It depends really, for MP games I usually put in 300 hours or so, Ultra Street Fighter 4 and Monster Hunter World I have 300 hours, but I have like 692 hours on a more replayable game like Skyrim if you combine the playtime I have on the normal and Special edition.

around 40 to 60 each week depending on how much work i got
There are a handful of games that I've logged more than 100 hours in. I tend to get bored. Right now, I am enjoying Tears of the Kingdom and approaching that burnout period. There are enough side quests to maybe keep me going for another week or two, but I am getting ready to just complete the main quest and stop playing. I almost never replay games because I'd much rather be exploring something new.
I tend to primarily play JRPGs and RPGs in general. The Xeno games have resonated strongly with me (all Xenoblade and Xenogears) over the past few years and each game has taken 100-200 hours each to complete. Hard to resist exploring the worlds in games like this and even the silliest sidequests can end up being a blast (and take you to unexplored areas of the map).
While I'm no completionist, it takes me a LONG time for me to finish games. Whether it be because I bounce between multiple games (Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom currently), I do nearly everything in a game, or I set a stupid challenge for myself. I like to kneecap myself for no discernible reason in video games and TTRPGs. I'm attempting a 4 (but might be 3 soon) heart run in Tears of the Kingdom on my first run through. Why? Shrug
Ideally I will look for games that will keep me interested for hundreds or potentially thousands of hours such as Path of Exile or modded Minecraft. While I do enjoy a good singleplayer story as well, that sort of stuff is usually something I'll do every couple of years. I enjoy having multiple high time sink games to come back to and and cycle through in periods. Also a big reason why I used to play so many MMORPGs.
I've got a few games I sink tons and tons of hours into, mainly Skullgirls, Them's Fightin' Herds, Splatoon 3, and Slay the Spire. I'd like to make more time to finish story-driven stuff though.

I find when I get a "fever" for a game I spend 20 to 80 hours on it. (Exception being AoE, I've played that game for 15 years and I'm not stopping) The reason I have clocked more than 300 hours in some games is that I come back to that game many times, like Civ 6, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, Transport Fever, etc.
