What are some good games with zero replayability? (feddit.dk)

I want to try and play some more games. That feels more fulfilling if you play games that you can finish and be done with.

So what are some good games that have zero (or close to zero perhaps) replayability? I'll start with my own suggestions:

Return of the Obra Dinn: Amazing mystery/detective game. However once you've played it, you basically can't play it again as you remember the solution already and the challenge of the game is trivialized.
Chants of Sennaar: Really great game about deciphering languages. However, once again, by playing the game once, you'll remember the languages and the game has no challenge any more.
Outer Wilds: Mystery adventure game. There is some replayability as there are perhaps areas that you can still explore, but largely once you figure out the mystery and complete the game, there's not much more to experience. Some people speedrun the game though.

All of the above games I value extremely highly even though I only played them ~8-10 hours.

Do you have any others?

Subnautica.

I found it to be one of the best games I have ever played with a fantastic story that really pulled me in. If you do decide to play it, look up nothing. As in don’t even google it because it’s a slightly older game and people spoil the entire thing.

Great game, too little story line and too much grind to replay.

It's actually very granular on the grind difficulty. There's a story only mode that removes the survival elements and leaves only the material gathering for crafting. There's also a creative mode where you don't even have to gather materials and can just build whatever and go wherever and see all the story bits with almost no challenge at all. You choose how you want to go at it.

For me, it wasn't just the story, but also just randomly going out and exploring, checking things out, and finding cool (and sometimes scary) things.

It's one of those games that I'm hoping in like 10 years or something I'll have forgotten enough of it that if I go play it again it'll be mostly all new again.
