There’s nothing worse than finishing an amazing game and knowing you’ll never touch it again. Luckily, some games are so good and packed with content that they keep calling you back for more. Here are 5 games that you can play and replay, and they’ll never get old.

5. Devil May Cry 5

Devil May Cry 5 is pure style. With its fast-paced, over-the-top combat, this game keeps you hooked with every battle. After each level, you’re graded on how stylish you are in combat, pushing you to improve and chase that coveted triple S rank. With three unique characters—each boasting their own fighting styles—and difficulty levels that’ll make you question your life choices, there’s always a reason to come back. Whether you're trying to master Nero’s Devil Breakers, Dante’s insane weapon switch-ups, or V’s summons, you’ll keep playing just to prove you can get better.

4. GTA 5

Let’s be honest, GTA 5 never truly dies. You finish the epic story mode, and just when you think it’s over, GTA Online pulls you back in. Whether you’re teaming up with friends for some wild heists, running your own nightclub, or causing chaos in the open world, the possibilities are endless. There’s always something new to do, whether it’s a new DLC drop, or just messing around in the city. You could lose days here—and honestly, you will.

3. Sports Games (FC25, UFC 5, NBA 2K25)

People often joke that sports games like FC25, UFC 5, and NBA 2K25 are just the same thing every year. But let’s face it—starting a new career mode, chasing championship glory, or beating your friends in intense matchups never gets old. Every match is a fresh chance for triumph or hilarious failure (cue the Anthony meme). Plus, there’s nothing quite like trying to prove you’re the best, even if you’ve played the same game for years.

2. Elden Ring

Elden Ring is massive. You might think you’ve finished it after defeating the final boss, but deep down, you know you’ve barely scratched the surface. The game’s world is full of secret bosses, hidden quests, and so many ways to build your character that it feels like a brand-new experience with every playthrough. Want to try a magic build this time? Maybe a pure strength tank? You can play Elden Ring for years and still find something new to discover or a different challenge to take on.

1. Hades and Returnal (Roguelikes)

At the top of the list, we have Hades and Returnal, two roguelike games that keep you coming back for just one more try. Roguelikes are designed to make you start from scratch every time you die, with only your skills and maybe a few upgrades to carry over. But that’s where the addiction sets in.

In Hades, every run feels fresh thanks to new abilities, weapons, and storylines, even if you die a lot. The satisfaction of making it further each time or unlocking new character moments never gets old. Returnal cranks this up with its sci-fi horror vibe, keeping you on edge with every run. You never know what’s waiting for you next, which is what makes both of these games so satisfying to replay. The unpredictability is half the fun.
