I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it’s sort of spoiled for me after I’ve played it too much.
I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.
Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.
!!BTW I don’t mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!
Shattered pixel dungeon
The binding of Isaac.
I’ve been playing it on and of since the flash game released 13 years ago.
Dead Cells! Made by a worker cooperative 🥳
Dead cells studio is a co-op? Wasnt aware, thats cool
Hades.
Should be higher up, the best game designed to be replayed until the end of time.
For rpg games, something like mass effect or Baldurs Gate could be the one
For me Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2. But you could probably throw most Sim Games into here like SimCity 2k 3k or 4.
RimWorld. shit can go crazy with the mods a available or just vanilla.
I dunno, I only have 3417 hours played in Rimworld, I’m not sure that qualifies as infinitely replayable. /s
Don’t give up! You’re close to finishing the tutorial!
Minecraft?
Hard to do better than the OG endless sandbox.
OG endless sandbox is Dwarf Fortress.

Tons. There’s an entire roguelike genre built around this; some of my favorites are Vagante and Streets of Rogue. There are games with procedurally generated worlds like Terraria, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, and Factorio. There are RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 that have so many ways to spec your characters and so many permutations of how events could unfold based on what you did that you’re unlikely to see them all.
Another great roguelike is Hades, which may or may not have dominated my video game attention for the last 8 months.
I didn’t personally care for it, but I know I’m in the minority. In fact, one of the reasons I didn’t care for it is because it felt far less replayable than many of its peers. Even Zagreus will call out “the butterfly room”, because there are so few permutations to see.
Hrm, you’re not wrong but Hades also exemplifies why quality wins over quantity when in replayability.
Rainworld, Cult of the Lamb, Slay the Spire, Inscryption
