I've replayed some classics for nostalgia, and to show people my favourites.
I replayed all the Halo games up to 4 a couple years ago. I've replayed Half Life / 2 / Episodes more than once. I've been playing GTA4 a bit again as well. I've played most SNES games a few times, the highest being Super Metroid, Super Mario World, and Link to the Past (probably my most played game).
The only recent games I've played more than once are Hollow Knight, the Ori games, and Dark Souls 1 / 3. I am definitely looking forward to replaying Bloodborne and Sekiro someday... still waiting for that BB remake :|
I replay Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger at least once a year. The Megaman X games and Zelda Link to the Past get frequent replays as well. I've recently replayed all the Quake games as well, all great in their own way. I especially like Quake 4 and would love to see a continuation of that story. C'mon ID, Quake 5 when?
You have mention Skyrim specifically. I got it on my PS3 (terrible port, btw) and played the hell out of it! I got all trophies (achievements) with my first character, I have been to very cave, did everything thegame had to offer. And then, after finishing the last thing, I suddenly asked myself "What now?" The game gave me all there was, I absorbed it and now what??? I eventually finished it second time using only warhammer as my damage dealer, no bow, no damaging spells. Then, after finishing the game with freaking flying dragon as you main enemy using only warhammer, I have seen everything. I have never played the game again.
Fast forward a bit.
Witcher 3 - finished on my Switch and soon I'm gonna go through it once more on Steam Deck. I have forgotten all the little things the game has and I feel the need to play it once again.
Zelda BotW. Finished after around 120 hours, I would call it 99% completion. I want to play it again. I have forgotten... the same as Witcher :-)
I have replayed Oblivion two times (main quest) and once done almost 100% playthrough. I will get back to it again, as I still haven't explored al the dungeons and caves (unlike Skyrim).
I have olayed SW KotOR 1&2 a few times being light character everytime. I will get back to them again.
I have played the shit out of Fallout2 back in the day, we are probably talking 10+ playthroughs. And I will play it again. Together with 1, 3 and New Vegas.
I have finished Final Fantasy X two times in rather quic succession (in half a year probably). I love the story!
I hae finished Earthlock and I will never play it again. Kinda good game, don't need to play again though. I have finished Syberia series of games and won't probaly play then again. Not 3, I'm sure. Maybe others. They are great games, I love the theme, but no real reason to replay for me.
So it really depends on the game itself. Is it good enough that i keeps my interest to play it again and get almost or totally the same experience? Is it made to be replayable (RPG woth difderent skills etc.)? Is it made to be replayable but lacks in some other way?
Aside from NES games like Super Mario Bros, rarely.
I have 1400+ games in my library across multiple platforms, and I prefer trying as many of them as possible. I'm not really a person who 100%'s a game.
I have only replayed 3 games since I started tracking my played games:
Control: I was playing this on PS Now (streaming) until the game crashed and my save file corrupted. Replayed it on my Steam Deck.
A Way Out: Played it with once with my previous flatmate and once with a family member, since it's fairly short and there aren't many co-op games like it.
Toodee and Topdee: Started it singleplayer and completed about 60%, then restarted it and switched to multiplayer to play it with my housemate. The levels are the same.
I've got way too many games to play through even the first time, why would I spend time playing something I've already played?
Same with TV-Shows, I've got thousands and thousands of hours of unwatched shows, I don't want to rewatch a show I've already seen again.
I think Farscape and Babylon 5 are the only ones I've seen more than once. Farscape at least 4-5 times =)
