8 Games That Need Multiple Playthroughs to Get the Most out of Them

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt

Recommended Videos

I know what you’re thinking: “I can barely finish one playthrough of The Witcher 3, let alone multiple!” While it is indeed a long game, I can assure you that CD Projekt Red’s final installment in Geralt of Rivia’s trilogy really should be played more than once.

Like other games on this list, there are so many choices and stories that simply can’t be experienced the first time around.

Whether it is the fact that you choose one path over another or simply rushed to the ending in order to get to the climax, plenty of small and large details can be missed the first go around.

The power of hindsight also allows Geralt to possibly choose which of the three endings he’d like his surrogate daughter to get to experience – as well as who he could end up with romantically.

If that isn’t enticing enough, The Witcher 3’s new game plus mode allows Geralt to carry over all of the inventory and skills he earned by the end of the first playthrough.

Enemies are also scaled accordingly, allowing for those looking for more of a challenge a few hundred more hours of monster hunting fun.
