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.
Chrono Trigger
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+.
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)
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.
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
