Apart from Flight Simulator 2020 and DCS, I absolutely love games like Euro Truk Simulator 2 and Snowrunner. I put ungodly amounts of hours into those. Especially ETS 2 is incredibly relaxing. No pressure, just a lovely drive. It’s definitely not for everyone though.

5k hour in Tales of Maj Eyal :https://store.steampowered.com/app/259680/Tales_of_MajEyal/
Beat it in every difficulty once.. except the last one. Half of my time must be on trying that.
Project Zomboid, Valheim
I am Not even close to 1000h but devinetively Factorio. Be aware, this game is a massive time sink and makes you play for way longer than you want. Especially with the new expansion you can spend enormous amounts of time in this game.
Don't Starve Together scratches the MMO itch for me. It's not an MMO, but there are public servers where you can hop in and hang out, raid bosses and whatnot. I have ~4k hours in it now.
Dark age of Camelot. 6000 hours on my main character. I prefer not to think about how could life be different now if I had not started this game…

I used to think like this. It took me a while to realize it wouldn't be different at all. You gotta take care of yourself in life and that includes your mental health and well-being. Sometimes that's playing a game you love
Ark.
FFXIV, the campaigns alone are roughly 500 hours long Team Fortress 2
Elite Dangerous. Well over 1,000 hours, especially with friends to explore the black with. Hard to get into, but it has so much stuff to do. It made me passionate about space! (And it's always fun reading articles about a far-flung star and thinking "hey! I've been there!")

I'm closing in on 2000 hours, and it's such a great game if you like challenges and discovery.
I started playing it after one of the devs said, "I don't think anyone will ever make another game like it."
It's a terrific implementation of a very pure concept.
I really hope that, despite the development challenge it may present, "noitalike" becomes a thing.
I think it's an engine that would integrate really well with ML world/asset generation, too.
Sims 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4
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.
Garry's Mod. Basically a gateway drug to hobby animation, and in some ways not so far off from the modding tools used to make it.
If you've watched stuff like Heavy Is Dead, they're usually made with it. Some more professional-looking stuff is instead made in "Source Filmmaker".
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.
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.
Have you tried modded Minecraft ?
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.
Dota 2.
I've played Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, yet I still find Dota to be the most complex game ever.
It sucks that it's a multiplayer game, and you need people to play it well with you, but when it works, it's amazing.
Everything in it has layers of usability, usually componded by the everything else in the game - hero abilities, items, map, neutrals, even the stupid trees play a large role in the game.
I've spent hundreds of hours studying the mechanics, and I still don't grasp everything.
I played a lot of DotA too, but that doesn't have a playtime counter. But I have over 3000 hours in Dota 2.
My second favourite game is OpenTTD. It's just so satisfying to optimize the train network and add another 100 trains to it. I've tried Factorio, but for some reason that did not scratch that itch.
Or some roguelites, like Slay the Spire (or the Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend), Synthetik (haven't tried second one yet), they are always fun.

First at least make sure the poor sod does not have a family!
The Binding of Isaac
Oxygen Not Included- very detailed colony sim where scientific things like heat exchange, air pressure, etc. are essential for survival. I swear, my next file will be perfect...
Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.
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.

Grim Dawn (currently playing Community Season 7! check it out @ https://grimdawnleague.com/, Dead Cells and Terraria (and most of that time unmodded - i just love building cozy or not so cozy homes).
Rocket League
World of Warcraft
The only two games I have that I've put more than 1000 hours in are Factorio and Rimworld. I'd highly recommend both.
