What games do you enjoy replaying?

[lexluthermiester]

Continued from another thread;

i was mainly just curious about any game whether finished or not what you enjoy replaying the most, nostalgia aside. but we are starting to get off topic lol so i dunno

Secret Of Mana(SNES), Crystalis(NES), Super Metroid(SNES), Command & Conquer 3(PC), Legend Of Zelda 1(NES). That list doth go on... and on...

 

[Sithaer]

Mass Effect serie, already played all of the 3 x2 times and plan to do a third one with the legendary edition, I'm just a fan of the whole ME universe in general.

Serious Sam games, usually I replay first and second encounter every few years.
2016 Doom/Eternal is also a game I sometimes fire up and play a map or two just for the fun of it.

Tomb Raider reboots, played the 2013 and Rise 2 times and Shadow once but plan to do a second play at some point.

I won't mention grind/RPG games cause those can have near endless replay value cause of the different chars/builds,etc.
Borderlands 3/Diablo 3 falls into that category too and thats something I still play since their relase with some breaks here and there.

Probably theres more but right now those came to my mind.

Excellent topic!

-All Splinter Cell titles (though the first one has had 5 playthroughs, and Chaos Theory 4 completions)
-Skyrim: 4 playthroughs for 1,089 hrs
-RTW: 10 playthroughs (approximately 2,000 hrs)
-Total War Rome 2: 4 playthroughs for 1,240 hrs
-State of Decay 2: 5 playthroughs for 677 hrs

There are at least another 35-40 I’ve played twice and will certainly go back to at some point.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Played 7 Days to Die for about 4900 hours, can count how many times I've started a new map which is like a new play thru

There are of course quite a few games that I've replayed throughout my life but I won't bother listing them all. I think a game that I will always play and complete once every 3 years or so is Chrono Trigger. The rest are basically games from my childhood, which mostly consists of JRPGs.

 

[puma99dk|]

Hmm

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst
Mafia: Definitive Edition
Mafia II
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Grand Theft Auto IV
Life is Strange
Life is Strange: Before The Storm
The Saboteur
Sleeping Dogs

Note sure if there is more there properly are but it also heavly depends on my mood.

I will make an exception for tomb raider reboots actually, I did enjoy those a lot yeah.

oof I guess I do have time for replaying games after all cause I did forget about one... Warcraft 3 RTS... LOL. replayed it so many times over the years...

If you mean replaying from beginning to end, I hardly have any game that I replay like that these days. I do dive back in most of my game library rather frequently, but mostly for "snippets" of play, like for example HL2 EP2 just for the final fight against striders in White Forest (I just love that car lol).

However, there are some games that I have bothered to replay at least once and that I wouldn't mind playing again:

Resident Evil 2: mostly for the different storylines, but I do enjoy applying some mods to it too (like that "X gon' give it to ya" mod that I just found too funny)
Dust: An Elysian Tail: The story is so-so, but I liked some concepts of it.
X-Wing Alliance and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter: I'm a Star Wars fan, enough said. I'd add Jedi Academy, but the game's outdated graphics engine kinda makes it a pain sometimes (mostly for not supporting 1080p natively).
Metro games.
Serious Sam: SS4 was in some aspects kinda underwhelming, but killing half a universe is always fun (and wow, doesn't that sound like a psychopath?), specially when it's done for the noble purpose of protecting your home. And the previous entries in the franchise have their own appeals.
Hyper Light Drifter: the pixel art caught me and then the game kept me with its combat concepts, the music and what I could glimpse from its story. Somewhat fast-paced sword fights, with some good old firearms thrown into the mix, too.
Half-Life franchise: Every once in a while, while I wait for the third and final part of the story.

I read that between this game and stardew valley, it caused this one guy to quit his job, buy some cheap farmland and start a life living off the land. always found it fascinating, makes me want to play Dust lol apparently it reminded him life is short or something, not sure what about that particular game made it click that he wanted a change in life, but I have always wanted to get around to playing it.

I think a game that I will always play and complete once every 3 years or so is Chrono Trigger.

That one is in my top ten! There are a number of very cool mods for it over at RomHacking.net
My two favs are below.

