I probably have more hours in Diablo 2 than any other game.
I didn't buy the remaster because I value having a life now.

Dwarf Fortress.
I would constantly miss meals and sleep to keep playing. Sometimes multiple days at a time. Went like 36 hours without eating or sleeping until someone popped into vent and asked what I was up to and after hearing me talk about the Fortress the asked when the last time I ate was...
First it was Call of Duty in the mid 2000's. Then it was WoW. It all culminated in EVE Online. Untold hours spent in those games.
I have zero game addictions now. It just doesn't hit like it used to.
I'm more into stuff like Dwarf Fortress, Cogmind, and Caves of Qud now.
Warframe, I have more than 3000 hours on it but I haven't touched it in years
Mu online.
I remember one summer break I slept 2 hrs a day and played while eating. Basically my life revolved around that game. I got to top of the server and realized wtf am I doing. I kind of glad it happened because it was the start of breaking free from addiction.
So many, it's generally how it goes for me as I mostly play one game at a time. But some that have REALLY made me dive deep and play many hours a day for long times: Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Satisfactory, Forza Horizon 4 and 5, Rocket League. There are many more, these are just what I thought of at the moment.
And the one I still play a ton and see no end in sight is Warframe, such a good game, and both the community and the devs are awesome so even after getting 1,200 hours in two years I'm still giddy about it and have so much fun.
For the entirety of high school I only played Team Fortress 2, League of Legends, and Melee. I have 2000+ hrs in TF2 and probably more in the other two. Then in college I was on the Overwatch team and played in the college league, I have a bit under 5000 hrs in that.
No games I have come close to that kinda play time and none probably will since I have less time to game and Iβve kinda been losing interest in gaming in general.
Community server TF2 was the absolute peak of game-playing in my life. I was laid off from a job in the late β00s and just played on a server with a bunch of people I loved for 40+ hours a week. I found a shady key guy I would send money to and heβd give me keys for a buck a pop. Got an unusual towering pillar that eventually bought me an index, a million years later.
Love that game.
Horizon series
Mass Effect series
Borderlands series
Way back in the day it was Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC), Star Wars The Old Republic, then Guild Wars 2
Tetris Effect Master Mode
Have you tried Tetris The Grand Master 4? Came out a just a few months ago.
I'm sorry/you're welcome.

Battle pass shit aside, I really like Apex Legends. Probably has some dark patterns but still I really like their gunfights.

Terraria was like absolute heroin for me.
I bet I have thousands (thinking 5000+) hours on the original counterstrike. Steam says I have like 12.6 hours. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
No Man's Sky. Keeps drawing me in.
Homeworld 1, 2, Cataclysm. Forget the latest one.
Need for Speed Most Wanted.
Horizon 1 & 2
So many more...

I spent a full year of my life playing Grim Dawn.
Path of exile for sure. Everytime there is a new league, i put a lot of hours into it.
Elden Ring opened up the whole FromSoft catalog for me, im playing Demons Souls now
The most severe was Warframe. Not the most hours, but the most hours in the shortest time. 200 hours in 2 weeks. No I didn't do anything else.
Other than that, Runescape, Minecraft, Baldur's gate 3 all have just deleted days. Runescape and Minecraft have deleted months if not a year of time.
