was somewhere north of 12,000 hours from release to the end of Wrath with another stint during Classic.
I’ve since quit with no intention of ever returning. Despite how much I loved the game it doesn’t love me back, and it’s better if I don’t play at all.
It was so easy to spend time in early WoW. The community was awesome before all the sharding and LFG/LFR tooling!
It’s undoubtedly WoW for me too, but I don’t know how many hours. I wish there was a way to check without re-subscribing.
If it ever gets added to Xbox Game Pass I’ll probably give it another whirl.
I’m glad I never picked up wow. Its definitely a all or nothing type game.
Factorio - 364h on steam and god only know how many outside Planetary Annihilation: Titans - 332h BeatSaber - 230h
But compared to other gamers …
Dota 2. 7882 hrs
6331 hours here. Maybe one day I will be good in that game.
This is a low ball but I easily have 3000+ hours in FFXIV and Old School Runescape (not combined)
Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?
I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like “Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC”. It was tough :-/

end of A Realm Reborn
Google says that’s roughly 120 hours, oof.
I’ve been playing video games for the last 27 years or so. If a game isn’t starting to be fun in the first few hours it’s usually not worth sticking with it. For example anyone saying “The game starts at max level!” totally missed the point in my opinion, if everything before that is shit, why have it at all?
Btw. if you do slog it through ARR, what happens if you make a new character to play a different class? Do you have to go through it again?
It’s not that ARR is bad, just that Heavensward was such a jump in the quality of both writing and voice acting that it makes ARR look bad in hindsight. And the slog was actually the post-ARR section (ie patch content). It was awful. Largely cleaned up now though. Still long.
If you ever do play, the biggest mistake you can make is to rush to endgame. You’ll burn out. Take it slow, read the dialog, watch the cutscenes, and you’ll have a much better time. It is Final Fantasy after all.
You don’t need to make an alt to play a different class. The game encourages multiclassing and there is an ingame server transfer system so need to make one for other servers either. But yeah if you do make an alt you need to go through it all again.
The good news is that you don’t have to make a new character to play different classes or jobs—you can play every job on one character, so if you don’t have any intentions of starting an alt, you only have to put up with that ARR slog once.
Imo, the worst part of ARR is a particular quest you have to do about halfway through. It just kills the momentum of the storyline. But it does pick up a lot by the end. If you ever do decide to give the game a try, you can play up to lv60 for free (with some limitations), which covers the base game and first expansion (Heavensward).
I’d highly recommend ignoring all side quests and focusing on the main story to get ARR out of the way ASAP. After that, the game really opens up and Heavensward improves dramatically in terms of pacing. But yeah, I totally hear you about not wanting to stick around with a game that starts off slow. I literally quit FFXIV for years because of ARR until I got the whim to get back into it last year lol.

They’ve been working on redoing and slimming down some of the base game to cut some of the fat. You’re not wrong about the structure. The story itself especially in the expansions 3/4 of them could stand on proud amongst the best of final fantasy stories. MMOs aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, though, I get it.
FFXIV for sure is up there. Probably my most hours in a single game. The first several Monster Hunter games are so similar that I kinda want to count all their hours together. If I did that then the MH franchise MAY surpass XIV. Either one is a hell of an experience and I don’t regret any of it.
I can’t believe the amount of time I have spent playing World of Warcraft. I am a recovering addict.
I would guesstimate over 12000 hours in world of warcraft
For perspective, that’s like 6 years of full-time employment. I am equal parts impressed and horrified.
At the very least, that game has cost you over USD 87,000 in those six years in terms of money not earned. (assuming 12,000 hours of minimum wage work).
Yeah but we work to live, not the other way round. Apart from it being about the only way to get a trickle of money coming in, the time spent digging someone else’s ditch is the wasted time, not the fun times we have from spending the money.
Stardew Valley with about 650 hours
Time well spent.
I’d guesstimate upwards of 5000 hours in Minecraft.
Same, since 2013 :s
4,167 hours of DOTA 2.
Holy shit. Glad I quit.
Final Fantasy XI. On and off over the list twenty years I probably have about 3 to 4 years worth of game time. 2 of those years were put in between 04 to 07.
League of Legends. I don’t know how many hours I’ve put into it but I’ve been playing since pre-Season 5. This season alone I’ve played around 600 games. It’s depressing.
Same on league, started on OG Aatrox release, thousands of hours in too. NGL, still love the game though. Viego is my go to cosplay for cons!
Minecraft. No clue how many though
Diablo 2. Heroes of Might & Magic 3 coming next.
I might have more hours @ World of Warcraft, but that’s outright drug and wasn’t played for most of time voluntarily.
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?
