I was looking through my most played games and associated hours on Steam and they're pretty telling of the sort of gamer I am and the types of games I like. I thought it would be interesting to see others' and potentially add peeps that have similar gaming interests, or just talk about others' favorites. Obviously just being Steam excludes a lot of other PC games but it's still enough to get some cool info.

Your top 10 can be found at steamcommunity.com/id/YOURSTEAMURL/games/?tab=all or by going to your profile and clicking on GAMES on the right side.

Anyways,

• Team Fortress 2 - 1,588 hrs
• Dota 2 - 976 hrs
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - 280 hrs
• PAYDAY 2 - 153 hrs
• Fallout: New Vegas - 96 hrs
• Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - 79 hrs
• DARK SOULS™ II - 76 hrs
• FTL: Faster Than Light - 73 hrs
• Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - 70 hrs
• Spelunky - 68 hrs

You can add me here if you'd like.

Share yours!

1. TF2 - 742 hrs (more than that really because they only started counting in steam after tf2 had been out a year or so)
2. Civ V - 242 hrs
3. Spelunky - 204 hrs
4. Skyrim - 166 hrs
5. Dragon Age: Origins - 112 hrs (this includes the expansion)
6. Fallout: New Vegas - 89 hrs
7. Crusader Kings 2 - 80 hrs (I still have no idea how the game works)
8. Left 4 Dead 2 - 77 hrs
9. Mass Effect 2 - 70 hrs
10. Civ IV - 64 hrs

Honorable mentions to Mass Effect and Left 4 Dead with 61 hrs each.

1. Mount & Blade: Warband - 663 hrs
2. Dota 2 - 421 hrs
3. Left 4 Dead - 246 hrs
4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 188 hrs
5. Left 4 Dead 2 - 185 hrs
6. XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 95 hrs
7. Divinity: Original Sin - 72 hrs
8. Warframe - 67 hrs
9. Borderlands 2 - 62 hrs
10. Planetside 2 - 61 hrs

Warframe and Planetside 2 are the only ones that stick out to me. A lot of that was probably the launchers being left open to patch. The next one is The Secret World (60 hrs), but that's got the same issue. After that it's Marvel Heroes 2015 (54 hrs) and Starbound (53 hrs), and those are probably legit.

• Sol Forge - 667 hours
• Infinity Wars- 373 hours
• Xcom- 117 hours
• Dark Souls- 84 hours
• Peggle 84 hours
• Dragon Age Origins-73 hours
• Door Kickers- 53 hours
• Kings Bounty Armored Princess- 43 hours

• Sid Meier's Civilization V - 118 hrs
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 64 hrs
• Operation Flashpoint: Red River - 51 hrs
• Fallout: New Vegas - 48 hrs
• Craft The World - 37 hrs
• Warhammer® 40,000™: Dawn of War® II - 37 hrs
• Borderlands 2 - 36
• Tomb Raider - 33 hrs
• Saints Row: The Third - 32 hrs
• Godus - 30 hrs

Compared to the kinds of times you guys are putting in, I guess I'm not one who really goes all in on games.

And I really did enjoy Red River. All these people cryin' and moanin', yet it's the closest I've felt to playing a proper old-school Ghost Recon type game. I couldn't give a toss if it share the name with some janky-ass old military simulator.

As for Godus and Tomb Raider, I must have left them running in the background or something as there's no way I played them that much.

I'm lazy. Super surprised to see Kingdoms of Amalur on there, since I didn't like that game much. I wanted to see it through though.

• Dota 2 - 1954 hrs
• Team fortress 2 - 264 hrs
• Civ 5 - 263 hrs
• Total war: shogun 2 - 254 hrs
• Skyrim - 159 hrs
• Planetside 2 - 102 hrs
• Garry's mod - 91 hrs
• Company of Heros - 82 hrs
• Sleepy dogs - 73 hrs
• Just cause 2 - 73 hrs

I think I have a problem.

Sid Meier's Civilization V - 433 hours
Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition - 296 hours
Borderlands - 207 hours
Mass Effect 2 - 178 hours
Borderlands 2 - 167 hours
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 103 hours
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - 84 hours
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 71 hours
Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition - 70 hours
Mass Effect - 48 hours

Most everything I would have expected to be there is there. Although I don't remember putting 167 hours into Borderlands 2. I mean...the first playthroughs on each character were fun, but damn that games stingy loot system and annoying difficulty without rare gear in playthrough 2 and beyond. That is 100 hours I wish I had in Dark Souls or something instead. No surprise that Civ V and Baldur's Gate 2 are the two top by quite a large amount of hours. I can always go back to those two games and have a good time.

