Two initially jump to mind for me.

Outer Wilds took me three attempts to get into, but when it did...wow. Its a game that I is definitely more than the sum of it's parts, and one that I'd argue is genuinely beautiful in it's story and how it tells that story.

That said, once you've worked out the games mystery; it's story, it's tricks, timing and logistics, I wonder how more pull the game would have.

Return of the Obra Dinn is a game that I spend a lot of my time thinking about. The music, the atmosphere and of course, the games moment to moment gameplay.

Those puzzles will likely (hopefully) melt from my mind at some point, but even then I fear that initial sense of excitement and intrigue will be lost.

As much as I plan on going back to it at some point, I'm not sure a game of it's nature is all that well suited to additional playthroughs unfortunately.

I mean, it's the Outer Wilds. That's the right answer to this question.

But also, Hellblade was absolutely incredible to play in one sitting with good headphones in a pitch black room. It took a few minutes to get used to the voices, but once I was finished with the game, my mind felt strangely empty for a while

I didn't play Hellblade in one sitting, but I also really loved it. The blind trial where you navigate purely through sound and controller vibration and have to ignore the scary monsters will stay with me for a while. Very cool level.

Looking forward to the sequel.

And the boss at the end of that! My favorite boss fight in any video game

I don't think there was a boss immediately at the end? It was one of the many trials for the sword. But if you mean Garm a bit later then yeah that was very cool!
