As someone who likes to replay the games I have it tends to not be as interesting and mysterious as the first time I went through it on account of knowing what to expect. I have 3 games in particular I wish I could go through for the first time again:
- Persona 4 Golden: supposedly the plot twist that revealed the villain to be adachi was spoiled for many somehow didn't get to me luckily. It was my first encounter with the persona series and the megaten franchise as a whole. I never would've guessed him to be the villain.
- Yakuza Kiwami 2: for me, this one is ranking high on my personal tier list in the RGG series despite it being seen as a weaker entry by most fans. Not only because remake bad, original good mentality, but fans consider the story to be outshined by the plots of other yakuza titles. I loved it however, even If combat did feel very clunky.
- Fallout 4: an even more divisive title. Also my introduction to fallout. I don't know how to describe it but listening to Skeeter Davis' "The end of the world" while wandering the Commonwealth was such a vibe. For some reason the next playthroughs the song would hardly ever play when others would get much more time on DCR. Also I strangely prefer nervous Travis on the radio rather than the more confident one. Feels so forced.
