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 value for dollar is definitely Elite Dangerous. I bought it for 30 bucks and have around 1400 hours in it.

    Worst value game that I bought and have played might be Cyberpunk 2077. I pre-ordered and have maybe four hours total played. I keep saying I need to go back and give it a proper go now that it’s fixed but nah.

      Yeah I know that feeling… I was so excited for Hogwarts Legacy, but it kept crashing on my PC every time I paused the game. I just stopped playing eventually, and never touched it again, even though it’s patched now. There’s like an emotional wall there or something lol

        Hogwarts Legacy is another one I had a lot of fun with. The story is just alright but the vibes are honestly immaculate. I hope you go back and give it another shot, because it’s just a fun game that I personally had a blast with, even if some of it was surface level.

        Also I liked the lighting effects on my keyboard while playing. It’ll cycle your house colors during general gameplay, and it’ll flash with the different spell colors during combat. I thought that was a nice touch.
