Antichamber - clever first person puzzle game. I played it exactly once and I loved it.
I replayed it after many years. It was fantastic, now I need to wait another many years to forget the solution.
The older you get the more often you'll be able to play!
I'd place Superliminal in this category as well.
Superliminal was cool, but I just didn't enjoy it. It was fun for a bit, but I feel like the mechanic overstayed it's welcome for how simple it is. There's not very many unique ways to use it. That's probably why Valve abandoned the idea too.
Still, it's interesting and worth a shot. Plenty of people love it.
You can replay it to find all the extra secrets though
This goes for most of these first person puzzle games. Once you solve the puzzle its not very fun to do it again.
Portal 1 and 2, the Witness, Talos Principle 1 and 2, Manifold Garden - all worth a play through. Next on my list to try is Viewfinder.
I play through both Portal games every few years; maybe every 5 or 6. I think I’m due again soon.
I feel portal could be replayed if you focused too hard on the puzzles the first time through, there were quite a few secrets worth exploring in that world, though none too deep unfortunately
I kind of got bored of manifold garden. I guess it was the lack of any story. I just had no motivation to continue.
I feel like portal 2 can get by on a playthrough every so many years based on the writing/VA making it enjoyable even if you half remember the puzzles.
Good suggestion, I played it many years ago as well :)
Copying my comment from elsewhere in this thread
I was going to write anti chamber, because I never want to play it again, but %'s 30-90 of the way through the game I was itching to start over. It had me so hooked, but then the ending just took the wind out of the sails so hard. Heck maybe 10-98% of the game had me itching to replay it.
Awesome game. I was high on cannabis when I played it, and managed to beat it in one sitting about 10 years ago. I want to play it while high on shrooms, that would be even crazier.
