dipbeneaththelasers,

Outer Wilds. A lot of games have a high level of replayability, but your first playthrough of Outer Wilds is something you never get back.

This is the answer, and for anyone who hasn't played Outer Wilds it's still their answer and they just don't know it yet.

That’s one of those that I really gotta finish. I just wish the mouse and keyboard controls were a little better.

My buddy gifted me this game so he could experience my first playthrough as well.

All of us degenerate Outer Wilds enjoyers spreading it to our friends just for the merest shadow of the feeling we've lost and can never recapture...

flame,

If anyone hasn’t played it and has a VR headset, please play it in VR. Absolutely phenomenal experience.

Really didn't think they could keep that same sense of mystery and wonder with the DLC, but they absolutely smashed it. And yes, this was also my immediate thought in answer to the question.

Portal.

I'll never forget the day I started playing this game. It was so cool and so different from anything else I had played that I couldn't stop playing, and finished the game in one session. Awesome night!

Ultima Online maybe.

Anissem,

Oh god I loved that game. As an MMO, it had to learn so many hard lessons since it was so new and different

SunburyStudios,

Man... That was such a trip. A friend of mine brought it over because my computer was much better and I had a 3rd party ISP lightning fast 56k connection. It was so crazy just to see the little world. I still log into the private servers every few years just to see some of the new tech fans are throwing on top of it.

Yewb,

Im with you uo was magical

eltimablo,

Oblivion. As much shit as it gets, I think it's still the best Elder Scrolls game to date, with Morrowind as a close second.

Agree. First elder scrolls. I prefer oblivion to Skyrim. It was Soo buggy but so good. I just preferred the vibe. It was more fun and less serious.

Andi,

Horizon Zero Down. My favorite game ever.

Chrono Trigger.

I get to run through all 13 endings again? Experience all those plot twists and storylines? Yes. Please.

That first playthrough on New Game + was magical.

NightOwl,

It still blows my mind that a game that old had so many different endings and playthroughs that felt unique. And the soundtrack is legendary.

Punch609,

The Witcher 3 or the Mass Effect trilogy for sure.

undisputed_huntsman,

Titanfall 2 and/or BO 2

it'll always be ocarina of time because that game really kickstarted my intense love for gaming in general

Return of the Obra Dinn. Discovering the story and mystery for the first time, putting the pieces together, looking for clues and drawing conclusions, it was a fantastic experience that can never be repeated so long as you remember even fragments of it.

emokidforever,

Final Fantasy XIV. I wish I could forget the story to experience it all over, but it'd also be nice to not remember some of the old things I miss too. Ignorance is bliss and all.

grinningserpent,

Hollow Knight, easily. Most any Metroidvania would qualify, but HK is really something special in those regards.

I'm not completely sure, but it's likely one of the RPGs I played when I was super young.

Spellcaster, D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun, Sword of Vermillion, or Golvellius: Valley of Doom.

After years of playing modern RPGs these games just don't really do it for me. They can get 2-4 hours or so before I end up forgetting about them for a year. It'd be great for it to be a new experience again :D

I also didn't really get meta-gaming type concepts when I played these games. I got through them sure, but I wasn't thinking too deeply about the systems of the games and got stuck several times and had to do things like grind random encounters to just out level things. It'd be great to approach them fresh, but with this perspective.

Duchess,

Silent Hill 2, minus any spoilers from the internet. That game is a masterpiece

Probably fallout 3 or maybe minecraft.
