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?

Personally, any bigass AAA game that has a million different things to do. Like there's no way I'm playing the God of War sequel-reboot again even though I enjoyed it. Coming from someone who beat the original trilogy like 3 times each at least

More on topic though: Any adventure game for as long as you remember the solutions

I haven't even played the Witcher 3 DLCs.

I beat the the main game at one point but was so exhausted with the game I had to take a break. By the time I got back I didn't remember enough about the main game to play the DLCs, so I keep trying to replay it from the beginning.

I think I've made 4 attempts so far and end up stalling out about 10 hours in each time.

I get that. I tried playing the witcher 3 a few times now after the console update but the combat is too janky/dated.
