I think this video showcases an interesting aspect of gaming that I never really thought about before. In their case, they play more games for a shorter amount of time vs spending a large portion of their time in few games.

Personally I'm on the side of spending more of my time in a select number of games. By far I have put no less then 3000-4000 hours in Minecraft. Logged by Steam, I got 1300+ hours in both GTA V and American Truck Simulator

More recently I've been really into Rocket League and Trackmania. These games are notable because I am constantly working to improve and get better at the game. As much replay-ability as much I find enjoyment in succeeding.

From time to time though, I do really enjoy getting into shorter, more story based games. Great examples being Portal 2, Road96, and Firewatch. What kind of gamer are you?

Most games I play are single-player. And even then, I hardly play videogames anymore these days. I'd probably average about 8-10 hours on a game over the course of a few years, with some outliers like Killing Floor 2 and Dawn of War (this is by far the most time I've ever spent playing a game, without 300ish hours across the expansions and mods).

I just generally don't have the time or energy to invest in playing something. Maybe I'll play for about 30 minutes before I have the sinking feeling of needing to be more productive.

While I'm no completionist, it takes me a LONG time for me to finish games. Whether it be because I bounce between multiple games (Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom currently), I do nearly everything in a game, or I set a stupid challenge for myself. I like to kneecap myself for no discernible reason in video games and TTRPGs. I'm attempting a 4 (but might be 3 soon) heart run in Tears of the Kingdom on my first run through. Why? Shrug

800 in dark souls 3 and elden ring, just over 100 in dark souls remastered and dark souls 2, and all the rest are pretty evenly distributed from 1 to 80

According to steam I have some games with 100 to 120 hours (Dead Cells, XCOM, Rogue Legacy 2 and Hades). I prefer story driven games to be 20-30 hours, but keep replaying short sessions of single-player roguelites.

I think I've played more than 120 hours on Magic Arena but don't have the hours tracked. It's one of those games that give you incentive for playing every day and grinding a number of wins, and I've done that for maybe 3 months, then got tired and dropped it. I like the idea of replaying a game and getting better at it, but not the log in and grind everyday part of online games.

100hrs max for RPG style games, typically 20-30hrs I would say

There are a handful of games that I've logged more than 100 hours in. I tend to get bored. Right now, I am enjoying Tears of the Kingdom and approaching that burnout period. There are enough side quests to maybe keep me going for another week or two, but I am getting ready to just complete the main quest and stop playing. I almost never replay games because I'd much rather be exploring something new.
