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

An updated version of Clive Barkers Undying
There was this game by Maxis called Sim Town. It was my first experience with sim games as a kid.
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.

you can play it in your browser.
might also want to check out Sim Park as well. I enjoyed both.
Ah, the early SIM games were so comforting. Thanks friend.
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.
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
Get yourself a no backlight AA powered Gameboy advance then
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.
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.
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.
Depends on your needs, really.
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.
Halo 3. Peak online console, it was all downhill from there.
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.
RuneScape, but it also needs to be 2005.
Im doing this now. Playing on vidyascape and going through all the quests :)
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.
Game jam mods add new content
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)
You likely mean single player but I would love the cryptic mmos champions online and star trek online to be made in the offline/online playability you see now with things like no mans sky. So they can have events and be online but you don't have to worry about losing your game when the servers shutdown. Oh and it would just be great to have them updated in modern engines.
Firewatch.
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.
I reply the Starcraft campaigns at least once a year. Love those games
Still want to know why clicking the Terran Academy building plays and agonized scream
That was a weird sound choice
If you mean go back and play it from scratch, guild wars 2. Fuck. I had so much fun playing it in the beginning.
Guild wars 2 was magical during the beta. It felt so different than anything else at the time
Deus Ex
I know there’s a remaster, and I keep hearing that it’s ass. Can anyone confirm?
Counterstrike with my friends at the cafe 20 years ago
I'd like to replay satisfactory but that is like choosing to waste another 300 hours of life lol
Thst game is so incredibly well made
I'm on my 6th attempt to finish the game. I'm further than I've ever been, I just unlocked nuclear power and drones last night but went to bed before I started messing with either.
im only still on my first playthrough and at 300 hours and just finishing a massive 36x8 block of fuel generators running the nitro rocket fuel recipe. i chose this over nuclear because it seems that nuclear is massively inefficient by comparison albeit easier to set up but on the other hand i never have to touch my power again and i have 70kmw at my disposal.
That's pretty staggering. I hate moving fluids up long distances like that, so I've grown to expand those guys horizontally rather than vertically.
I built this a while back, but its the BFF (big fucking factory) that I'm most proud of, it's my current aluminum processing plant (built where your power plant is, coincidentally) that perfectly efficiently runs all 6 of the pure bauxite nodes into aluminum ingots.
Nitro rocket fuel is a gas so it doesn't need pumping which was pretty freaking magical to learn when I realized this
Ay yo?
Return of the Obra Dinn.
But I can't.
Because I already know the names and causes of death. 😭
I'm horrible with names, so I could probably play it through again like new, haha
I'm gonna try it again. I brick walked at a certain point like the witness.
