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?

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.

as much I love the genre, but most single player 3D action/adventure platformer games that are based around a story OR fully arcade-y.

both aspect looses their point if you 100% the game.

Like, I just finished New Super Lucky's Tale, and though it was an excellent 3d platformer, I don't think I'll start a new game.

but not only 3D games. Like Shovel Knight also falls into this category. Amazing and exciting game, but other than a harder difficulty (as New Game+), it doesn't really have too much of a replayability.
