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

Elden ring. Got to NG+7 before it became miserable and I had to stop.

Including the earliest possible opportunity to get to the end boss?

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.

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

Ratchet & Clank, Rogue Legacy, inFamous 2, The Last of Us

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Hey! Rogue Legacy is cheating. You have to play new game +5 at least to say you best the game.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

I don't know if Ys Origin counts, but I really liked how each character had a unique twist on the same events.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

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.

Hello,

Maybe consider crossposting to [email protected] ? You'll probably get a lot of answers there too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Sekiro and Hi-Fi Rush

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

both Resident Evil VII and Village.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Dark Souls.

You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

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 😅)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Heaven's Vault! Several times, because each new game plus adds new words so you just learn more!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

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.

factorio, hell let loose, zomboid, skylines I

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Isn't Hell Let Loose PvP? Does that actually have NG+?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 13 hours ago

true..... but you could say that about anything, just trying new strategies
