There are a few exceptions like Elden Ring, and Witcher 3, but my library playtime is dominated by games I paid very little for. Factorio, Stardew, KSP1, etc. Currently playing Hollow Knight and having a blast (when I’m not being demolished by a boss).
I haven’t really even dipped my toes into modding even at the numbers I’ve hit, though all the games I’ve sunk the most into have healthy modding communities.
Maybe it’s just that the modding aspect keeps the community strong which makes it easier to find videos, stramers, shared experiences, and to get help etc.
If you like Hollow Knight, check out the Ori games if you haven’t already. They’re on sale on Steam right now for super cheap. I didn’t enjoy them as much as Hollow Knight, but they’re a lot of fun in my opinion. Very satisfying gameplay.

You can add a couple hundred more hours if the games have a healthy modding community.

Oh you should check Stardew mods out! There are plenty of them that are very lore-friendly without being game breaking.
I can’t speak to the others, though. Kinda avoiding Factorio because I know I’d lose months to it.

Yes, Ori was a great series! Though I started with the second and had a hard time going back to the first with how great the second one looks.
I actually made the same comment almost verbatim (for the first sentence at least) about a week ago to someone else who enjoyed Hollow Knight.
