Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable? (lemmy.ml)

I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.

I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.

Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.

!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!

I want to get into Stellaris but everytime I start I realize I'll have to play 1000 hours before I understand the basics and close the game.

It's really not as complicated as you might think. If you just start playing you will understand the basics very quickly. The game also mostly drip feeds you the new mechanics as you play and unlock them, and you start with a single planet so it's not overwhelming at first.

The only thing that gets really complicated in my opinion are the ship armament matchups. But if you autogenerated or specialize your ships you don't need to know much about it, just look up a basic fleet comp for numbers of frigates, destroyers, etc.

The only time that really matters is if you're taking on the end game crisis or sleeping empires or whatever, because specializing your craft against that threat will give you at least double your fighting efficiency or more. Feels fucking awesome.

I recommend you dont play a hivemind or robots on your first playthrough. I really enjoy interacting with the different species and cultures as my civilization expands, and you can do that with an iron fist or with an open hand.

The basics are really as simple as the 3 point supply chains in Settlers 1, 30 years ago. Also you can try on easiest difficulty level and set up something like tutorial galaxy with almost no enemies to learn.