• The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - 571h
• The Binding of Isaac - 472h
• Spelunky - 240h
• Borderlands - 201h
• Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the Year - 104h
• Dungeons of Dredmor - 95h
• Valkyria Chronicles - 93h
• Legend of Grimrock 2 - 87h
• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - 87h
• Borderlands 2 - 84h

Fallout 3 should be somewhere on that list, but for some reason Steam didn't record its time properly =/

I recently switched to being a PC primary gamer, so a lot of my longer playtimes still remain on console. Well that my Bioware games are on Origin. Really kinda surprised I don't have a 100 hr playthrrugh on any single player game yet, I'd thought I'd have a half a dozen or so by now.

Really can't believe Massive Chalice made my top ten, makes me wonder if Steam times are recording properly.

The other 9 don't seem particularly important.

Man people love their DOTAs huh

• Fallout: New Vegas - 294 h
• Terraria - 231 h
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 212 h
• Dragon Age: Origins - 181 h
• Borderlands - 167 h
• Team Fortress 2 - 138 h
• XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 138 h
• Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - 127 h
• EVE Online - 121 h
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - 116 h

The fact that Borderlands is so high up there irks me because it's a game I think I dislike alot, got it's hooks into me anyway for some reason.

Honorable mention goes to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes with 64 hours. Not such a short game after all huh (if you're insane).

• Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 205 h
• Borderlands 2 - 174 h
• Kerbal Space Program - 163 h
• Warframe - 157 h
• Payday 2 - 145 h
• X3: Terran Conflict - 131 h
• Terraria - 105 h
• Fallout: New Vegas - 94 h
• Cities: Skylines - 86 h
• Borderlands - 80 h

I know Dark Souls 2 will end up on that list, but since Scholar of the First Sin counts as a different game, it won't.
Glad to see that five of the ten (probably easy to guess which ones) are on there because I mostly play/played them cooperatively with my brothers. I rarely get to see them in person anymore, so games is a way to get together and hang out in a way.
This also shows me that I don't stick with many games for very long, instead jump between a larger pool of games.

1. Mass Effect 2 490 h
2. Dragon Age Origins 441 h
3. Dragon Age 2 283 h
4. Skyrim 237 h
5. Football Manager 2010 129 h
6. Witcher 3 113 h
7. COD Modern Warfare 2 MP 102 h
8. GTAV 98 h
9. GTAIV 96 h
10. Fallout New Vegas 93 h

• SolForge - 2168 h
• Civ V - 236 h
• Torchlight II - 234 h
• Skyrim - 168 h
• XCOM - 156 h
• Fallout: New Vegas - 147 h
• MtG Duels 2012 - 119 h
• Company of Heroes 2 - 111 h
• LotR Online - 70 h
• Tomb Raider - 70 h

First of all about two thirds of my PC collection are still non-Steam, so there's that. SolForge's playtime is pretty meaningless because I don't close the client during the significant amount of downtime (due to waiting for tournament rounds to start, waiting for slow or AFK opponents etc.) but I'd estimate at least 1000 hours of actual playtime plus several hundreds of deckbuilding which is part of gameplay as far as I'm concerned.

1. Marvel Heroes 2015 - 333
2. Skyrim - 257
3. League of Legends (it was available on steam at some stage) 191 (plus the thousands of hours on the normal client)
4. Rift - 131
5. Fallout NV - 103
6. Dungeons of Dredmor - 88
7. Borderlands 2 - 81
8. Dark souls 2 - 75
9. TF2 - 74
10. Neverwinter Nights 2: Platinum - 66
11. Civ V, tied with 10 - 66

• TF2 - 355 hours
• Path of Exile - 133 hours
• Terraria - 99 hours
• Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance - 98 hours
• Civilisation V - 95 hours
• Torchlight II - 57 hours
• Dawn of War 2: Retribution - 52 hours
• Left 4 Dead 2 - 44 hours
• FTL - 39 hours
• Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - 38 hours

Well that was surprising - almost all of my 10 most played are games I've played exclusively in multiplayer, with the exception of FTL. I guess I can't double-down on time spent in single-player games the way some others seem to. Or that I tend to play my longer singleplayer games (JRPGs and so on) on consoles. I also can't belive I have 95 hours in Civ V and I'm still yet to have enjoyed one of them.

