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 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+.
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
Hey! Rogue Legacy is cheating. You have to play new game +5 at least to say you best the game.
darksouls2 might have been the weakest entry in the souls series, but its ng+ / ascendic mechanics are awesome.
i heard sekiro ng+ is also awesome because the powerup comes less from gear and mostly from how much you improved since beating the game.
so you breeze trough most of the game entirely on your skill.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.
I don’t know if Ys Origin counts, but I really liked how each character had a unique twist on the same events.
Hello,
Maybe consider crossposting to !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works ? You’ll probably get a lot of answers there too
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.
Sekiro and Hi-Fi Rush
Dark Souls.
You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.
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.
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 😅)
both Resident Evil VII and Village.
Heaven’s Vault! Several times, because each new game plus adds new words so you just learn more!
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.
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
Isn’t Hell Let Loose PvP? Does that actually have NG+?
true… but you could say that about anything, just trying new strategies
