I haven't stopped playing Overwatch since it came out, still getting on with friends 2 or 3 nights a week and putting in a few hours (and I'm still awful lol). I also still log on to Battlefield 1943 from time to time to get in a few matches.

I also collect retro games so there is a good bit of time there. If anything I've struggled to find new games that I'd want to play more than something older and cheaper. I just picked up Dark Messiah for like 2 bucks and its amazing, hard to justify a $60-70 purchase when you can find deals like that on older but still great games.

I saw a lot of the playtime goes to still updated online games like Fortnite and Apex, but I wonder if part of it is that as time goes on there is a bigger pool of games to play. Sure there will always be cutting edge graphics and gameplay, but many people wouldnt be able to tell which indie dropped in 2010 and which dropped in 2024.

The Long Dark, came out of early access in 2017, so I got the game earlier than that and it still has updates.

Dishonered 1 and 2, a playthrough every year, Witcher 3, Mad Max, MGS V, Prey, theres tons of good games to play a second, third or yearly playthrough.

With that username I'm not surprised! Whose your main? I play Ganon and Sheik.

Rocket League has been a big one for me recently. But I've actually been making an effort to play new stuff besides that, like Alan Wake 1&2, Cyberpunk, and Baldur's Gate 3.

Almost exclusively Final Fantasy 14 with some Warframe and a smattering of older puzzle games.

How are you still playing Overwatch? They shut it down when 2 came out, I thought. I no longer have it in my library even.
