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.

Team fortress 2 for me

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

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

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.

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

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.

1. Dwarf fortress
2. Nethack
3. Factorio

Factorio at about 600 hours. The factory must grow.

Seems like it's TF2, but I haven't touched it in years. TF2, Garry's Mod, and Payday 2 were probably the only games I played for most of my pre-teen years, but nowadays I've been dipping my toes in a bunch of different stuff, even if it's not for very long. The one with the most recently would probably be Yakuza: Like a Dragon, by virtue of being crazy long.

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

No Man's Sky, easy

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.

Fallout 4

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

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.

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.

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

It’s a toss-up between Richard Burns Rally and Dirt Rally 2. I’ve played a ton of DR2 over the years but since I started playing RBR in 2004 when it came out, it’s quite possible that all my return visits to it add up to more hours overall still…

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. Hello, world!

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.

Minecraft played it since I was a kid, too bad it never tracked any playtime, tracked CSGO 2k hours.

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

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 😬

I think its Dragon's Dogma at this point.

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

Steam shows my most hours are in Planetside 2, I did play almost daily for a couple years with a good outfit.

Second most hours is Arma 3, tons of time spent there in single and multiplayer. Recently got back into it with the "JMs Of Order and Peace" Star Wars mod and the Dynamic Recon/Combat Ops missions.

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

I can't remember 95% of what I did on EVE Online for the like 3 months I feverously played it, but it's sitting as my highest played game. Though I guess there was a lot of afk mining going on. For actually always active gameplay it's terraria. If I logged minecraft hours, it would probably be up there.

Shoutout to the oddball Graveyard Keeper being in my top 5. It's really not a game with enough content to play 200 hours, but I did it anyways. Finished my...5th? full ending + DLC run a few months ago.

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.

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)

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.

Still a complete newbie with my 2900 hours in RimWorld.

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

Minecraft, there are so very many modpacks out there and i have played a lot of them, not to mention multiplayer servers such as hypixel. Really quite a lot to do there. Probably the second game would be League of Legends. and in third place we have Garry's Mod, each of these games probably with 4000+ hrs each.

Probably Minecraft

Elite, by far. Though that was long a ago. Elite isn't the game it used to be. :(

Untraceable answer, probably World of Warcraft. Between playing TBC and WotLK on release, to revisiting during Legion, and then playing Classic and WotLK Classic I have probably sunk more hours than I would really like to know.

According to Steam my most played game is The Elder Scrolls Online which really surprised me, that's not what I would have guessed. Terraria is second, and that I could have guessed.

Persona 5 for me, next is probably BOTW. I have nothing on you guys though. I seldom play any game over 150 hours. I get tired of it by 80 or so, so I'm doing everything I can to wrap it up shortly after that. I wish I didn't get so tired of a game. I'd save a lot of money if I enjoyed playing them longer.
