Oxenfree It's an indie game but the story revolves around a group of people stuck in a moment of time that's frozen. Later we realize that everyone bis actually in a time loop and we need to break it. But the thing is, every new playthrough is seen as another reset of the time loop. The MC remembers everything that happened in the last loop, events happen in ways that it didn't in the previous loops, the antagonist remembers the last loop and comments about it. It's a fascinating story and it's one you need to play at the very least twice to really understand what's going on. It's one of my fav indie games and I can't wait for the sequel

The mini endings are actually super easy (except for Y for obvious reasons). My first ending was U. I went in completely blind into the game. I was in the Bunker at the beginning of the game, wanted to try self destruct so I saved and self destructed and... The game went into a black screen, told me the Bunker exploded, the credits rolled and I got an ending. You can imagine my confusion, going in COMPLETELY blind without any knowledge regarding different endings. It was the middle of the night, too, so I was incredibly spooked... Gosh...

Dragon's Dogma deserves to be on here. After you beat the "final boss" you go into a Post-Game sequence. The world has changed and the gameplay dynamic changes somewhat. Most people don't realize how much extra content this game has beneath the surface! Then you can either stay in this limbo forever, or you can progress to the next sequence, and get yourself to NG+ which has an interesting story twist but lets you replay the game from the start, with one or two subtle changes. :)

It’s funny, I was ready to put down DD as a dishonorable mention. It didn’t occur to me that post game was the same as New game plus. It seems like an integral part of the main game experience. My feelings of disappointment starting up any new game plus have never been as strong as with DD. Seemingly nothing had changed. Crucially, enemies weren’t stronger, at all, compared to first play through. I was mopping the floor with them. Even the giant sized ones. Where’s the enjoyment in that? I commiserated with a popular YT DD channel, and he said that at least BBI remains a challenge for high level characters. Which is all well and good. But I wanted to replay the main story, decked out from beginning, and have it be one. Oh well.

I got addicted to fighting Valkyries in GoW and therefore started a NG+ and it was just as satisfying the 2nd time 🔥

My favorite game of it's generation Dragon's Dogma deserves a shoutout in this department imo. I don't count the post Gregori sequence cause it's still technically NG but hell even that is a massive twist. Then in NG+ the game is mostly the same but the biggest thing is you don't learn the extent of the twist it throws at you until you get to the true final boss again in NG+ You also technically can't fight the true boss of BBI until new game + or is it ++? Can't remember exactly but you have to run it at least twice if not three times to get the true final boss of that area.

Borderlands 2 should be on the list or the part 2 of it. The game is built around beating it over and over Normal - true vault hunter - Ultimate vault hunter and then 10 op levels there are unique enemies and loot you can only receive once you beat the game

there is only so much *bonus* content a dev can before the novelty wears off. Only truly open world games will truly never become boring (assuming that you really love the game). Other than that, the single-player-only genre may eventually phase out in favor of dynamic multiplayer only games. Admit it, be real. No matter how fun a single player sandbox game may be, it's NEVER AS FUN AS ACTUALLY PLAYING WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS.

Ghost of Tsushima NG+ is cool too since you can upgrade all your gear by one more, the game is more challenging and you can buy items and charms/curses from baku the voiceless who isnt in the first playthrough.

The first NG+ I ever played was LOZ: Windwaker. By modern standards it doesn't add a lot. You can play the game in Link's starting outfit and understand the ancient Hylian characters speak in cutscenes. At the time though, that seemed incredible.

I think Red Dead Redemption and RDR2 also qualify since both times at the end of the game, you are switched to another character, and while you don't have to click a 'new game plus' option on the main menu to access it, the credits do roll and there is a lot of content and side quests that opens up after, or was already open but gives you different options, results and commentary depending on when, how and with whom you completed the quests.

