Cyberpunk 2077

Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X ()
Suitable for: Nomads, street kids and corporate players
Play time: 200 hours

Cyberpunk 2077 () is the latest time-eating game on our list. Based on the pen & paper role-playing game Cyberpunk 2020, it takes place 57 years later in the city of Night City. In terms of content, you slip into the skin of the protagonist V to start a new life in a dystopian future. You'll experience a fascinating story, whose course you'll influence through your decisions and actions.

The main missions alone easily eat up 30-40 hours of your time without you even realizing it. However, it's the other activities in Night City as well as the countless side missions that make Cyberpunk 2077 a time-consuming game. Furthermore, you'll have to play through Cyberpunk several times if you want to reach all the endings.

Apex Legends

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Suitable for: Fans of fast-paced shooters who don't want to deal with campers.
Play time: 500 hours

Apex Legends () is the only shooter among the presented time-eating games. In the Battle Royale principle, you jump out of a plane at the beginning of a round and first gather your equipment. In the course of the round, the playing field gets smaller and smaller until the last surviving squad wins.

Sounds like Fortnite at first - which is also a good time-eating game, by the way. On closer inspection, however, Apex Legens does a lot differently than the competition. For one, the Battle Royale shooter does without a solo mode. Instead, you fight exclusively in teams of two and three.

In addition, each team member selects one of eight playable legends , each of which has individual strengths and abilities. However, most abilities only really come into their own when you use them - in coordination with each other - as a team. Consequently, the game already eats up a lot of game time until you have the best squad combinations.

Once you've found a good team and got used to each other, there's no reason to stop. After all, in what other time-consuming game can you do something more meaningful than hunt for campers together?

FIFA 21 Ultimate Team

Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X
Suitable for: Soccer fans
Play time: every spare minute until the release of FIFA 22

If you love sports games and soccer, FIFA 21 () is the right game for you. Because the current FIFA offshoot is really well done by the developers of EA Sports. In addition, no new version of the long-term rival Pro Evolution Soccer was released this year, but only a comprehensive squad update. Even if you only play FIFA 21 offline with friends or try out the Volta and Career modes, the game will eat up several hours of your time.

However, FIFA 21 only becomes a time-consuming game with the FIFA Ultimate Team mode. In it, you develop your dream team and compete with players from all over the world. Once EA has you hooked, you'll be hooked on FIFA 21 for the rest of the season. From then on, you'll be fighting for the elite rank in the Weekend League every weekend or spending your time trading on the transfer market.

What used to be Lego is now Minecraft. Without a predefined goal, you explore caves, fight monsters and build buildings, contraptions or small cities. Everything you need to do this you make yourself from small blocks ("Craft"). Before that, however, you'll have to find and mine the necessary raw materials in the open world ("Mine"). It's up to you whether you prefer to play in the first-person or third-person perspective.

The playing time of Minecraft is difficult to express in a number of hours. Once you feel at home in the colorful pixel world, time no longer plays a big role. Quickly build or adjust something here and there, and before you know it, it's deepest night. Thanks to the endless creative possibilities, Minecraft is one of the most extensive games of all time.
