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!!

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.

I'm sure it would if I thought more highly of it.

Lmao I love Hades but this is such a sick burn, I'm stealing it for next time someone tries to convince me some shlocky k-drama is peak kino.

I do hope Hades 2 ups the variability of the encounters more, you're absolutely right about endgame being a bit weak for a roguelike, even with the different weapons.
