Well, I've spent over 4000h on Rocket League, a game released in July 2015. I think it's a fair estimate that I've played more Rocket League in this decade than every other game I've played combined. So yeah, Rocket League.

Special shoutout to Elex who had at least a good try at giving me a new Gothic game this decade. Can't wait for the sequel.

And another shoutout to DQ11, FFXIII Saga and WoFF for keeping S Tier JRPGs alive.

How in the holy name of hell can you play 4000 hours of Rocket league. I thought 2500 hours of FF14 was insane and a good third of that is AFK time as it's an MMO and in four years playing that game took a toll on my mind. I can't imagine 4 years of rocket league at double that pace, has your brain not turned to mash potato?

Rocket League is a very cathartic game. I put it on whenever I need to have something to do with my hands but don't want to think much. So I put on music or my everlasting youtube queue and play away. I should mention that about half of those 4000h I played alone either in training or against bots.

I love playing with friends casually or fully concentrated in ranked. I like the thousands of customization items and since they introduced the Rocket Pass I'm compelled to play even more. I'm also very much engrossed in the esports side.

Rocket League basically completes my person. It gives me friendly social interaction without pressure, childish delight when getting new items, catharsis when just trying to relax and heart pumping entertainment when watching high level sports. At this point the game has become an integral part of my life and it's great because it is so simple, yet so fulfilling.

note: While I'm writing this comment I'm ingame in training with my watermelon themed car and I'm having the time of my life.
