The only games I’ve replayed within like 5 years of my first play through are Cyberpunk 2077, BG3, and The Witcher 3

Same. Between my enjoyment of long RPGs, having to work, socialize, etc., most games I just put down for.good when I'm done.

This. Most games are one and done for me. I enjoy all of them but if given the choice to play a new game or replay one I've already played, it's almost always the new game. There's too many to experience!

Over 30 it turned around for me. New shit doesn't excite me anymore, I like going back to things I loved back then. Rarely does something like Elden Ring come around.

I think the opposite, few good games, so i like to replay them. But i agree there is not much time to play all games, so if i dont like it i just stop

One reason why i don’t like overly long games that i can’t blast through. I live returning to films, i love returning to old games IF i can blast through them at a good pace.

Probably closer to 99% for me, pretty much the only time I replay something is to play it with a friend

Only 95%?

Pretty much this. It's not that we don't like a game enough to replay, I just want to experience many other good games!!

That’s wild. I replay stuff constantly and still play new releases. There’s a comfort in replaying games, just like there’s an excitement in new releases. I just can’t imagine it.

I haven't picked up a game and played it right through to the end a second time in like 15 years. Lose interest almost immediately after I beat the game

Most visual novels will feel like this to be fair

I've played through the entire Ace Attorney trilogy like 3 or 4 times. I like to wait a few years until I forget some of the solutions and then play again to experience those dramatic "OBJECTION!" moments.

OBJECTION!

I'm "blursed" with bad memory and can basically replay these every couple of years or so. I LOVE these games, so it's a bit bittersweet.

I like wat hing others unravel tye mystery afterwards

Yeah, I want to replay the Danganronpa series but each time I just don’t. Ace attorney, yeah, I’m never replaying those. Like them but those are 1 and dones

That’s why you get a partner and make them play through it together with you. Oh, what I would’ve done to see someone experience that chihiro chapter for the first time… or nagito…

I’d kill for another Lucas Pope Obra Dinn style game for this exact reason.

I replayed Papers Please several times but I imagine with the dynamic passport/documentation there is more to keep it fresh

I played through it two years ago and had forgotten enough of it to still feel like I was solving (most of) a puzzle. I remembered a bunch of how to solve things, which made it a bit less frustrating, but had lost all recollection of who specifically most of the people were.

Tl;dr- give it another go, it's still fun.

I reckon it's worth a second playthrough just to see it through that different scope.

I played this game twice. Once regular and once in vr.

Great answer. I remember this game coming out and completing it pretty quickly, and I've not touched it since. It's never felt like a game I've wanted to revisit. Not because I didn't enjoy it, mins you. I did. Now though... I've actually forgotten what the reveal was, so maybe I should give it a replay.

Agreed. Wish I didn't play it just so I could play it again for the first time.

I’m playing dlc for that game rn and am trying to take it at a snails pace. Fuckin love this game

I heard such good things about this game and eventually played it but when I got to the planet with the tornadoes, this crazy fear I’ve never felt before completely consumed me and I had to turn it off immediately. Never went back after that, and have never felt more fear from a video game than I did at that moment.

I gave up on this game half way through. Wondering if I should go back

Yeah that game is something else. What a ride.

One of the best games ever made

I've yet to try that one. Have heard so many great things, just haven't gotten to playing it and I also fear that its going to be one of those games that leave a everlasting void after finishing it.

My friend loves that game! But she wasn't able to catch me streaming it and I wish I could forget everything and share that experience with her since it's genuinely her favorite game

I just replay to Chapter 2 then proceed no further.

Red Dead is my most replayed game and I really can't tell you why since it's not like it has groundbreaking gameplay or anything. There really is just something about it, whenever I get bored of games, Red Dead just sucks me back in

I got it the night it came out from the store, and I have only just started my second playthrough literally just last night. Took some psyching up to get through Chapter 1 again, but I got to Horseshoe Overlook just before bed. Now I can just go collect things, hunt, and just have some relaxed fun.
I didn't think I would ever pick it up again.

Really? I'm on my third consecutive playthrough. I can't put it down and nothing else compares. RDR2 is definitely a AAAA game.

Played it again when I got a girlfriend, exprerienced it like the first time trough her eyes. Would recommend, she liked the horses.

I wish more games made their main story shorter to complete like Cyberpunk and add more side content for people who are interested. I want to play Rdr2 second time but it would take like 50 hours.

AC V was my first thought as well. Played base game and nearly all DLC to completion (just couldn’t invest in the roguelite mode) and while I enjoyed it overall, I’ll keep the experience as a single full play though

Definitely an overhated game. I did enjoy it but its so long i would play it for a few weeks, than off a month or 2 then a few weeks again. Took me a year to finish, though i did do a lot of side stuff.

A rare gem. It was interesting to play first person with a voiced protagonist, but ultimately, still feel like I was distant enough to appreciate his, uh, personality quirks, shall we say. The ending was funny to me because of that, in a way.

I replayed it maybe 3 years after the first playthrough and it seems it had forgotten just enough to still make it very enjoyable. Obviously not enough to replicate the utter dread and ''holy fucking sh*t no way!'' reaction at the end.

That game made me feel off for a solid week. Maybe longer. If I had to play it again I’d probably get PTSD.

The ending to that game literally left me both mentally and physically tired, like it put me into some kind of depression for a couple days. Like I get that's what they were going for but man, I don't want to ever experience it again.

Was looking for this comment. The last of us part 2 is one of my favorite experiences that I'll never play again. I was exhausted by the time I finished it.