• Borderlands 2 - 118 hs
• Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the Year - 48 hs
• Borderlands - 41 hs
• Saints Row IV - 40 hs
• Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - 34 hs
• Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - 30 hs
• The Talos Principle - 26 hs
• Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition - 21 hs
• Tomb Raider - 18.3 hs
• Dust: An Elysian Tail - 16.9 hs

Relatively new to PC gaming. I likely have more time spent of console games, but there is no way to know that...

1. Dota 2 - 1,386h
2. Ultra Street Fighter IV - 440h
3. Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - 231h
4. Team Fortress 2 - 175h
5. Counter Strike GO - 114h
6. Dark Souls II - 77h
7. Witcher 3 - 69h
8. Skyrim - 45h
9. Mortal Kombat X - 40h
10. Saints Row: The Third - 38h

This isn't entirely accurate since steam can be weird with the hour counts. I know for a fact I've spent over a hundred hours in New Vegas, but that game had reset its hour count at some point and it's at 13 or something now.

I don't leave games idling for more than a couple of minutes at a time. So the hours are at least pretty representative of how much my face was plastered to the screen. A fair bit of dota is queueing and storefront though.

And the Witcher 3 is going to get a whole lot of more hours in when I get back on it. Still in act 1 for gods sake. XD

Never knew you check this in steam. (Not the hours themself, just a top ranking of them)

@nime: I play my PS4 more than I play Steam. I just recently got a new gaming laptop that can run the 110 game I own on Steam. So here is my Top 10 Most Played

XCOM: Enemy Unknown- 62 hrs

Age of Empire 3-15.2 hrs

Torchlight-11.2

Bastion-10.9 hrs

Scribblenauts Unmasked-10.4 hrs

Age of Mythology-8.5 hrs

Deadlight-6.2 hrs

Call of Juarez Gunslinger-5.7 hrs

Puzzle Quest 2-5.2 hrs

• DOTA 2 - 1716 hours
• The Binding of Isaac - 261 hours
• FTL: Faster Than Light - 222 hours
• Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor - 217 hours
• Rocksmith 2014 - 216 hours
• Ultra Street Fighter IV - 216 hours
• Worms Reloaded - 208 hours
• Rocksmith - 197 hours
• Street Fighter IV - 196 hours
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 194 hours

For Company of Heroes, if you put all the different versions of the original together including the new Steam version, it would total up to 330.

1) Football Manager 2014 (388 hours)

2) Football Manager 2013 (224 hours)

3) Football Manager 2009 (195 hours) lol starting to see a trend here.

4) Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt (104 hours)

5) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (85 hours)

6) Baldurs Gate 2: Enhanced Edition (69 hours)

7) Football Manager 2015 (61 hours)

8) X-Com: UFO Defense (59 hours)

9) Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (49 hours)

10) Pillars Of Eternity (46 hours)

but my true time consuming gaming culprit is a non steam game by the name of Starcraft 2, where I have logged over 12.000 games over the past 4-5 years. I have no idea how many hours that is, but its a lot.

1. Sid Meier's Civilization V - 1,115 hours (and counting - I was playing it just this morning)
2. Crusader Kings II - 957 hours
3. Mount & Blade: Warband - 590 hours
4. Magic 2014: Duels of the Planeswalkers - 401 hours
5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 382 hours
6. Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers - 284 hours
7. Total War: Shogun 2 - 224 hours
8. Team Fortress 2 - 204 hours
9. Europa Universalis IV - 137 hours
10. XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 83 hours

Strategy games are my jam. Also, if Steam could track how much I've played Diablo III, it would probably have beaten out XCOM.

@tothenines: If we estimate that an average match is 30 minutes. Then that would be 6000 hours no? :P

1. Team Fortress 2 - 2,066 hrs
2. Dark Souls II - 120 hrs
3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 67 hrs
4. Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - 60 hrs
5. Terraria - 48 hrs
6. Left 4 Dead 2 - 41 hrs
7. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - 35 hrs
8. Borderlands - 31 hrs
9. Sleeping Dogs - 27 hrs
10. XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 26 hrs

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 168hrs
2. Spelunky - 119 hrs
3. Fallout: New Vegas - 99 hrs
4. Dark Souls II - 96 hrs
5. Dark Souls - 75 hrs
6. Grand Theft Auto IV - 67 hrs
7. Saints Row: The Third - 59 hrs
8. L.A. Noire - 53 hrs
9. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - 38 hrs
10. Mass Effect 2 - 34 hrs

Skyrim is king, but if I count PS4 and Vita I've probably played more Spelunky. I can't imagine ever putting 2,000 hours into a game (I own DOTA2 and TF2 they are just way down my list) I just don't see how anyone has the time!

