Games I've replayed the most

• Trails of Cold Steel (I have 165 hours on Steam, 3 playthroughs. Plan on replaying it again for 100% completion before CS4 comes to PC)

• Trails of Cold Steel II (I have 262 hours on Steam, 4 playthroughs, my all time favorite game. I plan on replaying CS3 before CS4 comes out on PC, but I don't like CS3 as much as the first two Cold Steel games.)

• Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire (I've replayed the original game 3 or 4 different times, sank 200 hours into the remake and might replay it again. I must have 400-500ish hours on RSE total)

• Shadow of the Colossus (I have played it half a dozen times)

• Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 (I have like 200 hours sunk into this game)

• Mount & Blade Warband: 300+ hours across multiple different playthroughs. Played vanilla a bunch, then diplomacy, then Viking Conquest, then Gekokujo II, then Perisno, and then Prophecy of Pendor. A few months ago I began and completed a new PoP playthrough.

Skyrim

I spent so many hours playing Skyrim on PC, and then played it on the Xbox 360 when my PC stopped working. Problem with Skyrim is that you need to install like 300+ different mods to make it fun to play and to look good. A few months ago, I played Kingdom Come Deliverance, and got the urge to replay Skyrim again. Spent a whole week reading up on guides on how to install mods, carefully reading compatibilities notes, and making my own compatibility bash patches. It's just so much effort... only for all of your careful planning to not pay off as your game crashes while your are 20 hours into your playthrough and you don't know what's wrong. So I gave up.

Heroes of the Storm

I had 1,200 games played. I mained Abathur and I was so proud of my Abathur master skin. Then 2.0 hit and I quit. HotS was sooooo good. Was the only MOBA I ever got into.

Final Fantasy 12

12 is the only mainline FF game I managed to complete my subsequent playthroughs of. Maybe I should try the Zodiac Age remaster for new dual job system. I've tried replaying FFX like 3 or 4 times and always stalled out before the halfway mark.

Hearthstone

I really liked Hearthstone when it first came out. Signed up for the open beta and played it for several months after launch. The Goblins and Gnomes expansion was a ton of fun, but spelled the end of the game for me. You can't play Hearthstone competitively for free. You have to lay down money to get good cards, and the devs introduce more powerful cards (like Dr. Boom) with every expansion so you have to keep paying to remain competitive. After a while, it sucked to be a free player because you pretty much couldn't craft the cards you needed, because you only got dust from duplicates and the devs kept adding cards so it was rare for you to get duplicates... meaning that eventually you would have to just melt down your collection and commit to crafting one deck. Except then the devs started banning cards so RIP if your deck used those cards, now you can't use them in ranked or quick play.
