Games

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.

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

Ratchet & Clank, Rogue Legacy, inFamous 2, The Last of Us

Chrono Trigger

• Horizon Zero Dawn
• Ghost of Tsushima
• Sundered
• Ori and the Blind Forest
• Ori and the Will o the Wisp
• Prototype and Prototype 2
• Crackdown

Chrono Trigger

Elden ring. Got to NG+7 before it became miserable and I had to stop.

Hello,

Maybe consider crossposting to !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works ? You'll probably get a lot of answers there too

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.

Dark Souls.

You need to play NG+ and a fair bit of NG++ to be able to get everything on one character.

Sekiro and Hi-Fi Rush

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.

Quite a few. I've never finished a Fromsoft game, but I did finish Hellpoint which is another soulslike. When I was a kid I replayed Jak 3 so many times I lost count. Recently I played through Spider-Man 2018 and Miles Morales and then immediately went and did NG+ on both of those because they're so fun. I'm excited for Spider-Man 2 to come out on PC.

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.

Dark Souls 3, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Dishonored 2, Prey 2016, Batman Arkham City.

There are a bunch more that I would've done if they had NG+, but alas.

Ghost of Tsushima Shadow of TR (cuz new gamemod opened after 1st run) AC:Mirage(new permadeath mode) Demon's souls & EldenRing (for plat only)

Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I've finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.

Notable exceptions are:

• Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
• Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.

I like collecting achievements, so if it's a requirement, I usually do. The last one was Silent Hill 2, which kind of doesn't count. You start with nothing, and the only difference is that items appear when they weren't there on the first run. I've done the FromSoft Soulsborne games, but Elden Ring had so much content that I had to take a long break before going back. The ones I've enjoyed most though are games that have upgrade systems that you can't complete without a ton of grinding, like Ratchet and Clank (plus NG+ has the RYNO). They just can't be super-long. I'm probably never replaying Persona 5, just because of the time commitment.

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.

Heaven's Vault! Several times, because each new game plus adds new words so you just learn more!

darksouls2 might have been the weakest entry in the souls series, but its ng+ / ascendic mechanics are awesome.

i heard sekiro ng+ is also awesome because the powerup comes less from gear and mostly from how much you improved since beating the game.
so you breeze trough most of the game entirely on your skill.

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.

• 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.
