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!!

I put multiple thousand hours into Mount blade warband, Crusader Kings 2, Europa universalis 4, and more.

X4 foundations and relevant DLC. I have multiple saves with over a year worth of playtime

The one I never get tired of replaying is Mafia 2. Maybe a weird choice since it's very linear and every play through is pretty much the same. But the story is just perfect for me. The gameplay perfectly suits the story, nothing especially clever, just well executed.

Then there's games like Binding of Isaac or Dead Cells where every play through is different.

Kerbal Space Program, for sure. Skyrim is another.

Minecraft, especially with mods.

Roguelites in general. My favorite is FTL. Also has good mods.

This list is GREAT ... but if you'd be willing to venture back to the late 90s or early 00s I'll offer you three more names:

  1. Fallout 2
  2. Fallout
  3. Mafia

All three are open world.

I've Played both Fallouts and loved them! I will remember to try out Mafia, It looks similar to the old GTA games at a glance. Thanks!

I don't know how much is truly infinitely replayable outside of tetris, but for what it's worth I have 250 hours into dead cells and I still haven't beaten 5 cells or even reached the final biome. You'll definitely get replay value out of it, the game is fantastic.

Honestly, Skyrim. With so many great mods available these days, you can literally turn it into a whole different game. And with modpacks on Nexus, Wabbajack or similar sites, it's easier than ever. I'm just getting back into it myself after 3 years, but I'm still a big fan of getting into the nitty gritty of it and configuring everything myself.

I’ve played Risk of Rain 2 on and off for years and I’m not bored of it yet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I was about to suggest "Balatro" but you don't want infinite dopamine game then play The Binding of Isaac:Rebirth.

Dungeon keeper.

Any of impression games latter worldbuilders (pharaoh, zeus, emperor)

Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 4, the BioShock series

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

The binding of Isaac

Tetris maybe (too close to candy crush)

If you into emulators the SNES has a lot of good arcade ports, those are high score based

Football Manager 2016 was the first version I tried. I put 1,500+ hours into it and only stopped because I decided to upgrade to Football Manager 2018. I'm on 2024 now at ~400 hours.

Classic Doom 1 and 2. There's gotta be over 100 levels if you count TNT and Plutonia, which I think were sold as Final Doom? Anyway, if you just get the base games for 1 and 2, there are thousands upon thousands of community made maps, including some total conversions, so you can play new Doom content until it physically pains you to continue.

Of course, I feel obligated to mention that even though it would be super easy to pirate the WAD files and play with a free modern source port like GZDoom, like absolutely trivial to find copies of DOOM.WAD and DOOM2.WAD floating around the net, probably showing up easily on Archive.org, but... Um... Where was I going with this? Oh, right, don't pirate. Cheap on GOG last I knew.

Risk of rain and risk of rain 2

You can get hundreds of hours out of Binding of Isaac, easy
