Ruvika: Somebody already said STALKER?

JakobFel: I haven't played them yet but thanks to the kind donation of two of them from a friend, I'm definitely planning to try them soon!
A little warning, those games are hard at the beginning, the game welcome you with a kick on your face, that first zone is really hard but after you get some weapons and lear how to play, the game become more addictive than cocaine. You will play the whole series I am sure!

Haha yeah, I had heard that, that difficulty is the main thing that kept me from playing them sooner. However, I want to be up to speed before STALKER 2 so I'm definitely going to give them a go sometime soon!

JakobFel: What games have you played that you actually enjoyed more on a second playthrough than on the first?

For me, the starkest turnaround was The Witcher 3. I enjoyed my first playthrough but it just didn't grab me as being this near-flawless masterpiece everyone said it was. However, I decided to start an NG+ playthrough last summer and as I get close to finishing the base game's MQ for the second time, I look at it and I truly see why everyone loved it. It went from being a game I was certain must have been overrated, to a game that is in my top 10 favorite games of all time.

Granted, some of that is because I've been enjoying the rest of the series as well (the games, as well as the show and the books) so the story makes more sense to me, but even from a gameplay and world building perspective, I can't even begin to describe how much more enjoyable it is this time around and I'm not even to the expansions which, in many ways, I enjoyed more than the base game on my first playthrough.

Overall, I've found that running this second playthrough (partly thanks to NG+) has really helped me to focus, to take my time and pay attention to absolutely every detail. I've found myself enjoying simply walking to and from places, rather than running to save time. I spot tiny little details in the environment that blur the lines of immersion. I hear artistically repeated motifs in the soundtrack (which took even longer than the game to actually grow on me) that just make me grin. I read notes or books or listen to dialogue that just makes me laugh, sometimes because the humor is great or sometimes because I actually understood the world/story references that are being made. The list goes on. It's not the ONLY game that I've enjoyed more on a second playthrough but it's most definitely the strongest turnaround I've ever experienced in my gaming life. I never hated the game by any means but it went from being "another open world" to one of the best games I've ever played.

So, are there any games you've found yourself enjoying a lot more on a second playthrough?
An unpopular opinion; cookie clicker.
I just hated the game when I first got to know about it. I mean what's the point of clicking cokies all day. But now i just play it all day idk why *facepalm*

Haha I haven't found myself addicted to any clicker games but I can see why they can become fun to play long-term while you're doing other stuff. I've played a bit of AdVenture Capitalism and Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, the latter is actually quite fun if you grab a bunch of the free codes. It has a really nice sense of adventure to it.

I've found myself enjoying games like Cookie Clicker (or Candy Box 1 and 2, or Universal Paperclips, or even something like Plant Daddy) more on a second playthrough. (Of course, the endless nature of some of the games means that "playthrough" has to be defined loosely.)

Keveat: Prey - I picked up on so many more things. Also, I understood the game a lot better. Not saying the 1st run wasn't fun.

Lord_of_D: Bethesda or 3D Realms Prey? have only played the good one and only once.
Probably not the good one--Bethesda. 3D realms Prey is on the list.

I'd say POP: Two thrones.
This was the first POP game I played other than the classic Nintendo one and due to its dark theme and story I didn't quite like it in the start. But after a couple of days, I would play it all day man.
