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

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.
Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I’ve finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.
Notable exceptions are:
- Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
- Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.
We’re on the same boat here, I’m a notorious “have to explore everything” player so often NG+ is boring but a few games still hooked. God of War from 2018 was a fun one. Also Witcher 3 and the best of all was Nier Automata but I have to admit, Nier Automata isn’t really a new game plus in this manner
Your notoriety precedes you, Tolstoy
Chrono Trigger
Including the earliest possible opportunity to get to the end boss?
Ratchet & Clank, Rogue Legacy, inFamous 2, The Last of Us
Hey! Rogue Legacy is cheating. You have to play new game +5 at least to say you best the game.
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Sundered
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- Ori and the Will o the Wisp
- Prototype and Prototype 2
- Crackdown
I miss Crackdown. I wish 3 wasn’t stuck in development hell for a few years and then released with nothing that was originally advertised for it.
Chrono Trigger
Hello,
Maybe consider crossposting to [email protected] ? You’ll probably get a lot of answers there too
A lot of Ys games. Certain Metal Gear games in a way have NG+ with carryover stuff.
More games need a solid NG+ that feels fun and rewarding.
I don’t know if Ys Origin counts, but I really liked how each character had a unique twist on the same events.
Elden ring. Got to NG+7 before it became miserable and I had to stop.
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 😅)
Sekiro and Hi-Fi Rush
Dark Souls.
You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.
Persona 5-It allowed me to do a much quicker play through without all of the grinding. Starfield-There were a bunch of new dialog options that were aware of you already playing through before, new gear and ship and ways to do things differently exclusively for new game plus. I hope other games start doing this.
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.
