Deathloop's story basically means that you're replaying the game because you failed your previous attempt at escaping. You can play it more than once, the game encourages you to, and I kinda want to, but I never did because I already won. In a lot of games replays are basically just "fresh starts" and here, they are part of the story, and ironically, that's what's stopping me.

13 sentinels: aegis rim
Penumbra Overture, never finished it but was fun exploring and figuring out stuff.
For me pretty much every single linear / story type game. Even great ones I sometimes attempted to have another run but would immediately get bored and ended up quitting. They just don't really offer anything to me to make it worth it. Even a lot of New Game Plus modes aren't cutting it, because they're typically just some extra items or abilities.

OneShot is very much based on its story and immersion. Contrary to the title’s implication, there’s not so much potential for risk during play, even if it’s themed that way, but it does feel like any efforts to repeat the game would ruin some of the immersive thoughts present.

Scanner Sombre
Interesting main mechanic, good storytelling, but once you finish it, that's pretty much it.
Maaaaaaybe replaying the first room you start in with all the upgrades, since you can see more clearly, but that's it.

Escape Simulator definitely fits the bill.
It's great, but all about the discovery.
I'm surprised no one has said Outer Wilds. Amazing story about space exploration.

The vanishing of Ethan carter
I absolutely loved Recursive Ruin and I'm still waiting to forget the solutions.
Midnight Suns was like that for me. The tactical combat was interesting and could have had replay value, but all the chores and conversations you have to do to progress the story made this a "no way" for a second playthrough. Absolutely worth it to go through once though, if you are into turn based combat games and marvel characters.

Danganronpa, honestly any of them. Once you know the story, who the killers are, and the twists, it quickly loses it's charm. The only way afterwards is to watch other people play it for the first time.
I would say Stillness of the Wind definitely falls into this category. A beautiful game about life and loss.
Observation and Deliver us the Moon
the desolate hope. its a very unique robot themed game, but you only really need to play it once.
