Terraria is the easy pick for me. I believe the only game that comes even close to the amount of hours I have in it would be Minecraft. I doubt I need to say much about this game, so I'll leave it at 3 words: near infinite replayability.

Melvor Idle is an amazing game if you like the "idle" in idle games. And if you like the idea of leveling up a multitude of different skills like in RuneScape but don't like the idea of walking back to a town every time you've chopped down 12 trees, Melvor Idle has you covered. It's a long grind but I had fun the whole way. I've 100%'d it and all the DLCs and still love playing it.

Cassette Beasts... I'm genuinely surprised I haven't seen this game mentioned here. An absolutely amazing creature collector with a very unique twist on things, a great story, beautiful pixel art, and hands down the best game soundtrack I've ever heard.

Melvor Idle is a great call. The base game is a solid idle game and there's a load of mods too.

I did a HCCO12B (Hardcore combat only, 12 bank slots only) run when the game first released.

Reinstalled the game yesterday and started another HCCO run using the new mod, it adds some QoL and tweaks.

My only negative about it is that when playing normally, I always feel like there's a perfect/optimal strategy and I should figure it out before playing.

Got up to the god dungeons in HCCO (never did 12B), dog tripped over my headset during a fight, I looked up and I was dead. That one hurt lol.

It's still on my plans to try again at some point, maybe when the upcoming third DLC comes out.
