To see this, bring up the Steam window, hover your mouse over your nick on the top of the window and click on Profile. Then on the right hand side of that, click on Games.

My top five most played games:
1. Serious Sam 3: BFE - 231 hours
2. The Talos Principle - 112 hours (Not accurate though since I accidentally left it on at the pause menu all night. Maybe numerous times. So I think I'll just skip over this one.)
3. Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter - 80 hours
4. Far Cry 2 - 70 hours
5. Garry's Mod - 41 hours
6. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - 26 hours

And just for fun, some games that I KNOW are in the hundred hours mark at very least but not recorded,
1. Unreal Tournament/UT2004
2. Super Smash Bros. 64/Melee/Project M
3. Halo 3
4. Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy Multiplayer
5. The Elder Scrolls III/V

Portal 2 - 60 Hrs
Plague Inc. Evovled - 51 Hrs
BIT.TRIP Presents RUNNER 2: Future Legend Of Rhythm Alien - 29 Hrs
BIT.TRIP RUNNER - 27 Hrs
BIT.TRIP BEAT - 22 Hrs

Boy, not even in the triple-digits, I'm such a scrub.

Portal 2 and Plague Inc. are kind of cheats too because I'm pretty sure Portal is counting my time on PS3 as well as Steam and Plague Inc has a lot of down time that adds up so it feels like cheating.

I'll do top 7, just because I wanna show my love for Max Payne 3.

Left 4 Dead 2
315 hrs on record

DARK SOULS? II
290 hrs on record

Batman: Arkham City GOTY
152 hrs on record

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN
118 hrs on record

Alien: Isolation
117 hrs on record

Left 4 Dead
97 hrs on record

Max Payne 3
95 hrs on record

Dark Souls would top them all, with over 1000 hrs, but I played it from the disc installation, before GFWL was patched out.
[sarcasm]Why not Arkham Knight, brah? That was such a good game.[/sarcasm]

Anyway, I tried to get into Dark Souls but a bunch of things really bugged me about it.

I'm sure there's at least one game though you've sunk some hard hours into. That or you're a starting gamer and I envy you.

Terraria - 410 Hours
Civilizations V - 227 Hours
Mount & Blade: Warband - 189
Skyrim - 162
Morrowind - 112

Terraria, Skyrim, and definitely Morrowind have tons more unrecorded due to alternate platforms.

Honorable Mention to Dark Souls 1 at 110 hours, cause that is all my Steam games at over 100 hours. Most games have between 20-40 hours, and I like to play a lot of games.

Same. Which is probably why I don't/can't play it anymore.
I think playing over 1000 hours of it is why. I love Dark Souls 1, and want to play it more...but I got all the achievements, and as much as I want to play it again, I don't feel compelled to actually bother.

FONV: 494

Skyrim: 435

DoW Retribution: 282

Blood Bowl: 245

Neverwinter: 168

That said , I have Civ IV on steam and if you counted up all the playtime I had on it before I got the steam version it would be more than all those added together. The original DoW series, FO3 & Oblivion would probably top 500 hours too.

1) "Team Fortress 2" - 714 hours.

2) "Left 4 Dead 2" - 335 hours.

3) "Portal 2" - 59 hours.

4) "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" - 30 hours

5) "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" - 27 hours.

Honestly this thread has made me interested in estimating the hours of non-Steam games, games I owned as a disc, and games on my Xbox One (which thankfully does track time). I only got Steam for "Left 4 Dead 2", and beyond Valve games I didn't bother with it otherwise for years.

Games I know I've spent hundreds of hours with not-on-Steam:
"Halo 3"
"Oblivion" and "FarCry 1" (owned them on disc for years before getting the Steam versions recently)
"World of Warcraft"
"Rayman Legends". I may edit in my Xbox One time at some point.
Several of the "Call of Duty" games, but especially "Black Ops II".

Team Fortress 2
359 hrs on record

Rocket League
355 hrs on record

Sid Meier's Civilization V
263 hrs on record

Mass Effect 2
233 hrs on record

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
214 hrs on record

although at one point I did reset my gametime profile as a trick to get achievements again (yeah yeah, sounds stupid, whatever) so the game times aren't accurate on some, on top of them not keeping track of some games before a certain period of time, so those top 5 games aren't necesarrily representative of my top 5 most played games nor how much actual time.

Still a fun metric nonetheless.

Doom
Arma 3
Torchlight 2
Skyrim
Anno 1404

Although Arma 3 is the game with the most playtime(160h) but compared to some of you guys it's peanuts.

1) Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn: 331 hours
2) Team Fortress 2: 52 hours
3) Warframe: 51 hours
4) Dragon Age Origins: Unlimited Edition: 40 hours
5) Fallout 4: 32 hours

As you can see, there is a bit of a drop off. Want to know the saddest part? I haven't played any game on this list except for FFXIV in at least months, with the most recent being Fallout 4 in April.

Civilization V - 381 hours
Fallout New Vegas - 307 hours
Rocket League - 210 hours
Skyrim - 208 hours

Kind of surprised the hour count for Civ V is not higher.

Well, this'll be depressing. Oh well. Fuck it. Here we go...

  • 5: Torchlight 2 - 246 hours
    4: Terraria - 939 hours
    3: Team Fortress 2 - 1,514 hours
    2: Left 4 Dead 2 - 1,977 hours
    1: Dota 2 - 3,431 hours

Now, granted, I have a shared account, so not all of those hours are mine. Notably for Dota 2 wherein I frequently shared my account (as in daily) to allow a group of friends I knew to play the game when it was still in closed beta. (they were long time fans of the WC3 mod but didn't have Steam accounts at the time) Also, I've used my account to host servers for at least three of the games listed.

Still...that's a fuck-ton of hours. I'm slightly....well, quite a bit more than slightly...perturbed by them.
