Comment on What are some good games with *zero* replayability?

Soma - This is such an amazing game, but it made me so mad that I would never play it again.
The Painscreek Killings - A really fun detective/mystery walking sim. You absolutely have to figure everything out yourself, as there is no hand-holding or hints given by the game. At all. But, like Return of the Obra Dinn, once you've figured out the mystery, there really is no sense in replaying it.
I was going to add some others before realizing I had a theme of mystery walking sims. I think that genre of games are pretty one and done kind of plays. They can be really great, but most don't give you a reason to go back and replay them, unless it's for achievements or something.

SOMA was great, but yeah, not much replayability once you know everything. Curious, tho, what about it made you mad?

It's been a few years since I've played it, but I remember not being a fan of the female companion. To me it felt like she was just using the main character as a means to get to her goal and nothing more. I know that's an unpopular take (I've gotten into a couple light arguments over it), but I just could not stand her by the end of the game. The way she treated the MC just made the post-credits scene so angering.

That makes a lot of sense, she did have the player do some relatively fucked up stuff that he wouldn’t have wanted done to him!
But also she was right to call him a fucking idiot for repeatedly failing to understand the core concept

Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, he was not very smart, but she did not really help either lol
