There’s lots of motivations to replay any game: the gameplay, the story, completionism, a feeling of home.

For me it’s usually gameplay first but closely followed by completionism, actually. I adore the gameplay of Sekiro, Bloodborne, Lies of P and Khazan, and that was usually the driving factor for me to replay the game. However, I am a bit of a completionist, so it’s also alluring to me to have a platinum trophy in my collection to be fully “done” with a game.

What about you?

  • I suck so much at finishing tasks and projects and general everyday things that I don’t get that satisfaction much elsewhere.

    Well, I’ll keep listening to your recs and trying to expand my gaming horizons ;) I’ll keep an eye out for your coments on ai limit. The anime girl style is one aesthetic that puts me off so much.

      I’m not into it either, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about the level design and gameplay and what I am into is post-apocalyptic megastructures. And so far so good on that front! Plus it was pretty cheap.

      • Oh how the discounts beckon so sweetly. Tbh I’m a total aesthetic snob, if the art doesn’t sit right with me the game doesn’t get played. I’m curious if you manage to shift ny perspective on this one.

          I am an art/aesthetic enjoyer, but not really a snob I don’t think. I’m not sure I can think of any game I’ve refused to play because of aesthetics. There have been many cases of games where the art was a driving factor in deciding to actually play them though, like GRIS, INMOST, most recently eying REPLACED…

          ^Side note: what’s with these artsy indie games using all caps for their titles? When did this become a thing?^

          • Oh! Those are some nice looking games!

            what’s with these artsy indie games using all caps for their titles? When did this become a thing?

            Now that you mention it, perhaps some added Gravitas for the cover? :P some extra oomph?

              I can recommend both of them if you ever want a shorter palate cleanser. I like doing a quick artsy indie game between longer playthroughs. Neither GRIS nor INMOST is any longer than 5-6h in total.

              REPLACED looks phenomenal but I am a little hesitant about the amount of difficult platforming, which is something I often struggle with (and struggle to enjoy). I still might buy it though because… well… look at it!