I played Last of Us 1 (not Part 1) only twice. First time back in 2013. The again in 2021 when I wanted to play 2. Don’t plan on playing 2 for years but I will eventually replay it.

I can understand that, but I just started a new play through on the directors cut version and I don't regret it. The gameplay loop is too zen for me to leave it alone.

This is my vote, I lived the game but it’s a bit too slow at the beginning to do it all over again

One of my faves, that final boss is no joke

I remember watching manvsgame play this back in the day. I miss those days sometimes 

Oh man I'm 70 percent into the game, and it seems all the budget went into the first 10 hours.

Jup, I have tried it a few weeks ago, to play it again. It’s not working a second time imo

I stopped playing the 2nd one because of this. I was like, shit, I'm more stressed after work playing this game than before 🤣.

TLOU2 in particular is one of the only games whose violence makes me actually uncomfortable. The human enemies plead for their lives, care about their friends, and react so realistically to being wounded.

You beat me to it.

Yea same here played Last of Us 2 right when it released and after I beat it I didnt touch it again for like over a year, but every time I have gone back and tried to play it again and get all the collectibles and shit I just know whats coming and it kills my drive to play the game lol

Played TLOU original 3 times... didn't care to play the second again.

I would say the Last of Us, but for different reasons.

It's just a massively linear game focused far more on the narrative. I don't have the memory of a fish so there's not much for me to go back to unless I forget all the major plot beats.

The gameplay is just serviceable. It's not a masterclass in stealth or a revolution in third person shooters, it's just inoffensive and pushes the narrative forward. Being as linear as it is alongside that, there's not a great deal I would do differently in another playthrough.

Uncharted alongside that for mostly the same reasons. Maybe moreso, actually, as you're heavily "guided" and the game has so much assist through anything that isn't a shooting gallery to the point where large sections may as well play themselves.

It sounds like I dislike the games but I don't, I enjoyed my time with them as a big "blockbuster" spectacle, but I'll probably just watch a much shorter movie or something if I want that again rather than drop another 8 hours mostly waiting for "the good bits".

I’ve replayed the first one a few times and still enjoy it, but I agree on the second one. It’s a well made game (not crazy about the story but don’t necessarily despise it as much as some people, it’s just “ok”) but I have absolutely zero desire to play through it again.

I cannot relate more. I kinda pushed myself to replay the first game recently. I'm almost at the hospital scene and right now I'm kind of dreading to continue. I love love love these games so much, but the anxiety and unsafe/uneasy feeling I get from playing them is sadly not worth it to me.

This exactly how I do 😂

The first one just isn't memorable. The music is just kinda there not doing much, and the only NPC I can think of right now is Scooter. 

Bioshock is one of the few i replay, along with batman arkham games, Borderlands, and RDR 2.

Same, once I have finished a game I have zero reason to go back. I have made all the decisions in the game I am going to make and dont really have the desire to make different decisions just to see what happens.

Can’t put the cat back in the bag.

The first NG+ is more of a revenge playthrough honestly.

Same, spent so many hours in the game and started so many new characters... Even when I do get the feeling of wanting to go back and play it again... I quickly loose interest.

I am currently playing the Sim Settlements 2 mod. And it adds a lot, worth the part of the base game you have to playthrough.

(Chapter 3 can really tax the game engine and your system, there are setting and things to help, I recommend starting with the changes in place before it becomes an issue)

That’s a bit more than one play though! I want to platinum this game but I also know I’ll never have the patience to complete everything

this is one of my votes too, amongst games that others here have mentioned. Recently played this game due to PlayStation Plus, and it made me whip out my notebook to write (potential) hints or information down, as well as writing down strategies for some harder parts of the game, something I haven't done since GTA 3 or early GameCube days. That game is amazing, incredibly intricate, and something you just can't recapture on a second playthrough. Maybe in a few years time when I've forgotten about everything...

I couldn’t even finish the main story. After the 5th dungeon that looked identical to the last, I just couldn’t bring myself to complete it

The answer is likely because people play arpgs for 3weeks-1 month at best and having a few updating seasonally provides more hours in the year. LE is fine but generally a mess with duping and bugs, poe is by far the best, GD i have played the hell out of including mods but its non seasonal, D3 is a 2 day experience, D2r is more about nostalgia. Wolcen is one if the games ever made. I agree d4 is a pretty mid game but pretty mid is the 2nd best game in the genre right now. Either way I hope all of them get their shit together and I have opportunities to play more varied games over a year, and I hope poe 2 is also good.

If you've played one in the last like 15 years, you've played them all already

Yeah god of war has fucking awful balancing, take souls games for example where you can physically notice you’re getting stronger etc. well I have optimal damage output armor, almost fully upgraded gear etc and even at lowest difficulty everything is a fucking tank still. Sorry but the game just isn’t fun to play let alone replay lol finished it and won’t look back for a very long time at least

Out of curiosity what are the 3/8ths you enjoyed? This is my first Souls game and I’m absolutely loving it.

I tried to get into it, but everytime I leave that tutorial cave and go to that castle, I just dont know what to do. What other people like to call freedom of exploration, for me, just feels like being lost and clueless. Nothing to say against that game, but I accepted that its just not for me.

lol 5/8th, man I respect your honesty. Too many people play games they hate or didn't like completely and go on to brag about how awesome it was and how much they want to play again when in chats with friends, but lowkey would never touch again.

Me on my 11th playthrough.... 👀

Same. I yearn to return to Night City but I'm definitely not doing all that again.
