One thing I have struggled with lately is finding good games to play. I bounce around from game to game trying to enjoy it but it just doesn’t scratch the itch like it used to. For example, one of my favorites was old school RuneScape, but it hasn’t really been giving me the same enjoyment that it used to. So then I would open up World of Warcraft, Destiny 2, just playing a little bit of each game. Think maybe I need some new games to play but it’s tough to find them these days.
So what are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

If it still ran, MW2. Loved it
but today it would have to be minecraft. I have to play it in sessions but, it never fails to find a mod pack or challenge setup.
Factorio, it’s fun from the first minute but you’ll still be learning new things after 1000 hours.
Me: Ooooooohhhh, ok. I know how logistic networks work.
2 hrs later
Me: wtf? Production stopped. Why does this one belt have 5 different materials. Oh…idk how chests work. That’s OK I’ll simplify it until it works.
suns up and birds chirping
Me: ok, ok. So it’s working, but i dont know why.
800 hrs in and I still underestimate the space I need. Best 30 bucks I’ve ever spent.
200 hours in for me and I just learned you can put gates over train tracks. 🤯 Found out by reading the in game manual that I was too proud to read beforehand. So uhm… read the manual.

First at least make sure the poor sod does not have a family!
Per my steam library:
Factorio: 3,375.4 hours
Dyson Sphere Program: 2,505.9 h
Stellaris: 2,236.6 h
Terraria 2,629.9h
Skyrim: 1,239.5 h
Dungeon Defenders only has 600 hours on Steam, but I’m well over 2000 hours between Steam and PS3/4
I’ve also got a few thousand hours in Just Cause 2&3, as well as several Gran Turismo games and Forza Motorsport games. Morrowind probably has 2-3000 hours, oh and I’m not allowed near Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri anymore.
Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger are probably up there as well since I’ll replay them every decade or so.
That’s a lot of gaming
I’m 44 years old, and have been gaming practically since I was born. My parents played D&D, and video games with us kids.
Also a lot of those totals are artificially inflated because I can leave the game running to finish a long task, especially Factorio and DSP
That’s awesome.
BeamNG.
I just can’t stop crashing cars into things in slow motion.
Satisfactory
Factorio
The Factory Must Grow
I’m almost 100 hours into my new space age save, and I’ve played nearly 1k hours since I bought it 5ish years ago. By far one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played and I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys sandbox games
Factorio. It’s the game I always come back to, and I’m always ready to spend 5 minutes playing here and there now that it works so well on steam deck.
Project Zomboid, Rimworl, Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, Starsector…
You really like simulators?
Story generators. Best kind of games, in my opinion. It’s truly amazing how the interconnection between numerous systems can result in totally unexpected and memorable experiences no scripted game could provide.
I… guess? I don’t know how I would classify these games. But they all are able to steal from me 8h in a day, no issue :)
The only two games I have that I’ve put more than 1000 hours in are Factorio and Rimworld. I’d highly recommend both.
Minecraft…
Warframe. Inching closer to 3.000h currently.
It does come in waves, but every once in a while I go all in again and lose myself in the infinite things you can do.
I think I have 5k hours in and the development style finally got to me in a bad way. I can go into detail if needed, but I don’t feel I need to to anyone with enough time in the game.
My friends got me into Warframe about 6 months ago. We play together almost every night. We are so excited for the 1999 update.
Have fun playing :D
Thanks! I blasted my way through the main quest in preparation for 1999. Now I’m just working on getting my MR up and good frames and weapons built. My friends are so much farther along than me and they are a huge help. My fave part of the game, by far, is the fashion
Sims 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4
Factorio: 2344
Path of Exile: 2736
Rimworld: 2191
Kerbal Space Program: 1071
I have a bunch of honorable mentions in the several hundred hours ranges that are only not 1k+ because I have severe ADHD and something else became a hyperfocus before they hit that point:
Backpack Hero
Ark
The Last Spell
Timberborn
Factory Town
Dyson Sphere Program
Loop Hero
Brotato
Satisfactory
Path of Achra
Against the Storm
Desynced
Commas, please.
Honestly, I had it all with line breaks, but it didn’t take. I will fix.
I’ve had that same issue before.
Thank you for fixing it!
Have you tried modded Minecraft ?
The Elder Scrolls Online was my first 1,000+ hour game, but it’s since been long surpassed by Dead By Daylight.
terraria for me. i keep managing to find new stuff over a thousand hours later.
“Has this item always been here?! no way. REALLY?”
Well they keep updating it, so it may not have been there, unless you made a chest sphere and didn’t label the chests.
no its just there’s a lot of items in the game. and some you wouldn’t really find unless you were actively searching for them.
