1490 hours (all solo). Absolutely love the procedural map, exploration, and the gameplay loop in general.

Will play through last boss (was Yagluth, now the Queen) then end up starting a new game. As said earlier:

While I absolutely love the exploration, once the "final" boss is complete I don't see the point in exploring/accumulating anymore with no purpose/goal. Thus, I start a new game.

Sometimes I only play a game until I defeat Bonemass and then start a new game. I find the biomes after the swamp decidedly less fun ... partly because of difficulty, partly because I get tired of searching mountain after mountain or plains after plains looking for a vegvísir (multiple times have found Moder's or Yagluth's altar by chance before finding one), and partly because I get tired of ferrying ore back to base.

I'm hoping that "Hildir’s Quest" and the promised difficulty settings will breathe some new life into the later biomes for me. But if not, I'm perfectly content to continue to play through Bonemass over-and-over ... I can easily enjoy 100 hours doing just that. Once upon a time, that in itself would be considered a "9/10 great game" ... 100 hours, three major bosses to defeat, and only $20!
