13.
Witcher: Wild Hunt and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. u/JadeNicholson
14.
I must have completed Metal Gear Solid 2 ten times easily. Going for dog tags, or just playing around with each little sand-box level. There was just so much to discover. Same with MGS 3 u/mfarmer1982
15.
Terraria. Currently at 2000+hours throughout the experience, but my first world alone was easily over 100. u/Tanango
16.
Bioshock. Many hours playing long into the night and getting completely creeped out. u/FunEconomy6147
17.
Vanilla WoW. I think I’d put in 18 hours a day minimum. Glad to not be there anymore. u/BatmansQueefBreath
18.
Mass Effect trilogy, and still playing it. - u/loading__99
19.
Stardew Valley -, u/Middlerun
20.
Minecraft on its own is a timesink. Minecraft with a good modpack is a death sentence. - u/cheesycoke

23.
GTA III - u/Pangtundure
24.
Factorio This is not a joke. It's a warning. Seriously. - u/Earthguy69
25.
All three Dark Souls games consumed my life. Bloodborne and Sekiro as well. It wasn't just about playing them either. Learning the lore, watching other people play. Hopefully, Elden Ring has the same effect. - u/LetsMakeGlamourShits