The game that maybe changes more than all of these that should be on this list is Final Fantasy Type-0. You beat the game, you get new cutscenes that drastically flesh out more of the story in things that were happening you never knew about while you were on your first play through, much like Nier Automata. You get a ton of new secret locations to go to. You get new weapons and a ton of new missions. You even get a new ending. Then you play it again. You realize the first play through was just the soldiers story, the second play through is more of what is happening on a high ranking officer and political level. The third play through you get the story on a political and world changing level and you finally find out about all this stuff that was happening affecting events in the first two playthroughs you never realized. All of these come with different endings, and they can very depending on your actions. Final Fantasy Type-0 probably changes more after you beat the game than any game on this list. It is the definition of what it means to play a totally different game, in the same game, after you beat the game. Hell, it's fair to say unless you have beaten it 3 times, you haven't really beaten it. Multiple playthroughs are also canon to the story.

@@conrrr Yeah but to be honest it is fair to say it is maybe even more fleshed out than Nier.... It doesn't have all the play style changes like a Nier game would in general, but I would say it includes more important cutscenes, more totally new unused/unknown areas from the first 2 playthroughs, more things that totally change your perspective on what was actually happening in the overall story. For example Nier, playing the other parts, you still kinda understand the conflict everyone is going through and the overall conflict. With FF Type-0, what you think you know about what is going on changes more on a grander scale, and as messed up as any of the endings were in Nier, some of the endings in FF Type-0 I would say are more clever in testing if you payed attention to the side quests and story. Some endings are absolutely nightmarish. The story in general is just more brutal, so it feels different, but beyond that, the revelations in the second and third playthroughs change your perspective of the first play through more than Nier does. I believe FF Peasant did a count and said something like 8 million people die in various ways during the course of the game, and had by far the most individual deaths of any FF game. They are however both as closer to each other in that regard than any other game is to them that I can name.

I'm glad you mentioned both Nier games. They both have that sort of new game+ that changes things up, though I would say the original Nier and the remaster/port takes it even further. So you go through the game once, and get a great story, go through Route B which adds to the story and Route C which adds even more to the story. You can either make a save before the end and use that to see Ending C and D or play through it a fourth time if you want to for some reason. But after you get Ending D, start a new game. Just do it, because what the game will do something brilliant.

I'm VERY surprised Final Fantasy Type 0 isn't on the list. That game definitely defined the New Game + genre. 1. Each playthough has extra cutscenes and ending, which fleshes out the overall story more. 2. Certain loots, weapons and spells was unattainable until the 2nd and 3rd playthrough 3. Certain Eidolons (summons) you couldn't get in the 1st playthrough. (infact, 1 Eidolon that the game let's you use for a main story mission, is not attainable until the 3rd play through.) 4. Certain dungeons and post game bosses, you needed to best the game more than once in order to possibly stand a chance of defeating. That game DEFINITELY revolutionize the New Game + activities.

Good stuff, man! Keep it going! 💯

Recently replayed an old favorite of mine called Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter. It had a lot of really interesting systems that were honestly quite ahead of it's time. One of those was a system where you could start NG+ at any point by 'giving up' on the current playthrough, keeping a pool of distributable exp, some money and the equipment you'd gathered. However, it also unlocked new cutscenes that revealed some of what went on for parts of the game that your character wasn't there for. For example in your first playthrough your first NPC party member stays behind to talk to your mutual boss about something but you don't get to know what that was about, it just cuts to him leaving the room afterward. However, after restarting you get to see a short cutscene showing what they talked about. There is also a 'true' NG+ where after you complete the game you get a rating and that rating is carried over into your next NG+. There are a number of doors that will only open if you have a high enough rating, opening a whole bunch of extra areas and incentivizing you to get a good rating so you can unlock them all. I think some cutscenes are also tied to that rating. Probably as a way to allow for extra cutscenes that might give spoilers if you were to see them before beating/ progressing far enough in the game.

Gonna queue this up for later. Is Dragon's Dogma on here? I can understand if it's not, because the amount of time you may spend in the true end game world is likely very short, but the actual whole world, enemy type/enemy spawns and difficulty changes, aswell as the main hub. You can't even go into the main hub where you've traded and gotten to know everyone either because they're all hostile. You really have to slow yourself down and not rush through the quest and repairing the world to see it all.

It's a great game, but it's a LONG one, too. TL;DR? Tell me you like something and why you support it and maybe I'll give it a go myself. It's that's simple, really. That's how I got into awesome things like Demon's Souls and Battlefield, for example.

