Including DLC, micro transaction purchases, etc. If you got a game for free, please also list your non-infinite next best.

For me it’s Team Fortress 2. $100 total spent on hats and the Orange Box back in the day, 4200 hours plus of fun, meaning 2.3¢ AUD per hour. Initially I thought DotA2 would be my best but it turns out I’ve spent a lot more money in that game than I thought…

My worst is God of War: Ragnarok. Bought it full price for $95 AUD, only played 2 hours and hated it, meaning $47.50 AUD per hour.

    Best is either Minecraft, Counter-Strike or Mirror’s Edge. I’ve got 3k+ hours in the first two, but also something like 600 hours in Mirror’s Edge which is nonsense for a game that’s 4 hours long on the first playthrough.

    Worst is almost certainly PUBG. Bought it to play with friends, realized I hated the entire concept.

      Now that you mention it I also got PUBG to play at an afterwork event with colleagues. Might be down there with GTA in terms of value for me.

      Sounds like mirrors edge is a real comfort game for you. Unless you Speedrun it or something😅

        Bought Mirror’s Edge because I liked it, but yeah most of the hours are speedrun related lol

            Nah, I was never that dedicated. If anything, I treated speedrunning that game more like it was an extension of the existing game mechanics so it was more about finding a new way to enjoy the game rather than just playing for the sake of speedrunning. Unconventional, but fun.