@draugen: How did you put that many hours into Mass Effect 2 did you replay it multiple times? I never thought that game had nearly as much content as most of the games on these lists.

I guess so. though every match varies, but I guess you are more or less right :D damn...

holy shit i see people in the thousands... wow, i usually never play a game that long consistently. All of my top steam games average about 120 or 110 hours to about 70. theres like 20 of them. i spread my love i guess

1. Star Trek Online - 171 hours
2. Skyrim - 111 hours
3. Borderlands 2 - 99 hours
4. Plants vs. Zombies - 84 hours
5. Left 4 Dead 2 - 64 hours
6. Team Fortress 2 - 60 hours
7. Sid Meier's Civilization V - 58 hours
8. FTL: Faster Than Light - 52 hours
9. XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 50 hours
10. Dragon Age II - 50 hours

I know for a fact that I've put in roughly 100 hours to both Civ V,and Sleepy Dogs- which for some reason does not even register that I've played it.

Yup. If there was a tiny variation of events I wanted to see, I didn't reload an old save and make another choice. I started a whole new character. I regret nothing.

1. RIFT - 553 hours
2. Civilization 5 - 104 hours
3. Monday Night Combat - 72 hours
4. The Lord of the Rings Online - 67 hours
5. Divinity: Original Sin - 59 hours (Never finished)
6. Dungeon Defenders - 57 hours
7. Sanctum 2 - 50 hours
8. Civilization Beyond Earth - 46 hours
9. Borderland 2 - 46 hours
10. Skyrim - 41 hours (Never finished)

Those are just steam times. I would not want to look at the time I have played for Blizzard games, Battlefield series, or Pokemon. I know on my WoW main I have at least 180 days on that toon alone.

I feel that pain, my friend. I did the math once, and discovered I somehow managed to put 100+ days into Diablo II. Sure it was a blast, but I can't help but think of how I could've spent that time actually doing something useful... like my homework.

The sad part is, that's only a fraction of the total time I've spent playing FFXI.

1. Skyrim: 227 hours
2. Witcher 3: 147 hours
3. Fallout New Vegas: 131 hours
4. Borderlands 2: 105 hours
5. Dark Souls II: 97 hours
6. Dark Souls: 91 hours
7. Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning: 91 hours
8. Final Fantasy XIII: 83 hours
9. Witcher 2: 57 hours
10. Dead Rising 3: 55 hours

I'd also like to say that the PC game I've played the most in the past few years is definitely Diablo 3 but of course it's not a Steam game so the 2500+ hours I spent playing it doesn't show up.

1. The Binding of Issac 150 hours ( think the timer was broken on this but I played it quite a bit)
2. Final Fantasy 14 ARR 146 Hours
3. Total War Shogun 2 105 Hours
4. Terraria 93 Hours
5. Skyrim 88 Hours
6. RollerCoaster Tycoon: Deluxe 70 Hours
7. Torchlight 2 70 Hours
8. Dark Souls 2 64 Hours
9. Divinity Original Sin 63 Hours
10. Marvel Heroes 2015 57 Hours

I should note I also have 800+ Hours (each) in Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 as well as 1500+ in World of Warcraft....

Marvel Heroes and RCT both make AMAZING netflix/podcast games.

Ah I should have known that Skyrim would nab the top spot in this list. It isn't listed here but Final Fantasy XIV would be in the top spot since I spent at least 200 hours on it. MMO's tend to be what I sink the most time into.

Most of my most played games aren't on Steam, like Minecraft, the first 3 Halo games, and several Call of Duty games. I'm pretty sure I've played more Minecraft than my 10 most played steam games combined.

Terraria - 266

The Binding of Isaac - 242

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - 162

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition - 107

Spelunky - 101

Dark Souls 2 - 64

Nuclear Throne - 42 I honestly can't believe how much time I spent on this already considering I've had it for less than a month.

FTL - 36

Team Fortress 2 - 33

Rogue Legacy - 28

Borderlands - 108 hrs on record

Torchlight - 67 hrs on record

Borderlands 2 - 57 hrs on record

Street Fighter IV - 57 hrs on record

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - 53 hrs on record

Crusader Kings II - 44 hrs on record

Monday Night Combat - 33 hrs on record

Defense Grid: The Awakening - 31 hrs on record

Starbound - 30 hrs on record

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 29 hrs on record

Conclusion: I like loot, Down-Right Fierce, telling people to shoot faces and shooting faces.