Awesome "Gameranx,definitely what I needed to hear about,and just really enjoyed the video 🙌

One of the important things to mention for Sekiro's NG+ is refusal of Kuro's charm. That, despite you having all the tricks up your sleeve and damage cranked up requires you to actually perfect your swordsmanship. Add the demon bell and all your advantages go out the window. For me it was the preferable way of playing the game, makes seeing the remaining endings not just a slideshow. You can enjoy the path, too.

Ninja Gaiden on Xbox will always have some of the best new game plus additions in my opinion. Not only did harder enemies join the game earlier then expected. They always had a new variation of monsters and enemies that were exclusively to new game plus. That always amazed me and kept me playing those games. We need a game to incorporate what GOW 2018 did and what Ninja Gaiden did and that would be the perfect new game plus.

Was surprised dying light 2 didn't have it on release, if they release it with a big expansion for out of the city exploring it would make sense though, could either go to the city or new areas with the glider and grappling hook already, would be a good way to incorporate it I think, and could softly force new players to still have to go through the city to get the right equipment.

I enjoyed the Village of Shadows mode for Resident Evil Village. It upped the difficulty but also unlocked more weapons that weren't available on your main play through and you could build as go through later play throughs. Yes the story really doesnt change but it was a nice surprise for it to pop up after the first run.

I think, Scarlet Nexus kind of applies too. Technically, you can choose any of the two characters from the start and see that character's "side of the story", but for second playthrough you can choose another character and keep all the level ups and items you've gained, while witnessing new story, where only some key points repeat. Devil May Cry and, similarly, Bayonetta games change with every new difficulty where you encounter different packs of enemies, enemies take less and do more damage, etc. all the while keeping all your upgrades and moves. DMC5 in particular you can get "secret endings", that, normally, you would not see, when starting New Game (unless you're exceedingly good). PS: Is something wrong with Falcon, or it's just an amusing gimmick to misspell/mispronounce things, or it's just him doing a fairly long video in one take? I am worried.

Scarlet Nexus is an interesting one, since even though you can transfer exp after you complete a playthrough (playing Yuito first really helps to reinforce the idea that Kasane is an unkillable monster), the two campaigns are completely different, even if they are tied together through the same characters and maps/events/locations. The enemies, right down to the mobs, are completely different because each party is balanced around different strengths.

Great game that could be included in this category and actually I thought it would be something like number 1 is deadcells. It changes a lot after finishing first, second ... fifth playthrough. It is crazy how this game changes and makes everything interesting again. Making you to adapt to new strategies etc. It is a pitty you didn't mention it.

Any list: exists. Final fantasy games: well, hello.

Your description of sekiro reminded me of one of my all time favorites....vagrant story. First time through took me almost 45 hrs, second time through took me 8. Once you decided your build and stuck with it, items carried over as well, and so did your stats. I would have played it more and tried the other builds but the box puzzle aspect got old pretty quick, but its a classic in my book.

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals is a SNES game that came out just before Chrono Trigger which had New Game+ and NG++. The first NG+ gave you 4x exp and money, and made it a lot easier to beat certain bosses that were seen in the first playthrough as unbeatable (ones you thought you had to lose against, but if you did beat them could drop awesome loot). The New Game ++ unlocked the 100 floor randomised cave as a play-alone version you could tackle without having to get there in the main game. You could use any of the characters who joined (and left) your party on the main journey, and try to make your way through the Ancient Cave, where everything is randomised. It's a LOT of fun and one of the best New Game + options out there, imo.

I like the idea of NG+ but I never end up playing it. What I really love is a good post-game where you keep playing on the same file and new things become available to do in the world after you beat it.

BoTW in master mode was definitely worth playing through again. Even through there was no change at all to the story, the difficulty of the enemies, forces you to approach the game with new strategies.

The only way to play

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter and its SoL system. The "better" you finish the game, the higher score you get the higher quarter you get, from 1/8192 all the way to 1/4 if you a perfect run in eight hours. The higher your quarter, the more story unveils. The game came out back in 2003, nineteen years ago. Sadly the game doesn't get any tougher, unless you count in the way you have to play in order how PERFECTLY you have to play to unlock the final quarter (akin to your #2 pick?), which unfortunately is only for bragging rights, but damn satisfying to do. But it's an awesome feature I am happy to see some games using it! Your first pick is one example. More story unveils. Love this vid, great job!

