Adventure game with best replay value
Some video game critics use the category replay value in combination with other categories to rate a game.
Traditionally, the replay value is not super big for adventure games. I was just wonder what your adventure games are with the best replay value?
Mine would be probably Kings Quest VI, as it is one of my favorites, it has a little bit of different ways to finish, and i just love the setting. Another one is Leisure Suit Larry 7, not because of alternative endings, but because i enjoyed playing it again for easter eggs.
Any thoughts?
Max: Right! We’ll travel through this dimensional portal on the top of the bar!
Sam: That’s spilled beer, rockhead.
Max: Oh in that case ...
The Last Express, Edna & Harvey.

I just replayed Edna and Harvey and that was a lot of fun. I also enjoy the monkey island games to learn as many insults as I can.
Journey,
Tales from borderlands,
Ico,
Fullthrottle…its like a good biker movie,
Machinarium, Samorost,
Witness etc
Maniac Mansion - You pick a team of 3 kids each with different abilities.
Fate of Atlantis - 3 different paths through the game.
Quest for Glory I-V - Each game will be different, with different classes to play and choices to be made.
Best valued replay in adventure games.
But seriously games with
- choice and consequence and different path - Pandora Directive, recent Telltale stuff, new King’s Quest, Life is Strange, Dreamfall Chapters
- different characters or classes to choose at the beginning - Maniac Mansion, The Cave, Quest For Glory
- games with lots of stuff hidden from the main path - Edna and Harvey, Witness
- games you just love so much you have to play again and again - taste of each player
Heavy Rain, 18 different endings.
All 4 leads can get killed , each one of them can survive.
Old LucasArts stuff never gets old:
Day of the Tentacle
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (no need for different paths, always with Sophia )
Playing: 1) Broken Sword 5 2) Road 96
any non-linear adventure with vast exploration that offers a lot of locations is good to replay, those with escaping the room (or even location with 3-5 rooms) style must avoid, like secret files, chronicles of mystery, book of unwritten tales 2 .
of those Non-linear i can recommend/show-my-love for
Woodruff and the Schnibble
Blade_Runner
LSL7
Riven
New KQ
E & H
The Neverhood
...etc
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (no need for different paths, always with Sophia )
You’re missing out if you don’t try the wits path, though.
Once you get to Atlantis, the game converges again.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Depends on what is meant by “replay value.”
If “replayable” means a game where the plot is substantially different every time you play it, the “choose your own adventure” type, I have no interest at all in replaying those—or in playing them even once.
If you mean “what adventure games do I replay,” that equates to old favorites.
Nearly everyone who replays games has their personal old favorites that they like to replay once in a while.

“List your old favorites” - kind of a pointless thread, wouldn’t it be?
Quest for Glory series is an obvious choice, but it’s mostly due to the RPG nature of it.
Conquests of the Longbow, on the other hand, is pure adventure full of moral choices. The characters are very sensitive to your actions. I was hoping to see more endings though.
Legend of Kyrandia 3 is my least favourite Kyrandia, but the first and last chapters are so full of alternative solutions! Not to mention all those “extra fun” moments.
And Gabriel Knight 3 was very refreshing after the painfully linear Beast Within. There’s always something new to discover with every replay.
Oh yes, and how could I forget: The Pandora Directive. Branching dialogues, narratives, extra puzzles and alternative endings, just like they promised with the “interactive movie” label.
PC means personal computer

well that is how it works definitely, its like listening to good old songs because you remember how you (used to) enjoy them.

Well, I said The Last Express, and it’s not “choose your own adventure”, but you can still build some new “path”, hear different things if you want to replay it. As for Edna and Harvey, again the replayability comes from the fact that it’s the most richest game in terms of how the game responds to your actions, and you’re bound to experience new things if you play it again.
