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+.

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.

• 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

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.

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.

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

• 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.

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.
