The Binding of Isaac. Its hard to tell exactly, but I have about 600 hours across the versions on steam. I also have a handful of hours on 3ds and a handful of hours on Switch.
Its just a game I can keep coming back to. Every time its something a little bit different. The skill ceiling is high. The moment to moment gameplay is great. I do wish it was a touch less scatalogical just so it would be an easier recommend to others.
The Sims 3 and it's not even close. Currently displays ~500 hours but I've had to reinstall a couple times, it's actually closer to 1500
Elite, by far. Though that was long a ago. Elite isn't the game it used to be. :(
It's Elite for me as well (though Skyrim is a close second). I'm thinking of taking a peek back in at some point, but it doesn't really have the same appeal anymore.
Hast to be World of Warcraft + Classic. I don't have exact numbers but the last time I tallied it all up it was well beyond 2.5k hours.
Elder Scrolls Online.
Understandably not everyone's favorite game. But unlike most MMO's I've played, the game has a fun (enough) game play loop, with the best dungeons I've ever seen. Creative, dynamic bosses.
Fallout New Vegas for sure. On Steam I have 467 hours logged and I played probably another 150 hours on Xbox 360 back in the day. If it wasn't so hard getting Vortex working on Linux I'd be starting another 30+ hour save today.
After that is Project Zomboid with 460 hours but I feel that's less shocking in a sandbox game.
For me it was Final Fantasy Tactics (PSone). 300+ hours. All my characters were Lvl 99 and Job level 8 in almost all jobs. I remember seeing the "character" bios and prince Orinas (he was 1 year at the game's begining) was around 15~16 years old.
WoW, LoL, and Kerbal. The only one I don't regret the time with is Kerbal lol
Currently? None, don't have time; :(.
All-time? Starcraft. That wasn't a game to me. That was a philosophy of life back in the day when it was still all the rage in South Korea.
I'm super excited for immortal: gates of pyre
Seems to take all the good ideas from StarCraft and refine them.
Garry's Mod, I'm just shy of 6k hours.
Of all time, probably STALKER Call Of Pripyat.
The original STALKER game was a huge deal for me in gaming, and I played it until Call Of Pripyat came out and was improved in so many ways that I wanted. One of my earliest ever games was Fallout 1, and the STALKER games really captured the oppressive and bleak survival and horror elements from that game that I didn't really feel in Fallout 3 or FNV (I like those games, but they are very different vibes than Fallout 1). STALKER games are places where you really aren't special and the open world can be a truly scary place.
It's probably only 500-1k hours, but Minecraft; on PC, Xbox, switch, android phone, iPad with Xbox controller, solo, modded , the main bulk on Nintendo switch with friends or internet strangers (getting new updates to the nether was really fun to explore but haven't played a whole heap recently) [ I was born in 1988]
probably Terraria and Mount&Blade
Doom, then Halo on xbox, now Minecraft on PC
DayZ, so much fun to be had.
Probably Minecraft, if you count modded instances of.
Would be Minecraft for sure then GTA5 and speedrunners
The Binding of Isaac, roguelikes are inherently replayable and mods make it even moreso
500 hours in Hollow Knight thanks to the randomizer and other amazing mods.
Currently Elden Ring. I suspect this will be replaced by Assetto Corsa Competitzione in the future.
Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer. For me still the best horde mode and lots of fun.
World of warcraft by a wide margin
According to Steam it's Path of Exile (610 hours on Steam, probably 400 on standalone client Id reckon) followed by FFXIV (500 hours on Steam, probably 200 on standalone from ARR launch)
Overall it's probably Phantasy Star Online -- between GameCube, PSOv2 PC and Blue Burst I've probably lost 4000 hours.
Also Street Fighter IV but that's not trackable since my gameplay is split between multiple consoles, offlines at friend houses and time at locals and tournaments.
If I had to guess I've got probably 2,000 hours in SFIV.
Weirdly, Battlefield 4. It was the only game I was very good at (top 1000 for skill), and since then the BF games have been less inspiring - also it seems as I get older there's less time I can commit to playing games.