@sweep: this is more like it

don't even bother posting if dota isn't your top game played by 1000 hours

I think if you run the game with FOSE, Steam doesn't recognise it. I've played through Fallout 3 three or four times but my Steam clock says 45 minutes...

1. Champions Online - 153 hours

2. BioShock Infinite - 52 hours

3. Fallout New Vegas - 43 hours

4. Saints Row IV - 41 hours

5. Telltale's Sam & Max series - 26 hours

6. Portal 2 - 22 hours

7. The Walking Dead - 19 hours

8. The Book of Unwritten Tales - 18 hours

9. Left 4 Dead 2 - 17 hours

10. Alice: Madness Returns - 16 hours

11. Left 4 Dead, Broken Age, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Grim Fandango Remastered, DC Universe Online, The Secret World - 14 hours

To put things in perspective, adding all of these times together wouldn't come anywhere near the amount of time I've spent playing just one of my World of Warcraft characters. That's an hour count I don't like thinking about, I think it's measured by months.

Other honorable mentions include Minecraft (No clue), Skyrim (Near 300 hours) and Fallout 3 (100 hours). The latter two I played on Xbox 360.

I had my hours calculated on Xfire (rip) before Steam started taken hours into account. So I've combined the two for the top 4.

1. Team Fortress 2 - 606 hours

2. F.E.A.R. - 585 hours

3. Counter-Strike Source: 202 hours

4. CS 1.6 - 150 hours

5. Bad Company 2 - 104 hours

6. CS:GO - 37 hours

7. Dishonored - 26 hours

8. Deus Ex Human Revolution - 24 hours

9. Age of Mythology EE - 20 hours

10. Gotham City Impostors (I wish this wasn't #10) - 19.3 hours

Growing up in middle school I know I played the original Age of Mythology and Titans on disk for well over a thousand hours. I didn't think I played that many shooters lol.

As a hardcore PC gamer:

• Audiosurf - 36 hours
• The Binding of Isaac - 24
• The Walking Dead - 12.2 hours
• Amnesia: The Dark Descent - 8.8 hours
• Torchlight - 6.9 hours
• Audiosurf - 6.5 hours
• The Wolf Among Us - 5.2 hours
• Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures - 3.9 hours
• Broken Age - 3.8 hours
• Rocksmith 2014/Hotline Miami - 3.1 hours

1. Football Manager 2013 - 1026 hours
2. Football manager 2014 - 366 hours
3. Team Fortress 2 - 256 hours
4. War Thunder - 236 hours
5. Football Manager 2015 - 214 hours
6. GTAV - 33 hours
7. MGS:GZ - 9 hours
8. Honorable mention for PES 5/6, GTA: San Andreas, CIV 3, Heroes 3, Counter Striker 1.6 that i have played to death.

Also i'd like to apologize to Football Manager for neglecting her, poor soul.

1. APB Reloaded - 196 hrs
2. Borderlands 2 - 132 hrs
3. Saints Row: The Third - 76 hrs
4. Sleeping Dogs - 52 hrs
5. Dying Light - 42 hrs
6. Saints Row IV - 36 hrs
7. Borderlands - 33 hrs
8. Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the - 28 hrs
9. Dungeon Siege III - 28 hrs
10. EVE Online - 27 hrs

I have quite a few more hours in APB when not using Steam. I've played 315 hours of GTA V too.

Hmm...

1. Skyrim: 183h
2. GTA V: 140h
3. Terraria: 136h
4. Borderlands 2: 121h
5. Command & Conquer 3: 108h
6. Saints Row: The Third: 102h
7. Civ V: 99h
8. Fallout: New Vegas 96h
9. World in Conflict: 96h
10. Half Life 2: 93h

However, that doesn't include Company of Heroes, about 50+ more hours in New Vegas and Fallout 3 (which is probably much higher than NV), due to mods not launching it through steam properly, until relatively recently. Also I put a good chunk of time into Skyrim, Fallout 3 / NV and Half Life 2 (via Orange Box) for Xbox 360 before I really got into PC gaming. Also I had HL2 when it launched but lost the disk ages ago.

Also I run Guild Wars 2 through Steam so I would technically count it. And that's well over a thousand hours.

Edit: Oh yeah, I played GTA V on 360 as well since they took forever to get the PC version out. But in the end I'm glad they took so long, that game runs incredibly well for me, even with most settings jacked way up.
