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?

Rimworld, and Football Manager (although they last one I played is 2020)

Guild Wars 2, so far I put 4,800+ hours into it.
I like that it has so many kinds of solo and group content that I can just do whatever I’m in the mood for that day.
After playing for 2000 hours, this one is an easy recommendation from me, too. The game was quite light on endgame content at release, but due to the design of the game, now the vast majority of the game occurs at ‘endgame’ and can be very fun. I love how I can come back after a couple of years, buy access to any content I missed in the meantime and have a character that doesn’t need to grind levels or gear, just jump straight into story mode and get caught up on the story. Even better when you don’t have to worry about making your playtime feel like it needs to be ‘worth it’, since you don’t need to pay monthly to play.
Team Fortress 2. There’s just so many different ways to play the game with its combination of classes, weapons and game modes!
Rocket League
The only two games I have that I’ve put more than 1000 hours in are Factorio and Rimworld. I’d highly recommend both.
A long time ago now I spent over 10,000 hours on world of warcraft. I wouldn’t really recommend getting into it now though, I think the magic is gone.
After around 16,000 hours, I’ve found WoW to be a lot more fun playing with others than just restricting myself to open world and full-PUG content. The last expansion was decent (story was a bit meh, but gameplay was great) and the current expansion has been okay so far. I just hope they can get balancing right on events going forward, since it’s getting tiring seeing them create a massive artificial grind then walk back on it a week or two later.
Factorio, it’s fun from the first minute but you’ll still be learning new things after 1000 hours.
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.
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.
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.
Right now I can’t recommend it because streamers and reddit made the game kinda trash, but Path of Exile. On steam I have 3k hours and I played on original launcher 5-10 more times longer.
I hope poe2 will make Poe great again.
Deep Rock Galactic
Rock and stone!
Kerbal Space Program
I’m well above a thousand hours on the first game. Then all my flying sims (MSFS, Xplane, DCS, Elite Dangerous) also have a very high hour count. But for civilian airliners most of those hours are spent AFK in cruise.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord with some mods took long enough to give up for me.
Star wars mods make it really fun
Somehow ctrl+f failed to find this one, but Path of Exile is probably my drug of choice there. While I raked in 1k hrs with Dota2, I’m not sure I"d recommend it unless you really want to sell your soul to MOBA life. And it’s not quite to 1k yet, but honorable mention must go to Satisfactory as it’s well on its way to being game #3 in the 1k+ list with me.
I played Dota 2 for 7000 hours. Do not recommend.
Minecraft. Probably have around 5000+ hours I think. Playing since I was 10(now 17). So, many wasted hours on Anarchy Servers and Ranked Bedwars.
I just started playing in the last few months. I bought it for my son and didn’t expect to be that interested in it and now I can’t stop playing.
