Including DLC, micro transaction purchases, etc. If you got a game for free, please also list your non-infinite next best.

For me it’s Team Fortress 2. $100 total spent on hats and the Orange Box back in the day, 4200 hours plus of fun, meaning 2.3¢ AUD per hour. Initially I thought DotA2 would be my best but it turns out I’ve spent a lot more money in that game than I thought…

My worst is God of War: Ragnarok. Bought it full price for $95 AUD, only played 2 hours and hated it, meaning $47.50 AUD per hour.

    I mean I love space, from sci-fi to more realistic. I played a lot of Kerbal Space Program. But I don’t love grinding. I did plenty of that in Warframe but only because the core loop and mechanics feel good and the unlockables are kinda fun. Absent that kind of engagement, no way. KSP requires planning maneuvers but at least there’s time warp and no threats except your own mistakes.

      I bounced off Warframe because I found the main game play loop to be repetitive af. For the same reason I don’t stick with MMOs in general. I don’t like doing the same dungeons over and over again hoping for a loot drop.

      Elite has more variety of activities each with their own grind. If I get bored of mining I can go shoot down some pirates for a bit. Get bored of shooting pirates, I can go explore something I have never seen. Mitterand Hollow is a standout. It’s a glitch in the game where a moon orbits a planet at an impossibly fast speed. You can’t really catch up to the moon to land on it, you have to get in front of it and wait for it to come to you. See, fun. LOL.
