Blue Prince took a solid month-and-a-half of my life and a good part of my little remaining sanity.

i always see this “you can control it” thing but nobody talks about how your ability to control the rng is dependent on the rng to unlock. it took 15 hours for me to see a single thing that allowed me to change probabilities, and by that point i had already rolled credits. i didn’t get basement access until day 40. the rng really fucked with me, until i gave up.

It does play out differently for different people, but for me it was like this: first half of the playtime I had so many things to investigate at once that I didn’t care about RNG because every run was making progress on something. Late game when I started needing specific things I had already had time to unlock RNG control.

Rimworld

I don’t think I’d say it’s my favorite game or anything, but if I had to choose one single game, and I can only play that for rest of my life, it would be Rimworld

Odyssey counts, right?

At the moment it is Clair Obscur (of course it is) as I am trying to golden it (I never do that) and play a NG+.
But from the stats, the most hours are in Flight Simulator because I am a member of a virtual airline and any flight takes at least more than an hour. And I sometime do AFK long hauls so that's 10+h of flying while I'm at work or sleeping.

Deltarune ch3/4 is the only 2025 release I've played, so I guess that wins by default.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. The single factor that made it stick is that it is the longest game I’ve played this year. I can’t say I’m fond of the question.
caut_R@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think it was Satisfactory, started and finished it this year and it‘s a big game. Any game outside of Steam I can‘t see the playtime so I wouldn‘t know.
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’ve been playing Satisfactory for 6 years and I still haven’t finished it lol

Nightreign has really kept me going longer than I thought it would. I think the best part is the low communication barrier and the wide gamut of players skill levels, I love clutching for the noobs and I love absolutely stomping bosses with higher skilled players

I still have two decks to gold stake. Then I’ll quit. Honest.

Modded MC, specifically TFC packs
It hits almost all the right points to lock me in.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. 1500 hours in that game is worth it.
MrIamsosmrt@feddit.org 1 month ago
Probably Baldur’s gate 3. I have completed the game 5 times and I still find things that I’ve never seen before. And the gameplay is great if you’re into dnd and turnbased rpgs

I don’t even remember everything that came out this year I have played… 🤔
Expedition 33? Blue Prince? Rivals of Aether 2? Uh… 🤷♂️ That might actually be it, tbh.

Dune Awakening. Not the best game in the world, but I have a group of friends and it’s fun to hang out and try to survive the desert together.

By pure hours? Zachtronics Solitaire Collection for iOS. Most of the time I only have a few minutes when I’m on the go, and those are damn good solitaires.

If franchises count then the Skate trilogy because I ended up hyperfixating on it. The controls are perfect and the vibes (especially in the first 2 games) are immaculate and really being me back to the early 2000s. They’re the main reason I have a PS3 that I use regularly tbh.
If not then Minecraft Java Edition because it’s so easy to play with friends and there’s tons of mods and ways to play the game.

It has to be Halo MCC for me. After clearing Halo 2’s Legendary i played so much of that. I was at 40 hours with Halo 2 Legendary, now i’m at 240 Hours and trying LASO with friends. I think a lot of that can be attributed to just having a friend group i jive well with when playing it with them though.

The last of us part II remastered for pc. I hadn’t played the original since I didn’t own a PlayStation.

Honestly, you’re fine just watching a YouTube video imo. The second game is so much better in every way

Honkai: Star Rail. I love turn-based RPGs, and it continues to have the best turn-based combat I’ve ever played. The main story also has my favorite fiction trope (a shake-up of a pantheon) and it’s got amazing music, so it just hits a lot of really good spots for me.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I liked taking my time exploring the beautiful world. I did my best to see and collect everything.

This is my answer as well!

For those who come after!
Also, uh, watch out for Maelle? She’s got a nuclear device stuck on the tip of her rapier, don’t let her stick you with it.
