Do you count AFK time?

If not, Factorio, with ~500 hours active time.

If so, Clicker Heroes, with 2900 hours, but only about 50 of those were not AFK.

Probably Minecraft

Team fortress 2 for me

Factorio at about 600 hours. The factory must grow.

WoW by a long shot. I’m guessing around 9k hours in total. I’ve mostly quit by now due to time constraints, but I recognize that when I do play, I neglect lots of other things.

Warframe. The grind sucked me in hard. Was a lot of fun too. I have accumulated 3300 hours.

EVE Online... I have at least a thousand hours in that game. I haven't played in years, but no game since have satisfied the same depth of mechanics and unique community.

Eve Online but a lot of it just spent 'station spinning'.. Other than that Arma 3 and Dark Souls 3.

Destiny 2, although I played for like a year total and stopped playing in 2020

I jump around games quite a lot and don't generally stick with one for tons of hours -- but I think Stardew Valley with over 200hrs is probably my highest. That game can definitely be addicting.

I haven't played it in a year, but I do have 1928 hours in Europa Universalis IV.

This is going to sound weird to the Lemmy crowd I'm sure, but Madden NFL 08 on the GameCube/Dolphin

Fallout 4

No Man's Sky, easy

1. Dwarf fortress
2. Nethack
3. Factorio

Team Fortress 2, with over 2100 hours logged. More back on the Xbox 360 copy and when it was free during the Mac Update.

Was a lurker on Reddit, want to contribute more on Lemmy. This seems like a nice easy post to start.

My top 5 starting with most hours:

1. Fallout 4 + FO4 VR
2. Fallout NV
3. Civ 5
4. Rocket League
5. Fallout 3

If we just talk about the last few years:

• 0 A.D has been very fun, although I play offline because I'm casual af :) Has all the things I liked about Age of Empires and more, and I've been building from source so it gets improvements every week.
• Xonotic has had an excellent community whenever I've gone online, so can recommend.
• Mindustry is a blast

There is a soft spot in my heart for SuperTuxKart too, despite the current project leadership.

Easily:

• Rocket League: > 1700 Hours. (Still ranked Diamond though, lol)
• Team Fortress 2 / Left 4 Dead 1 & 2: sub-1000 hours, each.
• Subspace/Continuum: over 1000 hours for sure, but nobody counted. Tried jumping back in the game just for fun, i'm back to square one "what's the button to attach?". I was a Trench Wars/Extreme Games pub guy.

EDIT: First post in a two years-old lurking account. Hello, world!

I got 12750 hours on my Old School RuneScape ironman, probably another 10000-15000 hours across all my other accounts the past 20 years :P then I have good 5000 hours on CSGO and 2500 in Final Fantasy 14 online.

Probably Morrowind at this point. Lately I've been doing a new modded save with Ashfall to give a new and ever-present twist to the core gameplay. Can't believe stuff like it still comes out for a game from 2002.

1. SMITE
2. Guild Wars
3. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
4. Overwatch

I just hit the max (999 hours, 59 minutes) in yo-kai 3 for 3ds a few days ago.

The Sims 4 by a quite substantial margin. It's not what I would call my favourite game. But it is one that I come back to again and again and again.

The Binding of Isaac, roguelikes are inherently replayable and mods make it even moreso

I have like 137 days in GTA Online and I’ve barely played it in like 2 years

It will probably always be World of Warcraft. No time these days to match that on a single game, not by a long shot.

I think its Dragon's Dogma at this point.

procrastination and Minecraft

Persona 5, including Royal. Across PS3, PS4/5, and PC, I think my collective time spent playing the game is 1000+ hours. I have no life and need to touch grass.

DotA 2. It's a prison you can never escape from.

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.

Unreal tournament 99. Probably more than 10,000 hours. I used to play it so so much. Nothing else even comes close

Skyrim. There is a distinct lack of Skyrim in here. I find this odd...

Enemy Engaged series, I had about 800 on one save game at one point, but I've had many new ones since then.

Quake 3 Arena, uncountable. Possibly thousands.

GTA Online on PS3 about 1000 I think.

Destiny... I dunno but a lot (I have platinum), possibly also over a 1000.

GTA IV, played it through about 10 times so possibly 300-500.

GTAV if you count the time spent AFK grinding virtual cash... (1200hrs total)

Age of Empires 2 DE for most active time. (532hrs, plus an additional 216hrs with HD version)

Per Steam: 1138 hours in New World, which is surprising only because I thought No Man's Sky was going to crush it. Apparently not! Only 784 hours there, but since I've returned to it as my game of choice lately, there's room to grow.

[edit] oh man, I forgot Pokémon Go. I can't figure out how to get hours on there but probably a bunch.

Steam claims it is Terraria with 118h, followed by Satisfactory with 78 and Tabletop Simulator with 66. But I've also sunk around 150 into Breath of the Wild on the Switch. And I have no idea about how many I got together playing WoW from 2004 until 2005 before I pulled the plug on it due to conflicts with my studies, but I'm pretty sure it's more than that 😬

Still a complete newbie with my 2900 hours in RimWorld.

My top three according to steam are:

1. Stellaris with 1027 hours
2. Rimworld with 716 hours
3. Hunt: Showdown with 525 Hours

Although the game I've played the most over all my years and outside of steam is definitely Deus Ex. I've put a lot of time into it exploring the single player, playing the multiplayer, and messing around with mods since it came out in 2001. The same would go for Unreal Tournament 2004 which I easily had over a thousand hours in back in high school, before steam was a thing.
