The game in my Steam library with the most hours played is…PAYDAY 2.
But I didn’t actually play a thousand hours of it. In the late 2010s, the heat in my condo barely worked and our self-managed association refused to acknowledge it because “nobody else [was] having problems with their heat.” I had all the windows plasticed up with heavy blankets literally nailed to the wall. I had to abandon the living room and bedroom entirely. I emptied the smallest room (12x10) and moved my mattress and desk in there…In addition to the playpen for my two rabbits that took up the rest of the free space.
You might be wondering what that has to do with PAYDAY 2. Well…the game revved up my video card to max on the main menu so my PC became a supplementary heat source at night…
Good times. Thanks, PAYDAY devs!
ETA: In the spring, the guy who handled yardwork noticed the flowerbed was kind of sinking on one side of the building. That’s when they discovered a leak in the radiator line…small enough that 11 units didn’t notice but big enough for the water pressure to not reach the farthest unit from the boiler…the unit I owned…
Aren’t space heaters pretty cheap? Probably didn’t need to add wear and tear to your GPU.
I had a space heater in there, too. It was not enough.
I was gonna check my Steam library for the numbers, but the real answer probably is Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone.
The only game on my phone! Great game.
Probably not nearly close to top hours though. I haven’t even beaten it once yet.
You can beat it??
It took me 48 attempts to beat it the first time. After that it was like every five to ten tries.
25 is the lowest floor. after that, you can either choose to end the run or do an ascension
Great game, it and the original Pixel Dungeon were my most played phone games for years.
Another high quality mobile experience I can’t recommend enough is Slice & Dice. Gameplay is quite different from Pixel Dungeon, but it’s basically replaced all other phone games for me. Been playing it almost continuously now for the past 3 years.
When I was a teen I played WoW from vanilla through Cata… Had over a full year of in game /played time on just my main.
…and I made a lot of alts.
100% full-blown addicted.
Blizzard is actually the one example of enshittification that I can actually be thankful for - I didn’t really ever quit; they just stopped supplying my drug of choice. They definitely had the power to keep me enthralled, but instead shifted to a younger and younger target audience as I was ofc aging the opposite direction.
The Kung-Fu-Panda xpac trailer was finally my cue to accept that my dealer wasn’t going to provide that fix anymore.
Then I
started making healthy life decisionsdiscovered Ark >_<Edit - …Ark owned my life for a bit, too:
Rimworld 2300 hours or so
10,000 hours: World of Warcraft
2,500 hours: Diablo 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim
1,000 hours: Zelda BOTW and TOTK, Fallout 3 and NV, Diablo 2, Starcraft 2, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Pillars of Eternity, Baldur’s Gate 1
Grindy first person exploration type stuff really vibes with my inner magpie I guess
Dude! How on earth… maybe pick up writing, the last sentence was fire.
Steam says my top 3, in order, are ARMA3 (though more than half of that has to be with the game minimized as I work on scripts for mods), Team Fortress 2, and Rocket League. All have over 2000 hours, Arma 3 has slightly over 3k.
However, from 1997 to 2007 (literally haven’t played it since The Orange Box released), I was playing Ultima Online for at least 8 hours a day, every day. So if that kept track of my play time, it would likely be numero uno. Diablo 2 and EverQuest would be right behind it.
the binding of isaac: rebirth. steam claims ~800 hours, but with the time I played offline, its probably closer to 1300-1400
I finally picked up Repentance after putting around 300 hours into Antibirth. I’m completely addicted again. Jacob & Esau is such a struggle for me
Repentance was such a huge expansion. And it’s getting updated again shortly!
My list of multiple hundreds/thousands of hours include, in no particular order;
- Minecraft (unknown, been playing since browser alpha demo)
- Skyrim (600)
- Rocket League (4000)
- Fall Guys (1500)
- Stardew Valley (unknown, play multiple saves a year on different platforms)
- Vampire Survivors (400)
- No Man’s Sky (1200)
I’ve just about got 2,000 hours in Warframe. I tend to play a lot of different games so it’s hard to get big numbers in any one game.
I have 3,400 hours in Space Engineers.
About 1,500 hours in FFXIV, 1,400 hours in DayZ, and 1,300 hours in 7 Days To Die.
Then 900 hours in Empyrion Galactic Survival, 500 hours in Baldurs Gate 3, and 300 hours in Fallout 4.
The rest are well below 200.
TF2, Diablo II, and Ragnarok Online. 1k-2k+ hours each.
Factorio.
Factorio
Hard to say, but I would think Minecraft (over the last decade) then Factorio. If we’re factoring in games from when I was younger then it’s certainly COD followed by Halo then Gran Turismo.
Team Fortress 2
Kerbal Space program (1800.8) DCS world (1172.2) Witcher 3 (1131.5) Sims 4 (838.2) Stardew Valley (579.3)
I just wish ksp2 wasn’t a massive flop and I eagerly await KSA.
