Play Again?

It used to be I completed a game, then packed it away. I was playing less for the playing, and more to say I finished it, as though that were some kind of reward.  I was pretty wrong.  The reward is playing the game itself. It’s about the journey.

Recently I’ve erased my aversion to replaying completed titles. Sometimes I just replay specific parts of completed titles, and sometimes I want to experience the whole thing again.

It's not about distracting yourself with something and packing it away to find something new. Games are great experiences, and same as is done with movies or books, it's a good idea to re-live them, maybe with a friend next time.
