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?
Sims 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4
BeamNG.
I just can’t stop crashing cars into things in slow motion.
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.
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”.
