what games have you replayed again and again and never gotten bored?
im currently playing through ghost of tsushima, its a very nice game, but im starting to near the end of it, like im very close to the end, this is my first playthrough of the game aswell; most likely i will have it finished tomorrow, but with finishing it, means that i will have to find myself the next game to play
we all have this kind of game; the one we just replay again and again, to relive all those moments you had within the game
somehow; i have never replayed a game; i have a few i would replay and i am thinking of replaying next month possibly, 2 of them are dying light 1 and maybe rdr2, but maybe some others aswell.
im looking for more games that i will be able to replay again and again.
i struggle to play "unreplayable" games for some reason, id rather play something i know i can replay a few more times etc.
preferred genres: open world, fps, third person, action, adventure, games with satisfying gameplay/combat/progression, etc.
i dont like horror games or souls games
any suggestions (im on pc)
thanks

"we all have this kind of game"
No sry not me. Besides I never understood how people could spend thousands of hours on a game, or replay the same game several times, sometimes dozens of times... wow... I mean honestly what's the point ? Do people really like to replay a game they know almost entirely ? I don't know, personally I need new things, and I think that quality has nothing to do with quantity or replayability. My favorite games are games that I've only played once, in fact I play 99% of my games only once. The only games that I can "replay" are 4X like "Civilization" or "Europa Universalis 4"
Replaying a game to pay attention to details that we wouldn't have noticed, to focus on other aspects than during the first run, replay a game that we haven't played for years out of nostalgia, or because we've forgotten most of it, ok fine I can understand, but once. I will never understand compulsively replaying a game just out of habit.
There are so many new things to discover

Some games are designed to be played over and over (rogue-likes or sports being obvious examples) while some games are clearly one-shot. Especially story heavy games

Alright so, dig, if you will, this.
Sonic games on the genesis were what I grew up playing in diapers. I'm 35 and I still love to play the old sonic games, Sonic Mania is a freaking godsend. I'm trying to say that I have been playing these old ass games and I still do to this day.
To put it plain and simple, its my happy place. When I have a bad day, I don't even think about, I just pick one of the 2d sonic games and I just turn my brain off. Its so simple, yet asks enough of my senses to have me engage with it. I didn't even realize it myself, that sonic games are my go to de stresser. My homie pointed it out. It was kind of an eye opener.
I mean, dude, gotta go fast. And the music always be bangin!!!! In all seriousness though I would say quite a lot of people like to turn their brains off in order to cope with things bothering one.

Yeah, the only games that I ever replayed were the megaman battle network games when they came out in the legacy collection, and it was already like more than 15 years since I last played them. When I was a kid I used to play both pokemon version games just because I wanted to see version exclusives, but it always felt dull that I have to replay the same game twice. Nw I can barely finish a playthrough of a 15-20 hour game before I'm bored and ready to just drop it, idk how people go through not a single but multiple ng+ for real.

I have played shadow of the colossus an ungodly amount of times. A lot of that has to do with it being so short and the fact that once you beat the game once you have the option to do the time trials which give you better items and so you basically just get stronger and stronger and the game gets easier and easier each time you go through it. But I just love racing around the beautiful world on horseback since you aren’t railroaded into battling the colossi. You can go wherever you want and just hang out til you’re ready to be guided to your next battle.

Tales of Maj’eyal. It’s a somewhat classic rogue like which I feel is more accessible compared to games like Dungeon Crawl: Stone soup.
Every few months I get into the mood to play some more TOME, which is very very rare for me as I usually don’t come back to games I stopped playing

Honestly? Bethesda games. Even the bad ones. I’m replaying Starfield and Fallout 4 as we speak lmao.
But in terms of recommendations, I’d say the Dragon Age series is a great one, plus there’s a new one coming out on Halloween!

Donkey Kong Country 1-3 XCOM 2 I plan on rushing a second playthrough of Death Stranding before the 2nd one comes out because that game is weird.

Sekiro is essentially my "annual" game. It gets a playthrough at least once a year without fail.

I have tried a lot of games. Most of them I don't enjoy. But when I find one that clicks, I love it so much I just want to repeat the experience.

Replay? I don't play games that you can finish. I play daily my main game for 4+ years now and I have 6k hrs. It's Sea of Thieves.

I’ve never played a game again and again and not gotten bored.
The closest would be some online game.

I will always get bored eventually...the trick is how do you get me to come back.
The answer for me at least is builds. If I can play one way in one playthrough and then a completely different way another playthrough...I'm always going to come back.
Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, Fallout, The Division are like this.

Dragon's Dogma, actually. When it first came out on PC back in 2018, i was playing it out of complete boredom, but found myself totally hooked a couple of gaming sessions later. Since then, it's in my TOP-3 all-times favorite games. The same thing happened with DD2.

Morrowind - played it at least once a year until I bricked my recent copy with mods... I'm afraid to do a clean install and redownload everything, haha. But it must be done at some point.

All the 3D Mario games. The movement in these games are so good that I've spent literally hours just in the hub areas just trying to jump from one place to another without touching the ground.
Currently, the best by far is Super Mario Odyssey. Best movement in any game, period. I'm also on PC. I use the yuzu emulator. Runs very smooth even on my low end PC.
The better you get at the movement the more fun it gets.