ChronoTrigger+ by TheGreatBen

Chrono Trigger+

This hack adds a ton of cut content back into the game, allows access to previously unexplorable are

So much fun to be had from this masterful game mod. Top of the morning to you Ben!

Chrono Trigger Schala Edition by Fauntleroy

Schala Edition

This hack alters events of the game so that Schala of Zeal is rescued as part of the normal course o

www.romhacking.net

Another masterful game mod that take the game in new and fun directions.

 

[EzioAs]

@lexluthermiester I didn't even know there were these "expansion" mods for the game. Neat.

 

[Solid State Soul ( SSS )]

I like to replay liner single player games with great game play, such as character action games like Devil May Cry, third person shooter like Gears of War, and first person shooters like Wolfenstin new order ( also new colossus is great shut up and go play it! ) .
I tend to skip replaying open world games and RPGs cause they take so long to open up to a state where you have unlocked everything for the game play which is mostly halfway trough the game till you are upgraded to play the game to its fullest potential, but thats my take on this matter

 

[lynx29]

I have to add another replay game to my list, woops... Stronghold on PC, originally came out in 2001, has a HD version now that I play... i usually do custom battle mode on it. the nostalgia is strong with this one... I can still smell the original packaging "new smell" of the Stronghold box. man those were some good ******** days. i miss those days so much, gaming has too much "noise" these days, and im not sure what i mean by that, but there was something special about no cell phones, crappy dial up internet limiting what you could do, and crt monitors, no distractions, new smell boxes with awesome artwork on it and manuals... man they were good times. maybe im just weird, i dunno.

 

[lexluthermiester]

@lexluthermiester I didn't even know there were these "expansion" mods for the game. Neat.

They're totally unofficial of course, but they're solid fun! Romhacking.net is one of my favorite places on the net.

 

[oobymach]

Dead Space trilogy, will run on basically anything now and its the only EA game I actually like. Doom 3 is also quite good for an old game, and Quake 4 (which I can't get to run on win 10).

Also like replaying the old nes and snes mario games.

 

[delshay]

I'm a big fan of Dungeon Crawlers "hardcore" (Like Grimrock Series). Hook on this type of games. Like to play them without the aid of a map. If you get lost in this type of game, then it's your fault. Should be able to keep track of your bearing & sense of direction in your head & don't rely on aids such as a map.

Just bought this game released yesterday new for 2021, download pending.. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1511850/Dungeons_Of_The_Deep/
but I'm watching out for this one also March 2021 https://store.steampowered.com/app/823820/Fallen_Dungeons/

 

[xtreemchaos]

bioshocks, fallouts, metros, Dooms, skyrims and i think No Mans Sky will become one im enjoying it in VR. im hoping theres a cyberpunk in VR soon.

[Chomiq]

Fallout 1&2, finished both probably 5 or 6 times
Persona 4 - finished it twice or three times
Persona 5 - 4 full playthroughs if you count Royal

I don't usually replay single player games unless they're really good.

You still have a functional SNES/NES lucky you! Secret of Mana so many hours....

Diablo2 and Starcraft are my go to. I usually play Starcraft with a bunch of friends... our friendship are quite fragile after those sessions...

 

[Splinterdog]

Great topic!
Every TR game ever made
All HL games
Project IGI
No One Lives Forever
Max Payne 1&2
Far Cry series except 2
Watch Dogs series
Deus EX series
All GRID and Forza racing games

Replayability is a magic formula that not all games possess.

 

[Vayra86]

A strange amount of 2's in my list apparently, but these have been getting recycled on the regular the past five years. Sweet spot in time I think of good graphics and fantastic gameplay mechanics - not the completely misguided focus on graphics and 'experience' before gameplay you see more recently. I feel almost no urge to replay anything from 2019 or newer, and find myself revisiting other games of the near past as well that have since gotten (big) content updates.

Total War Shogun 2
Total War Warhammer 2
Baldur's Gate 2
DOTA 2
Shadow Warrior 2
Diablo 2 (yep... portable version runs anywhere and I carry it on my smartphone storage )
Path of Exile
Grim Dawn
MTG Arena
GR Wildlands (only as weather simulator when I am REALLY lazy af)
