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?

This game, One Chance, even goes beyond to try and make sure you only play it once

I would say Stillness of the Wind definitely falls into this category. A beautiful game about life and loss.

Observation and Deliver us the Moon

Would you count NG+ as replayability? I know for Nier Automata and Armored Core 6, it's basically part of the story and you haven't finished until you've unlocked all of the main paths. There is enough new stuff each playthrough for it to be unique though.

There is a game from the MS-DOS age of 1996 called Realms of the Haunting where you traverse large open areas for hours searching for items and interactables needed to progress.

You might clear it a second time just to make the experience seem like a linear cohesive string of events but I can't imagine you would want to clear it any more than that.
