Oh man, so many games. All Metroid (except other M), the first Diablo (especially the Butcher fight), FF6, especially after the last boss battle, will always feel bad about shadow π

NieR Replicant (2021). One of my favourite games, I really liked the story and the characters

I wish I could go back and play Her Story again. My wife and I stayed up all night 100%-ing that game years ago, and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had, sharing our theories as the story unfolded. Unfortunately though, once you know the story, there's no reason to replay it.
We tried the sequel, but imo it wasn't nearly as good - both mechanically and story-wise.
Amazing game. I only have one complaint about it but unfortunately it's a huge spoiler.
Bit of a different one, but absolutely The Witness.
I adored learning all the puzzle mechanics, and exploring the island.
And for those in the know, the biggest discovery of all would be incredible to experience again for the first time (I at least managed to get some second-hand wonder watching my girlfriend piece it together).
I would kill to be able to experience Nier Automata Ending E for the first time again.
TUNIC. The correct answer is Tunic. I do not know hiow to express how strongly I feel about this.
I'd love to play Noita again. I already love that game, but I'll never forget the fear and sense of mystery it evoked in me when I first played it. I beat the game without looking at any sort of wiki, guide, or community, and I'm very grateful I did (although it took me quite a while to beat it for the first time. That game is hard!).
Did you beat the full game? Or only the KolmisilmΓ€ (spider guy in the Laboratory)?
I'm half joking, but according to the weirdly deep Noita lore, beating that boss is actually one of the "bad" endings. One of my favorite things about this game is that the lore is as vast as the world that inhabits it.
I went down the Noita YouTube hole a while back, and I've decided that as much as I love the game, I'm totally okay with only ever getting the "bad" ending, haha.
In case you're curious:

NOITA SPOILERS - I don't see an option to mark spoilers, so until someone tells me I guess this will do.
When the world turns to gold at the end, it's because you have "completed the Work" without understanding what you're doing. Essentially, you've managed to break into God's house and just started hitting buttons to see what happens. The world turns to gold in an ironic twist of fate, like the story of King Midas.
To get the "true" ending, you need to get 33 "Orbs of True Knowledge", which is intensely difficult even for experienced players. Then, you can complete the Work properly and bring peace to the world.
!!!
Again, I'll never ever do this, but the lore is interesting.
Keeping this very terse to minimize spoilers! In addition to main path, I've done toxic, pure (11), and peaceful (33), but not 34-36. Partial moon (gourd is hard), no sun. All bosses. My completion % is nowhere near 100% right now and my pillars are still not filled out. I'm somewhat handicapped because I play on my Steam Deck, meaning I don't get the precision of mouse+kb controls. That's not a problem for some folks, but it's definitely a problem for me π

The bosses of Splatoon 2's Hero mode and Octo Expansion immediately came to mind.
Oh, and Breath of The Wild!
Yakuza series as the whole. I would do anything to experience it fresh once again.
I finished 0-6 last year and I can't wait to forget most of them in a few years to replay them.
People who understand will know this should be right up there with Chrono Trigger. Ryu Ga Gotoku is awesome.
You are absolutely right!
Elden ring with seamless coop and 3 of my friends. It would be insane discovering the whole game together at the same time.
Planescape Torment, Mark of the Ninja, Gunpoint, and The Swapper. All great for different reasons.
Nier Automata for sure.
Such a masterpiece of a game. But you can only fully experience ending E once, and it is so emotional. I've never cried finishing a game until I played Nier Automata. Nothing quite like it, and I love this game probably more than any other game I've played.
