Hello! I'm new here, and as I go through and add games to my collection, I would like to be able to add in the time that I've spent on them. The only problem is that not every game records the time you've put into them, and I am very very bad at time estimations.

Does anyone have any tips for how to get/estimate that information? I've got a lot of games that I've put time into but I've never recorded how much time that is.

Welcome!

Any kind of stat page on a game may have some indication of time spent. Sometimes the save file indicates time spent. Otherwise the only other thing I can think of is starting a timer on your phone for games/platforms that don't record time played :-/

Yeah, I think unfortunately that's all I can do. I'm doing my best to record how long I spend playing and comparing it to the amount of progress through the game I've made and estimating it that way, but it can be difficult for games where it takes longer for certain parts.
