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.

    Transformice. Played 5500 hours without spending a penny on it.

    Biggest flop in recent history for me would be mewgenics. Dropped 30 bucks on it for like 2 hours of enjoyment and 10 more of forcing myself to try to like it

      Oh, wow, that’s interesting. I was thinking of removing Mewgenics from my wish list because it’s rather pricey…

        It’s a very weird and unconventional and kind of gross game. I find that people either love it or hate it, and unanimously get sick of it after 30 hours. Imagine TBOI mixed with X-COM. It’s probably still worth trying, I liked it a lot personally, but I got it on a pretty good discount.

          Wow, well, that nails in the coffin for sure; I can’t stand TBoI’s atmosphere (I just think the environment is disgusting lol), don’t really care about arena shooters much, and I typically hate action points which is why I could never tolerate anything remotely X-COM-like for long. Thanks for the heads-up!
