Why Older Games Get Replayability Right

In an age of blockbuster, cinematic games, it feels like something essential has been lost. Modern titles might be visually stunning and story-driven, but how many of them do we actually want to replay? In this video, ‪@EposVox‬ and I dive into why older games—like God of War 2, Halo 3, and countless classics—get replayability right, striking a balance between engaging gameplay and memorable experiences. We discuss how modern AAA games have shifted toward ‘one-and-done’ playthroughs, often prioritizing visuals and narratives over core gameplay. From simpler controls to timeless game design, there’s a reason older games keep calling us back. Join us as we explore what made these classics stick and why they’re still worth revisiting today. #gaming #gamingvideos
