I used to do a annual playthrough of Baldurs Gate 2, then moved on to The Witcher 3.
Now I'm looking for another 'winter game' as I like to call them. I may try BG3 or DOS 1 or 2.

It once would've been Runescape, but I believe Minecraft would've taken over now as while I don't regularly play Minecraft anymore, I do log in for a modpack once or twice a year still and that takes many many hours.

While I don't play it anymore, I played wow for 15 years. The first three were pure bliss. The next 12 was just trying to recapture that feeling. Never did.

I am not sure honestly,
I'd spent 200+ hours each on persona 4 golden and persona 5 royal in the last decade.
I remember played many DS & PSP games for over 100+ hours as well, though I don't have the data anymore (Dragon quest IX, suikoden tierkreis, persona 3 portable, etc). Mainly JRPG.
I've played 3 (Three) and kingdom rush series on my ipad / iphone almost everyday for relaxation especially when commuting after covid, have been for years, so if we are talking about longetivity, there's that.
If we can include franchise, definitely Lumines series for me. I've been playing them since PSP era, continue to Vita, Switch, and now Handhelnd PCs.

COD World at War on 360 and HOMM3.
It's still active, but the player count is so low I cant get into a game anymore. It still says 300 online, but the lobby never fills out, nor does the game even let me join any random games. Last time I played was probably a year or so ago in 2024. Game came out Q4 2008. So 16 years!
At one time it was HOMM3. It came out 1999 and I played it off and on till I'd estimate about 2023. So 24 years.

I don't really have a game that I consistently come back to.
But I have played Mario 64 a lot, over and over again.

Been gaming for 30+ years, and I've never put so much time into a single game as I do Fortnite.
They got me.
FFXI or BG3 would be a distant second, and then maybe Starcraft.

Rocket League since launch. I'll take a few weeks off here and there but that's about it. Next would be R6 Siege with longer breaks, then Destiny 2. Used to be a pretty consistent COD player (now retired) but I would take an entire COD off past launch month if I didn't like it (WW2, Infinite Warfare, Advanced Warfare).

Still playing Mario kart tour on my iphone that I downloaded April 9, 2022. Played it today. I have multiple switches I should just buy a case and bring the dam thing with me, but I usually only get a few races in on my phone it might not be worth it.

Yeah, i agree on Max Payne 2, i hope the new remakes by Remedy will make the original MP obsolete.
Diablo 2 is also my pick.

There are plenty of games for the NES, SNES, Master System and Mega Drive that I've been playing regularly since the early 90s. Sonic 1+2, Super Mario Bros 3, A Link to the Past, Golden Axe, Bubble Bobble etc.
The Secret of Monkey Island also comes to mind (PC)

In terms of hours, probably BG2 or Diablo 2, but we didn't have a way to track game time back then.
My top three on Steam are Darktide (1110 hours), Terraria (1426 hours, not bad for a game that cost 2.5€) and... Grim Dawn!? 1702 hours, I remember reaching 1k hours but when the heck did it go that high...
In terms of longevity, probably Titan Quest. I've been playing it regularly since Immortal Throne in 2007, and am still playing the Anniversary Edition on Steam. I've been using TQVault, an external "muling" program to store your stuff, from the start, so I still have some weapons on my current characters that I've dropped almost 20 years ago, crazy stuff...

Probably something like The Last Ninja on Commodore 64, not for hours but the time it's been with me as something I fire up regularly just because I still like it, came out 1987. A collection was released in late 2025 btw, up now on Steam but will come to all platforms.
For actual playtime it's most likely Skyrim. I've had it on so many platforms and versions and hundred or so hours on each. No playtime counter but must be over 1000 hours. Interestingly I've still never finished it, I always drift away doing side stuff and then start over before the main quest is completed.
Elden Ring is up there as well with over 700 hours played. It can't beat Skyrim on total hours all versions combined but it does if I can only count one version, all those hours are on Steam alone.

Same, but for me it was 10 years. From 2005 till WotlK in 2009 was absolutely magical, afterwards it got too boring, too complex.
