Post your Steam Replay 2025

[Chefofrats]

I lost interest in Civ VII once I had all my achievements. The recent updates have not inspired me to go back to the game - naval play never interested me. I liked the game very much for the 400+ hours I played it, but then it lost almost all replayability for me. The winning conditions make every game feel the same, and the Modern age is so boring it's insufferable - with the whole map uncovered there is no sense of adventure any more. If there was an option to end the game at the end of the Ancient or Exploration era, I'd probably still be playing. For some reason I kept playing Civ VI for 9 years - with over 3000 hours played by the beginning of 2025.

I do most my gaming on my console, which is why my steam annual report is so simple.

it's not perfect, but close, it's the game that has captivated me the most since Witcher III... So yes, one of the best I've ever played.

Thx you convinced me to buy it while there was less than an hour left on the $52 Can sale... I was due for a personal Christmas gift

Have to say that I smiled when I saw yours. I always wondered if I would go gamedev route instead of enterprise software development I ended up in - would I still play game I work on in my off-time. I guess it works for you. I just hope you're not spending your time on your private Steam account searching for bugs, but just having fun.

Civ is my fifth highest ranked game

I've got a few games I'm looking at to play over winter break. I was thinking of getting a month of Xbox Game pass to play both Clair Obscur and Outer Worlds 2. They both seem like games I would enjoy playing through once but don't necessarily need to own.

One of those cases of, "loved the game so much, I joined the company"!

Before Mohawk, I was a cloud solution developer for one of the biggest global accounting firms. So yeah, I feel where ya coming from.

I am actually shocked Civ 4 didn't make the cut somehow. Funny enough Civ 6 is on here solely from me revisiting it in January while I waited for 7 to release. If it isn't obvious, I play in smaller sessions. I only have 625 hours in Civ 7 right now.

Heavily skewed because I was almost exclusively playing offline from May through November.

I expect some changes in 2026. Vicky II and EU4 are in particular danger of being replaced by their successors, although Suzerain has an upcoming expansion that may keep it in the Top 10. Beyond that though, it's hard to say. Probably some other new games (maybe even including Civ VII), probably at least one older game being rediscovered, maybe a sequel to a game I used to play, the role that Tropico 4 filled admirably in January and February of this year.

Old World definitely has a chance of reappearing on that list, too, although I'm pretty sure I played it in late 2024, so it's not yet in the "rediscovery" category, but the "rotating in and out" category. I doubt I'll match Dale's 99% Old World stat though .

177 hours / 546 sessions... yes, I'm a modder

and yes, modding walls reached in less than 2 months on this version.

I've got Transport Fever 2 in my Steam cart, debating if I want to go for it. It looks like it has the timeline progression that I miss from a lot of games that include transportation, and I'm hoping it's not too fiddly about signaling, I tend to prefer a bit higher-level than games where the player is a signal engineer.

I'm also curious if it has a decent and configurable level of challenge. I found Cities: Skylines (the original, haven't played the sequel) to be too "blank slate, build what you want", and not enough challenge, and am concerned Transport Fever might also be too forgiving. It's a fine balance, but I like for failure to be an option.

But Transport Fever 2 is definitely one that I look at and think, "this might be the transport game that I play the most since the Railroad Tycoon games". Whichever game that ends up being will become one of my favorites.

I think this sale is also going to be the one where I finally pick up Transport Fever 2. I also fell into Railroad Tycoon series and one of the games I fell in love with for a while was Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon. Railway games are fun but having multiple venues of transport was a nice twist. I would like to have at it again.

I like it a lot, but it's mainly a sandbox, I mean there could be some challenge at the beginning depending on the difficulty level, but there will always be a point where you start to gain more and more money until it gets irrelevant.

It's also a bit different to what you're used for supply/demand. Signals are simple. One of the great option is that you can slow or stop the calendar.

On a side note I think Transport Tycoon (and OTTD) are very good challenger to the whole civ series when it comes to my global playing time.

Here's mine ... Additional games were Civ3 and Zoombinis. 535 hrs in Civ7, so far.

Everyone's is so unique. I'm a weirdo that did most of my playing in June lol.

And yeah I've pretty much played only Civ 7 but I'm also on a MacBook which i bought earlier this year explicitly to play this game. To be fair, I probably have more hours playing Oblivion Remastered on my Xbox.
