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!!

4x games tend to be functionally infinitely repayable, since a single game often takes an eternity and there are usually many factions to play.

I particularly like sword of the stars 1 & 2. Honestly don't remember which I preferred but I know I got an insane amount of time sunk into both of them.

Whoah you are probably first person i encounter that enjoyed SotS 2. First one was one of the best 4x in history though.

Currently looking for a new 4x game that will scratch my itch. Been going through tons but they all seem like watered down versions that "simplify" the process. Last game I played was SpaceEmpires (4&5), completely addicting but after over a decade of bugged games I've just completely given up on it. Definitely got my playtime out of it though, great game regardless.
