I don't know how much time I've spent in Minecraft, but it's probably over 1000 hours.

Second place certainly goes to LoL. They reset the statistics at some point but my guess is also close to 1000 (at some point I had like 700 and kept playing for a while).

I don't play either of those anymore though.

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can't play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don't get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it's much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!

Either skyrim or oblivion. probably Oblivion. It's the most immersive game world I've encountered. Emminently replayable.

Over 750 hours in Total War: Warhammer II.

Probably 2,000 or so in Guild Wars 2.

~800 hours into PAYDAY 2

~1800 hours in various sim racing games, assetto corsa, project cars 2, dirt rally/DR2, rFactor2.

And some ~300 hours in Stationeers

I have 1000+ hours in Forza Horizon 4 & 5, mainly due to weekly FOMO (new car every Thursday).

totally accurate battle simulator, i have a really strong morbid fascination ngl

Haven't checked in a while but I think my personal record is 1400+ hrs in Europa Universalis IV.

Path of Exile. It literally captures you once you take a grasp on game mechanics and find an interesting character build.

Oh boy, theres a lot to talk about chatacter building.

Theres no ARPG game in the market with such complexity in planning your character. Dopamine hits when you reach your build's peak and while you chase for milestones, like upgrading gear, leveling, bossing, etc. Leagues are breath of fresh air, introducing expansions + new content, also possibility to start a fresh character in fresh ladder & economy.

Playing PoE with pals in a guild and sharing milestones, moments, items & currency, helping each other with progression sucks you even further in.

Its so addictive that I've had to stop playing it, because it takes so much of your time. But I don't regret playing it. Good times.

My sister has more than 1000+ h in Sims 4

Breath of the Wild. I put about 300 hours into it.

EverQuest 1. Diablo 1,2,and 3. Cities skylines. Forgot about terraria.

World of warcraft. Still true. I only played up through Crusade even. But it ate literally dozens of days of my life. I wouldn't say I regret that, as it was a learning experience for me. But I would definitely not have played wow if I could go back.

Continuum. I have more than 10 thousand hours on my main account, 3 thousand more on alts I do not have access anymore. Most of the time was afk or just being online since it had a chat and very lightweight. You can see top players by usage time on the trenchwars server website.

Microsoft flight simulator thanks to slow internet and 200gb updates every time I play.

Stellaris almost 600 hours and Cities Skylines, around 400 h. Damn!

Looking at 600+ hours in Rimworld, and probably even more in Dwarf Fortress but 200+ since the Steam release, it wasn't tracked before.

I probably have as many hours in minecraft as all other games combined. As a kid is was basically the only game i played

Crudader Kings 2 at 1400 hours and Total War Warhammer II and I at 800 hours

hotline Miami, katana zero, ultra kill.

That would be Elden Ring. Spent 200+ hours on that game (might sound like rookie numbers but that was my first open world game, was just a casual gamer before that).

Minecraft. 2.5 kilo hours

Diablo 2 from launch, I won't even guess the hours because it's over 10k easy and that's just not good. Path of Exile says 4k+ hours as well. I'm an old fart though.

AI (Alien Isolation)

Easily 10k hours throughout the Diablo series.

Dunno if counts as a game really.. But about 4k hrs of VRChat - love the place and the friends I made there!
