I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.

I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.

What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?

    Dead Cells, with 1300hrs total (I have hit a wall at 3BC I haven’t been able to pass, but it’s still fun), and Grim Dawn with 1600hrs (but including non-official content like the user-run seasons). Current runner-ups are Sulfur and Witchfire with around 250hrs both.

      I managed to beat 4BC and decided I wasn’t having fun anymore. Once you get to 4BC or 5BC, it feels more like taking a driving test or a calculus exam, and I’d rather play a game that’s a little more forgiving of making mistakes because I like to try silly new things.

      Fortunately, custom mode is available, so I would play on 5BC with refillable health potions and enemy damage turned down to the lowest amount possible, and I found it a lot more fun.

      And side note: all games need a custom mode like Dead Cells has, it’s impossible to tune a game to a single difficulty that’s fun for everybody!