This list was great! A lot of games I’ve finished and done the new game + on this list and a few games that I now want to buy and learned about! Thanks!

I also love games where you're heading toward an obvious boss. You pass a vendor out in the middle of nowhere that sells healing items, weapons, and armor. Then you enter a ginormous arena as a large door locks behind you. Then this huge monster comes out and it's like, "Hi! Don't mind me! I'm just chilling here. Here, have cheese sandwich... See ya' 'round..." And you pass through to the exit and continue on your way...

It's so rare I ever play a game twice. I wish I could make myself.

One a little out of the box, that is sorta NG+ but not really so I understand it not being included is some of the castlevania games after you beat them, you can replay the game again with other characters that have different abilities that really changes up how the game is played and how you approach it.

Sekiro also has multiple different endings. That's the whole point of replaying it. Their is 4 different endings. It's also a lot of fun to play, especially as you get better at it. Once you have it down it's a blast to play, in my opinion, of course.

I wish Rockstar games have new game plus mode

Even though it may not seem much, Super Robot Taisen Judgement for Game Boy Advance has stuff that can be considered new game +. When you beat it the first time, you can then load your cleared file and it gives you not only the choice to make the enemy stronger, but you also can choose your characters spell list. Plus if you beat the game 4 times not only do you unlock a new unit which is the one the Fury uses, you can also fully upgrade the mech and the weapons plus the upgrades carries over when you play a new game (as long as you use the completed save file of course) but the money and items does not carry over. So if you have a gameshark or codebreaker you can use the money cheat. Super Robot Taisen Original Generations 2 (same handheld system as Judgement or J for short) has two game modes after the original game. Also for Lamia you can either unlock the Vysaga or the Ashsaber depending on the requirements since those two units can only be unlocked on new game + also in new game + you can't upgrade weapons which can also be a pain since unlike J where upgrades carries over between cleared game, OG 2 does not. So unless if you're confident do not try to take on the bosses on stage 15 where if you deplete their HP to 0 without them running away, you will unlock some weapons.

New Game+ is such a blessing. I’m currently on I think my fifth playthrough of TLOU2. And for the longest time I was contemplating permadeath but was too scared cuz I only play on the hardest mode to get the full experience. Took me a while but I finally started. I was then contemplating starting permadeath WITHOUT my weapons. Until I thought about it and ultimately decided it would be best for me to do a permadeath run with everything I have lol.

Im really surprised to see that The Witcher 3 didnt make it on this list, such a phenomenal game to replay and see different outcomes in.

i agree with you and DS2 was also my first. I don't think anyone hates ds2 though or say its a bad game i just think they believe its the weakest souls game. I still will always hold alot of love for it though

If you consider Chapter 6 the end of RDR2, then the epilogue is so completely different that it should be number one in this category. You are playing as a different character, with new missions, and finally have access to a large part of the map that you were previously essentially locked out of.

Nioh 1 & 2 are amazing. It's not just the game changes in new game + its the diversity in options. The amount if builds are endless. U can make one shot builds, you can change ur weapon and armor selection which changes ur playstyle, you can get really deep into the combat system and skill tree and just make a build that emphasizes chaining flashy combos but not alot of damage (the funnest way to play imo). The combat system is amazing and its very souls mixed with ninja giaden like while having its own identity.

An older game, Breath of Fire 3 lets you start the game with the dragon tyrant gene at the very start which lets you transform into an even stronger dragon. This allows you to beat a boss you originally lose to in the first playthrough that changes up the story a bit. I forget what the other changes are but that really surprised me back in the day. There's also the Disgaea games which have multiple endings and even secret endings and the replayability is pretty much endless.

Glad you like them!

What game was that shown at the very start?

I'm glad that the neir series is #1. There are so many endings, new bosses, and wildly different outcomes. And in both case you play as the NPCs, or as enemies.

Heaven’s Vault has a cool NG+ even though it’s a smaller title! The game is about an archeologist in a world which appears to be on a loop, but enscriptions from previous loops survive. So gameplay is about exploring and interpreting writing from lost civilizations and trying to understand if The Great Loop is real or superstition. NG+ is a perfect fit for Heaven’s Vault as the whole story is about a looping world.

