I want to try and play some more games. That feels more fulfilling if you play games that you can finish and be done with.

So what are some good games that have zero (or close to zero perhaps) replayability? I'll start with my own suggestions:

  • Return of the Obra Dinn: Amazing mystery/detective game. However once you've played it, you basically can't play it again as you remember the solution already and the challenge of the game is trivialized.
  • Chants of Sennaar: Really great game about deciphering languages. However, once again, by playing the game once, you'll remember the languages and the game has no challenge any more.
  • Outer Wilds: Mystery adventure game. There is some replayability as there are perhaps areas that you can still explore, but largely once you figure out the mystery and complete the game, there's not much more to experience. Some people speedrun the game though.

All of the above games I value extremely highly even though I only played them ~8-10 hours.

Do you have any others?

Out of all that I could've suggested, Ace Attorney series probably fits the bill the most

EDIT: Also, Lunacid! Finished it recently; what a beautiful experience it has been

EDIT2: Also, Beacon Pines! For the love of all that is holy on this bitch of a planet, please play it

And if you try ace attorney and liked it then I would highly recommend Ghost Trick by the same creator.

Yeah, I've yet to check it out

I have yet to play it, do you think it is better to go with the DS version or the Switch version?

This is not a joke question, I tried TWEWY on the Switch and I didn't like the controls.

Hehe, and there is me who has finished the trilogy about 3 times now.

[–] cafuneandchill 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I also replay the trilogy from time to time lol

lol that is fair, the only thing that I miss is being mind blown by the plot twist, but the OST and the charm makes it for it haha.
