    Simply replay, or “replay as if it were the first time again?”

    The latter: Final Fantasy on NES

    The former: I never stopped replaying FTL and Into The Breach, and I always end up back on them
    yes, I’ve played ALL the overhaul mods for both ;D

    A lot of RPGs that I just don’t have the patience for anymore. Final Fantasy 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, Tactics. Vagrant Story. Breath of Fire. Legend of the Dragoon.

      Ever play Sim Tower or Sim Copter? Never really hear about them but I remember them being so fun

        For Sim Copter, my favorite was making a city in Sim City, then there was a way to place a military jet that would become a military chopper (usable missiles and all) in Sim Copter. I think either the first or last tile placed of this would become a military chopper.

        I also remember practicing landing a helicopter if the fuel ever ran out (pitch forward, then pitch back at the right time to force the rotors to spin up and slow your descent just right to be able to land softly).

        Then there was always driving around your own city and just destroying everything in Streets of Sim City.

        I didn’t, I did hear about them. I didn’t have much access. I think the next one I ended up playing was sim city.

    Wipe my memory and let me play Titanfall 2 for the first time again.

    If my memory isn’t getting wiped, then give me an opportunity to play Advance Wars 2 again. I know I can just emulate it, but it isn’t the same without the no backlight, AA powered Gameboy Advance

    To relive anew, Ico on the PS2. I could boot it up right now but it wouldn’t be like that first playthrough, my first foray outside of PC and Nintendo.

    Disco Elysium. I haven’t played the Final Cut version, but I’ve kept consuming DE related media and fanart. I know why I’ve been postponing it - lack of free time, and hesitation to re-thread your trip toward something special, and maybe realize it’s a bit more trivialized to you now, or just doesn’t have the same impact, and you’ve wasted a good 30-40 hours for getting the same lessons and experiences you already had.

    Yet, I’ll gladly waste 30-40 hours thinking over it. I’m weird.

      Any decision-driven game needs to be replayed at least once exploring other choices. After doing a playthrough as Harry, I had to do one as Raphael.

          I guess needs don’t really factor into my video game consumption. But I do like exploring the range of content available, and you can’t really do that if you ignore the unexplored decision branches.

    I think SOMA. The first time I played it, I had no clue it was a horror game. It has such great atmosphere. A balance between mystery, adventure and horror, all while keeping it calm and slow.

      Halo 3 multiplayer is why to me modern multiplayer always feels like shit.

      I’m glad i experienced it but it hurts knowing I physically can’t anymore. MCC is missing a lot of what made the online experience what it was sadly, even though it’s very good for a lot of the other aspects. It just does not carry the same feeling at all, I don’t even really get THAT much of a nostalgia hit from it either.

    Outer Wilds.

    But I can’t. It’s a game you can only really play once. I keep trying to get the wife to play, so I can live it again through someone else’s eyes.

      I’m thinking to wait 15 years and then replay it. Maybe I’ll have forgotten enough by then.

      (I didn’t play echoes yet so I still have that going for me)

      I replayed it recently after first playing it around 2019 and found it just as enjoyable as the first playthrough.

      Tap for spoiler

      Since you now know the big mystery has a pretty mundane explanation, you’ll pay more attention to all the small details the devs put in. There was a lot of minor things I don’t remember noticing the first time around.
