00:00 Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we'll be counting down our picks for the games that
00:23 feature new content and/or a new perspective when you play through them again after the
00:28 first time.
00:30 If there's a game you know of that's fresh the second time, help us keep our list fresh
00:34 by sharing any we forgot in the comments down below.
00:52 The Legend of Zelda
01:03 The original Legend of Zelda game was revolutionary in many ways, from its overworld design to
01:09 its introduction of a save file system.
01:12 But another thing original Zelda pioneered was the concept of a New Game Plus, or second
01:17 quest as it's referred to here.
01:19 By either completing the game or using Zelda as your save file name, shhh, very secret,
01:26 you will see notable differences in your second time through.
01:35 Dungeons are now in different locations with different layouts and they'll be more difficult
01:40 due to stronger enemies.
01:42 Shops and heart containers are in new places as well.
01:45 With just a few tweaks, Zelda's creators gave players even more adventure.
01:54 BioShock
02:05 This atmospheric FPS is worth playing multiple times for many reasons.
02:10 For one, it has multiple endings, based on whether you play altruistically or selfishly.
02:16 Another big draw is the infamous twist, which recontextualized several moments during the
02:21 story.
02:22 And a second playthrough will open your eyes to these scenes.
02:33 Lastly, BioShock also has a New Game Plus mode, where all your weapons and upgrades
02:38 carry over while difficulty is increased.
02:42 You don't have to play through BioShock multiple times, but would you kindly give
02:47 it a try?
02:48 You never know what you might discover.
03:00 The Stanley Parable
03:10 While a basic, simple game on the surface, The Stanley Parable has depths that cannot
03:15 be reached without completing the game multiple times.
03:18 As Stanley, the player makes choices that either go in line with or against the ongoing
03:24 narration.
03:25 Depending on your choices, you'll get different endings and some can only be unlocked by
03:29 completing the game multiple times.
03:37 But you'll always restart back at the beginning.
03:40 A recent deluxe edition has added even more content and endings to this fascinating title.
03:47 Like the tagline goes, "The end is never."
03:58 Batman Arkham City
04:07 The Batman Arkham games are some quality superhero titles.
04:11 While several of them have a New Game Plus feature, Arkham City did it first.
04:16 After completing the game, players can start anew with everything they gained the first
04:20 time cleaning up Gotham's enormous super prison.
04:24 Enemies now attack without warning, plus they're stronger, faster, can take more punishment,
04:29 and they're in new locations.
04:31 Plus, you can access to fun silly features like Big Head Mode.
04:38 You don't need to be the world's greatest detective to see how fun Arkham City is, no
04:42 matter which playthrough you're doing.
04:50 Shovel Knight Treasure Trove
05:00 Shovel Knight has no shortage of content, with multiple DLCs and releases adding tons
05:05 of content to this already fantastic retro platformer.
05:09 But in Treasure Trove, the all-in-one edition, even completing the game once is enough to
05:14 unnerve a new challenge.
05:23 New Game Plus lets players retain all their equipment and upgrades, but in compensation,
05:28 you'll also take double damage.
05:31 There will be few healing items, and there aren't as many checkpoints this time around.
05:36 While the individual campaigns have a few unique features of their own, these are generally
05:40 the features you'll see in all of them, and it's hard not to dig deeper into every nook
05:45 and cranny of this amazing game.
05:53 Silent Hill 2
06:07 Survival horror games may be a dime a dozen, but Silent Hill 2 is one of the most celebrated
06:13 in the genre.
06:14 If players want to experience the full measure of the game's mind-bending story and grim
06:19 atmosphere, they need to complete the game multiple times.
06:26 The game's multiple endings can only be unlocked by playing through several times,
06:31 with conditions ranging from interacting with certain characters more to using certain items.
06:36 Speaking of items, playing a New Game Plus will also unlock some weapons, such as the
06:41 Hyper Spray.
06:43 Silent Hill 2 is a strange and terrifying experience, but at least it's a diverse
06:47 one.
06:55 Souls Series
07:04 The Souls franchise is infamous for its difficulty, and starting a New Game Plus only adds more
07:09 of a challenge for players.
07:11 While there are slight differences in the New Game Plus modes between the various sub-series
07:15 within the Souls franchise like Sekiro, Bloodborne, and even Elden Ring, they all have things
07:21 in common.
07:23 Starting a New Game Plus will let players keep all their items and levels, except things
07:27 that open doors.
07:36 Checkpoints are also usually maintained.
07:38 The biggest difference is in the difficulty of the enemies, who are harder to kill and
07:44 give greater rewards upon defeat.
07:46 New Game Pluses in Souls games are especially notable for the fact that they stack.
07:52 Each new playthrough is harder than the last.
08:03 Hades
08:13 Repeat playthroughs are built into Hades from the beginning.
08:17 As Agrius, you will die repeatedly in your quest to defeat Hades and escape the underworld.
08:23 But while every playthrough is different, you can switch things up even more after you've
08:27 defeated Hades once.
08:29 This will unlock the Pact of Punishment.
08:37 This screen allows you to alter the difficulty of the game in various ways, usually by upping
08:42 the strength of the enemies and bosses.
08:44 By completing the game with these turned on, you will receive greater rewards and you can
08:49 advance certain side quests.
08:51 Hades can feel hellish at the best of times, but going through these challenges feels positively
08:56 heavenly.
09:05 Undertale
09:14 Undertale is one of the most celebrated indie games ever made.
09:18 And aside from the great battle mechanics, amazing music, entertaining characters, and
09:23 other great things about it, a major point of praise is its replayability.
09:28 Depending on your choices and approach to enemy encounters, the ending and some major
09:32 plot points will be different.
09:39 Some variations of the endings can also only be viewed if you've already beaten the game
09:44 once on a different route.
09:46 There's also an optional hard mode that will increase the difficulty of enemies and change
09:50 some of the dialogue.
09:52 Regardless of which route you choose or how many times you play it, you're always going
09:57 to have a good time with Undertale, even if you have a bad time.
10:06 NieR Automata
10:14 NieR Automata instantly made waves in the gaming community with its striking character
10:19 designs, engaging and varied gameplay, and masterfully told story.
10:24 It's the last of these that earns it the top spot on our list.
10:28 To get the complete narrative of NieR Automata, players need to complete the game at least
10:33 three times.
10:43 And while there are around five primary endings, there are 26 different variations or alternate
10:48 endings too.
10:49 Thankfully, NieR Automata makes the experience enjoyable, even if it's pretty heart-wrenching.
