KSP. I colonized almost the entire system on chemical rockets alone with bases and ISRU fuel depots orbiting the smaller moons (I’d have to go to each base, do some mining, and refill the orbiting tanker station before every long mission so it’s ready when I got there). I’m not at my PC but last I checked it was a couple thousand hours.
Elite, the original one, on Commodore 64.
Kerbal space program
When I played on PC more EverQuest, counterstrike, TF2, wow, Skyrim
After playing more on console ff14, elder scrolls online, pillars of eternity 1/2, and souls games (ds2, ds3, bloodborne, elden Ring)
I also like to play Indies and smaller games but those are the ones I keep going back to
Minecraft, Factorio, Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere program have the most real playtime, but idle games have the top slots.
Probably counterstrike back in the day, possibly battlefield 2 including the Project Reality mod. That was back when gametime wasn’t really tracked and I had a lot more spare time Possibly WoW, but I only played for a couple of years or less and for a few hours a day at most.
Currently my highest is Forza Horison 5 with like 1200 hours. Have a few others with 500+ hours although a few are inflated at least 100+ hours because the game locked up on closing and counted as played for several days multiple times.
I’m approaching a thousand hours in Elite Dangerous. Quoting myself from a week or two ago:
It’s different to most other games, by not being goal-oriented except for the goals you set for yourself. No main quest line dictating progress. No mandatory tasks. No win condition. Instead, it drops you into a simulation of our entire galaxy roughly 1300 years in the future, where humanity has mastered hyperspace travel and spread through hundreds of star systems.
(To give an idea of the simulation’s scope: Around 85 million systems have been recorded by players so far, and those are a vanishingly small fraction of what’s out there. Space is big.)
I like that it offers a variety of activities to fit whatever mood I might be in on a given day. I can hunt pirates, mine asteroids, engage in a bit of piracy myself, find and collect bio samples, infiltrate rival settlements, venture into vast unexplored areas of space, discover Earth-like worlds that nobody has ever encountered before, defend humanity against hostile forces, photograph beautiful stellar phenomena, rescue stranded survivors, customize and finely tune my ship to perform beyond its original specs, team up with friends, pledge to a political power and expand their influence, or chill out as a space trucker and haul cargo to earn enough money for my next upgrade. It can occupy all my attention, or just be relaxing entertainment while I listen to music or an audiobook.
It’s an MMO in the sense of having a large game world (galaxy) shared by all players in real time, but PvP is optional. One mode exposes you to other players, while another limits you to NPC encounters. You can switch between them at will.
One warning: A space ship has more than a few controls to learn, and they’re better suited to a game controller or HOTAS than a keyboard and mouse. I use button combinations for almost everything beyond basic flight controls, since there aren’t enough buttons on a controller for everything.

Same, but my hours are definitely boosted by the times I’ve fallen asleep at the yoke.
Elden Ring and StarCraft2
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
Civ all games and Apex legends with like 6k or more hours.
Apex is from day 1 launch day.
Do you still play apex these days ?
What do you think about the state of the game
Yes still do. There’s nothing really new in the game so I feel that it is stagnant in experience. I’ve just started to move to the different country severs for fun and see how they play compared to the US.
Servers are still glitchy with random stutters hitting everybody their cash cow but still can’t fix it.
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.
Probably League of Legends, I don‘t know how to check how many and don‘t really care, but I‘d be surprised if I hadn‘t spent more than in Rocket League which clocks in at 1100 hours. I don‘t play much of either anymore though. Counterstrike 1.6 is at 400 hours but that‘s gotta be a lie and way more as well lol
The X3 games (Reunion/Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude) would be one game with DLC today, combined they’re my only 1000hr+ game. X4 is one game with DLC and is well on it’s way to that record.
Final Fantasy XI. Something like 400-500 days, so roughly 10k hours. Though I haven’t seriously played since 2011.