I’d like to do an honorable mention for the Tales Of series. Throughout your first playthrough, you constantly earn “GRADE” that in most games doesn’t seem to mean anything at first, but then you beat the game and find out that you can spend that grade for changes on your next run. You can get buffs like double xp or starting with 500 more base health, or debuff a like half xp. And there’s a lot more diversity than just that. What I find awesome about it is that in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, I was even able to beat some of the bosses that you’re supposed to lose against but getting the double xp modifier. Nothing changes, you still lose in the cutscene when the fights over, but it’s still so satisfying to have the turns tabled like that

Great to see someone showing DS2 love. People just brush it off as ‘the worst souls game’ but it’s not a bad game at all. Aside from the soul memory system, it still holds up today and did a lot of things extremely well.

You should make a seperate distinct list for "games with enough multiple choices to make replaying interesting". Because there are a lot of games that do that, and many other that just have information that change the way you see the game on a 2nd playthrough, because you have information from the ending.

What about Remnant From The Ashes? That game required you to play again and again just to see different areas and bosses because of its unique randomizing system each time you played. Im surprised it wasn't on the list. Maybe on a part 2?

This is one of my favorite tropes to video games along with having to go back with a new power to open a new progression point and bosses becoming regular enemies

The original Bayonetta is a great example. Once you unlock hard mode, a new play through remixes all the enemies. All enemies’ attack speeds are doubled. And there are still five or six completely new weapons to discover. Years later I’m still replaying it and discovering new wrinkles to the action. genius.

I think its bullshit that grace & glory move as fast as they do, giving them double speed on hard difficulties doesn't really help with disliking them any less, same goes for jeanne since she fights in the same way they do.

I would personally add Divinity Original Sin 2 or Dragon Age Inquisition, both have different races & classes to pick at the start of the game and those 2 things can have a huge impact on your gameplay, your playstyle, the dialogue options and overall the experience feels new, so yea I've replayed these 2 games a lot of times and I can say it's worth playing and really fun, and also if your really into details try out The Wither Wild Hunt I've also played that games a lot of times and the amount of new items, ending changes, different scenarios you need to be in to trigger new dialogue or just small details you've never noticed before that you find throughout different playthroughs are honestly a lot so yea love that game too. But still good list too tho, keep up the good work!

Sifu was amazing for it’s second round. When your quest for revenge turns around to be a story of redemption and discovering the true path of Kung fu was outstanding.

Love all the content, keep it up

The World Ends With You needs to be in this list. The Secret Reports can only be unlocked after you finish the whole game, and in order to read them you need to beat every chapter of the game under specific conditions. And while the story stays basically the same as you replay, each Secret Report tells you some things what happened behind the scenes while Neku was trying to survive, which really helps understand what really happened. If you want the whole story, you need to beat the game twice, and it's not boring to do so because of how difficulty works.

I feel like Dishonored 2 deserves an entry on this list. During the first playthrough, you have to choose between playing as Corvo or Emily. Each has unique powers (some overlap, some are completely unique.) However when you start a New Game Plus, you have the option to unlock abilities from either character. This works even if you play the same character both times, i.e. playing Emily both times will still give you access to Corvo's abilities during a New Game Plus. You also carry over everything from the first save, including any unspent runes, so you can start the NG+ unlocking powers from the other character instantly. Certain power combos are absolutely nuts, and only available when using powers from both characters during NG+.

Vagrant Story was the first time I saw a new game+ thing, playing for the second time unlocks a whole new area to explore and only then you get the true ending. It was super cool being one of the last games of the PS1.

resident evil 2 remake is perfect for this list imo only game i finished and the same night started a new playthrough in

I played GoW 4 times, i had a lot fun every single time but the last time (which i wanted to play it on PS5 but sadly can't afford it yet) was the best because i was very familiar with the game's mechanics by then and wanted more challenges. Thank you Santa Monica for this game and i cannot wait for Ragnarok. Edit: Oh and a big thanks for the Gameranx team for these fun videos.

During my break from Hades I started playing a game that is really similar but seems alot Harder called Curse of the dead Gods. Definitely check it out if you like Hades or Deadcells. Now that I'm stuck I may go back to Hades.

