- Games are quite expensive these days, so replayability is often taken into account.
- Certain titles like Devil May Cry 5 offer replayability through a high-skill ceiling that encourages repetition for those seeking to improve their skills.
- Meanwhile, others like Elden Ring prioritize sheer variety and encourage experimentation with different builds.
Having played countless games, I can say that some are more replayable than others. As someone who doesn’t have an unlimited budget, I prefer plenty of replayability in my favorites since I seek out the most value for my money.
However, finding games with such levels of replayability can be extremely hard. If you’re looking to get the most out of your money, here’s a quick list to consider.
Why it matters: Modern releases have a price tag of $60 or $70. This can be a major dent in your wallet if you’re a student, so getting the most out of each title seems like the best solution.
1. Elden Ring
I have to give Elden Ring the first place, as I have yet to find myself bored despite sinking hundreds of hours into this RPG. Having finished countless runs, I find myself going back to it due to its open-world and main boss line-up.
Each boss is challenging in its own way, and the thrill of victory never gets old. Also, build variety keeps each playthrough fresh. Whether you decide to rely on magic, go all-out with a strength build, or focus on dexterity, each playthrough has something new to offer.
2. Doom Eternal
Doom Eternal is one of those games that, once you start playing, you can’t stop. It will keep you coming back for more since there’s a lot to master here.
While it may not have the variety of Elden Ring, the shooting mechanics are so refined that you’ll yearn for the perfect run where you transform into the ultimate demon-slaying machine. After mastering the combat, you can go for another spin and feel the destructive force of the doom slayer.
3. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Sekiro offers the most satisfying FromSoftware combat system I’ve ever experienced. The combat is like cheese: It’s just never enough. Your first playthrough will be extremely hard and punishing.
However, once you overcome those roadblocks and force your way through the final boss, your next playthrough will allow you to swiftly work through most enemies. Things only get better from here.
4. Witcher 3/ Red Dead Redemption 2/ Cyberpunk 2077
Rather than ranking each one differently, I think it is better to place these three open-world games together. This genre, in general, is praised for delivering heaps of content. The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 stand out as the pinnacle of the genre, and all deliver plenty of content.
If the lengthy main quests weren’t enough, you have a vast open world at your disposal. There are multiple side quests to complete, characters to meet, and stories to discover throughout these games.
Reaching 100% completion in either of these titles can take hundreds of hours, making them more than worth your money.
5. Devil May Cry 5
Devil May Cry has always been popular as a franchise that you can play again and again, and what better game to wrap up this list than Devil May Cry 5?
Between the multiple difficulty options, the Bloody Palace mode, the three completely unique characters(four if you get the DLC), and the multitude of combat options to learn, there’s no stopping when it comes to Devil May Cry.
Spend hundreds of hours in practice mode to come up with stylish combos or take on the 100 floors found in Bloody Palace; you have all the freedom in the world here. The first playthrough is more of a tutorial than anything.
The combat also has so much depth that you can easily pour hundreds of hours into mastering the many nuances of each character. Devil May Cry isn’t about beating the game; it’s about doing it in the most stylish way possible.
This wraps up my list of games with the most replayability. Of course, it can differ from person to person.
Other genres, like rogue-likes, for instance, offer plenty of replayability. Slay the Spire and Hades are examples I can immediately think of. However, at the end of the day, it’s always better to buy the games you know you are going to enjoy.
