Best examples I can think of are:

  • Outer Wilds

I love Nier! I'm thought the second play through would be a slog, but they kept it really interesting imo. And starting it up for a third time was wild. Even starting that game is part of the game mechanic, it's so neat!

I would have to disagree about the second playthrough; I found it to be a very large slog. The third and subsequent playthroughs were amazing though.

To each their own! I enjoyed playing as

But I'm glad you like the other playthroughs!

Oh I enjoyed the gameplay. But the actual story of the second play through was a slog until about 75% of the way through.