Eternal Darkness was one of the few games that I played through multiple times to get the real ending

I think the first game I played that ever did that was Tenchu 2, had to play through the game as Rikimaru, Ayame & Tatsumaru. It was fascinating seeing the different perspectives of each character & I wanna say it didn't feel that repetitive, was a long time ago lol.

I would also like to reccomend Celeste to this list. You can do B-side levels which are wayyy insanely harder than the regular levels. and if you finish every B-Side level, you can not only unlock C-Side levels to attempt, but golden strawberries at the start of every level, which can only be obtained by beating the entire level without dying. The difficulty curve will keep you busy for a very, very long time and the satisfaction after success only becomes more and more delicious as you slowly master the game >:D.

I genuinely didn’t know the god of war one even after my 4th play through

I think the best reason to replay God of war is the amount of new details you notice. So many lines of dialgoue, or moments in the story make more sense once you have the full context. I replayed it with a friend who has an xbox and o was amazed at how many new things I picked up on. Right from the very beginning where I realised baldur was looking for kratos's wife and not him, to many lines of dialogue and dream sequences later

Devil Survivor: Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. Not sure if this is in the originals or just these 3DS remakes, but there's a lot to do and change after first completing the story. Both games have multiple different endings depending on your choices throughout them. And whenever you complete the story and get an ending, you basically earn achievements for some of your choices and accomplishments, earning you points. When you select New Game+, you can use these points to unlock various bonuses for your next playthrough. This ranges from typical New Game+ stuff like keeping some of the Demons you used or the Skills you unlocked so that you can get through the next ending more easily, potentially earning you even more points for challenges and completion bonuses in the process instead of just for that ending, to optional bosses and other new challenges, completion of which will also earn you more points, all adding up to letting you do more stuff every new playthrough. When some endings are significantly harder than others, it helps get those endings, but some of the challenges are incredibly difficult, like the "True Evil" challenge boss in DS:O. I believe DS2:RB also adds a complete second story, but that might be available from the start, I can't recall. Also, the Zero Escape series forces you to play through the story of each game multiple times to get the true endings. 999 I believe just requires getting one specific ending first, then you can do the true ending, though the other endings all hint at how to get that ending. If you try doing the true ending right away, you'll reach a door you don't know a code to and I believe a cutscene plays, giving you an alternate ending as you fail, stopped by the door, also preventing you from just looking up the code online I think. Once you get the other ending, you learn the code there, then you can do that ending and put the code in to see the rest. In Virtue's Last Reward, you can jump through various points in the game once you get an ending, and are again locked out of the true ending until you complete another ending, once again earning a code, this time a computer password that lets you continue on. And in Zero Time Dilemma, you need to get almost every ending to get the information needed to get the true ending, which in turn gives you information to get a bonus secret ending where you reveal the main villain early, and on top of that the very first "puzzle" in the game is to guess a coin flip, and while it is semi-random, the game tends towards you winning the flip the first time, which results in its own ending, so most players need to do it a second time (it tends towards the result you didn't get the second time you do it no matter what, then becomes truly random) just to play the rest of the game. All in all, each game requires multiple playthroughs to get their true endings. But only 999 requires them to be full playthroughs, as VLR lets you jump to whatever section of the game you want to continue from there to make new choices after your first ending, and ZTD is completely non-linear, letting you pick segments of the game without even telling you the proper order for the story at first, so you can just go back and do partial playthroughs just to get the right endings to get what's needed for the true endings.

Chrono Trigger doesn't change much with NG+, but it does have a ton of different possible endings.

God of War is a prime example of what new game+ should be

Falcon, I appreciate your videos, it always makes me happy to hear your voice, fly on you beautiful bird.

I would add Lords of the Fallen to that list too. Every New Game+ for that souls-like game lets you add an additional class to your character, 3 new spells, adds new items, enemy layouts and attack patterns, and a number of the achievements are only possible if you play through the game 3 times, one time per class. Plus, there are 3 different endings available in the game, and a few sidequests with 2 or 3 different options for how to play them. Mind, that's in addition to the normal stuff of keeping levels, exp, equipment, and etc.
