What game has the most replay value?

Slay the Spire probably tops that list for me. It's a deck building roguelike and each run goes for approximately an hour (or less when you die)

Heroes ii is better.
There's a Linux port that is excellent:

Me and my kids do whole family games. Highly enjoyable.

never liked it... but I think it's because I was introduced to Heroes iii first, so in comparison the second game just looks UUUGGG-LYYY

Funny how the first taste of something is often the defining taste.
It is pretty uggo.

indeed, it's freaking AWESOME. Nailed it there.
I love, too, that people TWO DECADES LATER still make custom fan maps for it

I still play it man. I think I've played it at least once every year since it came out. Crazy. And it's still good. And I even showed my kids and they like it too.

Civ 4 had the best mods

I don’t remember if it was 4 or not, but one of them had a mod that made everything cost scarce resources to build. It also introduced a bunch of new resources like timber and cloth.
It made the game almost impossible but I still loved it.

I mostly remember playing a total overhaul that turned the whole game into a fantasy themed world. Every civ had totally different playstyles, and there was a world-ending armageddon event that everyone had to deal with.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work on my modern computer anymore, otherwise i'd keep playing it

I vaguely recall that. I don’t think I got very far in it but it was pretty cool.

Phantasy Star and Super Mario World. Play through both of them every 10 years or so. I got my son into Super Mario World a few years ago when we got him a Super Nintendo mini. He has played through it a few times since then. He never got into Phantasy Star but I played through it again last year when I picked it up for the Switch for $5.

Yes, just the original on sega master system though. I have tried to get into the others but just can't seem to do it. I have started both 2 and 3 but no luck. Maybe I will try again.
Yeah I am old. I know.

My favorite old school RPG was Lunar on Sega CD. I don't think it was ever re-released.

Never played that one. I switched over to Nintendo consoles when Super Nintendo was released. I did play a lot of Sega Genesis with my friends and years later I had a dreamcast.

I had Sega/Sega CD and eventually Playstation. Super NES was the one Nintendo console that I missed as a kid.
I really play video games anymore, so im pretty far behind the new consoles.

Definitely get a kick out of replaying Cyberpunk 2077. Have to give it a few months between replays, but there are a lot of builds and so many ways to approach the missions that it always feels new.
On my third playthrough I found, totally by accident, a whole new section of a mission that I'd never seen before, and completing it made a major change to one of the storylines.

I agree with Super Mario World. The final fantasy games are great to reply too. SNES overall has lots of games that are fun over and over. Even my daughters like the games like 30 years later
