I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.
I've been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I'm curious what Lemmy plays the most.
4000hrs in Dayz. No game like Dayz has ever been able to give me the same adrenaline rush, it's just so intense.
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).
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.
I have but one question.
Do you wear spandex, OP?
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.
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.
Your mother (and I) play Counter-Strike 1.6
Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.
skyrim, 307 hours
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.
On Steam*:
Not counting idle games, which have an artificially inflated playtime:
*Not counting games on other platforms (minecraft) or games obtained through extralegal means (spacewar!)
**Also most recently played
EverQuest has about four years sunk into it back in 99. If we're talking steam, it's probably TF2 with about 1400 hours
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
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.
Assetto Corsa (in VR). Civilization was mostly my ex-wife. eFootball PES is kind of a weird one, but it has really great mods that have now been spun off into a totally free singleplayer game called SP Football Life.
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:
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.
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:
I've played a little bit of Warframe...
Blockland... played a lot, for years. Before Minecraft, before it came to steam. It turned me onto Tribes.
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.
