I rarely replay games once I finish them, but a few left me an itch to replay them with this mode : Dishonored 2, and Styx: Shards of Darkness
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey- though I don’t think I finished it. But definitely had fun playing around with builds. Dark Souls, same thing. Generally it feels weird to start a game loaded with kit so I’m more likely to just do another playthrough.
Huh… Horizon Zero Dawn might actually be the only one I ever played a full NG+ file of. I’ve played some Souls NG+s but I don’t ever finish them.
Some that come into my mind:
Sekiro Devil May Cry 1 & 3 Wonderful 101 Armored Core 6
I think these games are better on the subsequent playthroughs. Sekiro also has that itch no other game is able to scratch.
Hello,
Maybe consider crossposting to [email protected] ? You’ll probably get a lot of answers there too
I like collecting achievements, so if it’s a requirement, I usually do. The last one was Silent Hill 2, which kind of doesn’t count. You start with nothing, and the only difference is that items appear when they weren’t there on the first run. I’ve done the FromSoft Soulsborne games, but Elden Ring had so much content that I had to take a long break before going back. The ones I’ve enjoyed most though are games that have upgrade systems that you can’t complete without a ton of grinding, like Ratchet and Clank (plus NG+ has the RYNO). They just can’t be super-long. I’m probably never replaying Persona 5, just because of the time commitment.
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Nier Automata
- Fatal Frame 1-4 (On different platforms)
- Silent Hill 2-4
- Bioshock (First One)
- Yoshi’s Island
- Resident Evil 5 & 6 (My friend and I think they’re hilarious for whatever reason)
- Persona 5
- Ace Attorney (Not all of them, but a handful I’ve returned to)
- Ultra Despair Girls
- Until Dawn
Chrono Trigger
Including the earliest possible opportunity to get to the end boss?
Chrono Trigger
Dark Souls.
You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.
Quite a few. I’ve never finished a Fromsoft game, but I did finish Hellpoint which is another soulslike. When I was a kid I replayed Jak 3 so many times I lost count. Recently I played through Spider-Man 2018 and Miles Morales and then immediately went and did NG+ on both of those because they’re so fun. I’m excited for Spider-Man 2 to come out on PC.
Is there a major difference between the newer Spiderman games, mechanically, or are they just longer stories/campaigns in some? (and by “newer” I mean since 2018, the last one I played was on the PS2 I think 😅)
Dark Souls 3, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Dishonored 2, Prey 2016, Batman Arkham City.
There are a bunch more that I would’ve done if they had NG+, but alas.
Ghost of Tsushima Shadow of TR (cuz new gamemod opened after 1st run) AC:Mirage(new permadeath mode) Demon’s souls & EldenRing (for plat only)
darksouls2 might have been the weakest entry in the souls series, but its ng+ / ascendic mechanics are awesome.
i heard sekiro ng+ is also awesome because the powerup comes less from gear and mostly from how much you improved since beating the game.
so you breeze trough most of the game entirely on your skill.Elden Ring. Although that’s only because I didn’t want to start a whole new character for the DLC. Does Nier Automata count? All the extra playthroughs are kind of just part of the complete experience of the story. Then there’s harder difficulties of roguelikes like StS.
Beyond that, I tend to not end up being that interested in a NG+ unless there’s something substantially different about it like new story beats or I can play a cool build.
Elden ring. Got to NG+7 before it became miserable and I had to stop.
