I love the original Hotline Miami but I’m not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.
Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that’s because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas’ ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell’s house.
Unless we’re talking non narrative PvP or something, I’ve yet to find a game that I enjoy replaying!
Blighttown.
Mass Effect 3.
Those damn dream sequences.
Dark souls. Everything after Anor Londo is a bit of a slog. Once you’ve beat Snorlax and Pikachu the game gets a bit worse in terms of quality.
The new wolfenstein. My god so many cutscenes. Is it too much to ask to just have fun game mechanics/dynamics? I bought a game didn’t I?
