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
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
Chrono Trigger
Including the earliest possible opportunity to get to the end boss?
Elden Ring. Although that’s only because I didn’t want to start a whole new character for the DLC. Does Nier Automata count? All the extra playthroughs are kind of just part of the complete experience of the story. Then there’s harder difficulties of roguelikes like StS.
Beyond that, I tend to not end up being that interested in a NG+ unless there’s something substantially different about it like new story beats or I can play a cool build.
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.
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Nier Automata
- Fatal Frame 1-4 (On different platforms)
- Silent Hill 2-4
- Bioshock (First One)
- Yoshi’s Island
- Resident Evil 5 & 6 (My friend and I think they’re hilarious for whatever reason)
- Persona 5
- Ace Attorney (Not all of them, but a handful I’ve returned to)
- Ultra Despair Girls
- Until Dawn
both Resident Evil VII and Village.
Huh… Horizon Zero Dawn might actually be the only one I ever played a full NG+ file of. I’ve played some Souls NG+s but I don’t ever finish them.
Some that come into my mind:
Sekiro Devil May Cry 1 & 3 Wonderful 101 Armored Core 6
I think these games are better on the subsequent playthroughs. Sekiro also has that itch no other game is able to scratch.
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.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey- though I don’t think I finished it. But definitely had fun playing around with builds. Dark Souls, same thing. Generally it feels weird to start a game loaded with kit so I’m more likely to just do another playthrough.
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Sundered
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- Ori and the Will o the Wisp
- Prototype and Prototype 2
- Crackdown
I miss Crackdown. I wish 3 wasn’t stuck in development hell for a few years and then released with nothing that was originally advertised for it.
Heaven’s Vault! Several times, because each new game plus adds new words so you just learn more!
Chrono Trigger
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.
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
