Kerbal space program

I have over 1500 cumulative hours invested in No Man's Sky and Minecraft respectively. I am a casual gamer. I started playing Minecraft in 2012 and NMS in 2017.

Dota 2 around 3500 hours. Rust 1100 hours. Monster Hunter World 400 hours. Binding of Isaac 350 hours.

Old-school RuneScape, 12k hours, another 6k hours on rs3 pre-eoc. Over the course of 21 years.

Talisman

Pokemon, either Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Violet, I would have to look at the Switch itself to compare, but last I looked at either one it was around 400-something hours. Shiny hunting can be a surprisingly cozy time-waster, lol.

That's a though one... there are more games in my library that I haven't played than ones I did.

Maybe Fallout or Neverwinter Nights. Or Silent Storm.

Yes, I'm old. And waiting for my retirement to play all of those I haven't tried yet.

Easily Fallout 4 or No Man's Sky

Everquest by far. Then League. Then Diablo 2. I dont think theres any game that comes close to the total unrecorded amount of hours those 3 games have.

Dayz, 3500hrs and still ticking.

Planetside 2, Arma 3, and X4 Foundations.

For me it has to be either the binding of isaac or noita. It's hard to say since i played tboi on so many devices before i got a PC.

Persona 5 Royal

150 hrs and I'm almost done with it

World of Warcraft, EverQuest, and No man’s Sky

I would love to know for sure. I've put hundreds of hours into Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy X, Morrowind, and probably Halo: Reach too.

R6: Siege at 1800, followed by Terraria at 1100. Terraria is the better game of the two.

Warframe, by a big margin.

Factorio 5k+ atm

Unless we count pokemon, played that to death when I was younger, would be willing to say I have "young person time" amount of hours in the Gameboy versions.

One of the Paradox strategy games by a comfortable margin. It'll be one of the Crusader Kings or Victoria games. I've got a weekly game night with a couple of friends that was originally just CK, but has for a while now been working extremely slowly through a megacampaign. You can take the end of Crusader Kings and make it into a mod for the start of Europa Universalis, then repeat the process into Victoria and then Hearts of Iron. You need to set some rules for yourselves, because an experienced player doesn't need even a third of the CK timeline to demolish all AI threats, but the games are already good roleplaying fodder anyway so you can set rules that play into that. We're currently about three quarters of the way through Victoria

Outside of those, Noita or Deep Rock Galactic. For a while, those plus a podcast were my go-to "zone out brain off" relaxation, so the hours racked up

It's either the Sims or Animal Crossing.

Top 3:

Escape from Tarkov: 14600h

Elite Dangerous: 3600h

The Division 2: 3200h

Sigh... Rust

Craft the world, Valorant and AoE3

Elden Ring and StarCraft2

Star Citizen (no joke, I have put more than 2000h in the Alpha...). But because some people may say Star Citizen is not a game (I'm not agree with that statement), the second game I have played the most is warframe (1500h)

Maplestory and Warcraft 3 almost certainly hold the first two places from an age gone by, but I don't have numbers for those.

For games that I do have numbers for, Anno 1800, Stardew, and Total War Warhammer (especially if you combine the trilogy).

I quit a couple years ago for good, but my main account on RuneScape was created in classic as a kid. I had about a year and a half of PLAY time on the account, mind you the vast majority of that was back when you had the hard 5 minute afk timer, so that was at least moderately active play. Then if you add my ironman account I have nearly 1/15th of my whole life logged into RuneScape. I don't regret it, my whole friend group as an adult stem from those friendships I made online during my young teen years. However, as a modern game as much as I have a place for it in my heart, I found I had more of a negative addictive relationship with it. Maybe I always did, but I didn't feel a negative mental effect at a young age.

I have over 1k hours in The Long Dark and 7 days to die. Around 500 in space engineers, darkest dungeon, binding of Isaac, enter the gungeon, grim dawn, and satisfactory. ~300 hours in ToME4 and Caves of qud each. That's just steam stuff though, there are a lot of games that I know are up there that aren't on steam.

I'm sure I have at least similar numbers to 500-1k if not much higher in Diablo 2-3, and I'm sure more than a few thousand in wow though I lost my og account after wotlk because I forgot the details when I quit so I'm really not sure.

XCOM: War of the Chosen

Overwatch (gave up on blizzard a couple of years ago though)

Probably Warcraft Rumble.

Final Fantasy 6, because I have played through it on SNES, PS1, Rom, then SNES again.... oh, and there's 500 hours in Slay The Spire. Maybe also Civ 3.

Skyrim and Satisfactory.

Terraria. I don’t know why but the progression in the game feels so damn addicting. Mods add onto it by alot too

Monster Hunter World. I usually stop playing games after I roll the credits, but I have been addicted to min/maxing in that series since Tri.

Dark Age of Camelot. 6000 hours on my main character, and I had more or less ten characters… I’ll never beat that amount of dedication into a game.
