If you could forget one single game to experience it again like the first time
- Thread starter Cloud-Strife

Man, that a tough one.
Maybe Chrono Trigger. It was the game that got me into JRPGs, and I still fondly remember how it felt to experience that world, those characters, and that soundtrack for the first time.
Runner ups:
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Silent Hill 2
Metal Gear Solid
Uncharted 2
Bloodborne

Deus Ex, GTA III, or Morrowind.... probably Morrowind.
These titles released over a two year stretch and completely changed my relationship with videogames, what I valued most and how I processed them. I've never really stopped chasing those highs since. To this day the games that resonate with me the deepest share similar DNA and/or philosophies. Being able to relive any that magic like it was the first time would be everything.

That's a really tough one. I'm sure I could talk myself out of it, but it might be Suikoden 3, if only because I had the identity of the Masked Bishop spoiled for me before the game even released in the US. I'm still salty about that.
If it's purely on a "relive the first time again" situation, I'd probably say Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter. Super emotional game for me.

Obra Dinn and Outer Wilds. I kind of feel like most of the other games I would mention here I have forgotten enough that I could go back and still have close to that initial feeling but with those two they are still fresh that its going to take awhile for me to forget enough. Actually the more I think about it I think Outer Wilds will be the answer, I will likely forget the solution to 95% of the Obra Dinn characters but the ending and discovery of Outer Wilds will likely stick with me for a long time.
Xenoblade Chronicles X. I had so much fun exploring the stunning game world and the "Tatsu is food" jokes are the GOAT
Time and place for me is Half-Life 2. It was completely mind blowing to me and CS: Source and Gary's Mod were bonuses.
I'm not sure. I don't think you can go back to the headspace you were in at the time, but Discworld MUD was absolutely formative for my gaming tastes as a teenager.
Dragon Quest Monsters on GBC, this game was the tipping point for me that determined most of my interests as an adult (I Think I was 10 when it came out?) It had a greater impact on me than pokemon.
And by interests, of course, I mean japanese games, anime, and my career as an IT manager.

Absolutely VN I love such as :
Phoenix Wright series
Steins;Gate
Knowing too much makes it hard to go back.
Runners up Long ass JRPGs I love:
Xenoblade Chronicles
Persona 3
Persona 4
Pure curiousity:
FFX
and the KH series
I wonder how much of my love of them(which remains today even after recent replaying of them) was based on me playing them at the time of their releases. I wonder if I had no recollection of them, if I could fall in love with them again... I think I would, but I wonder.

Easy: The Witness
That game was like having a series of epiphanies, and figuring it out together was one of the best times my wife and I have ever had. Sure, I'd take a bump on the noggin for a do-over.

Xenogears, FFVII, ME2, AC2, UC2 Or Xenoblade Chronicles... Such a hard decision but if I could choose only one it would be FFVII.
It's the game that got my Tekken and Crash Bandicoot obsessed young teen self into rpgs and a new genre of games, after VII came FFVIII Xenogears Vagrant Story and many more.
Xenoblade Chronicles is a close second I was dying to play an epic long ass rpg and I hadn't played one since Lost Odyssey which wasn't as good as I had hoped, I was also off work post surgery so it gave me something to do for hours and hours.
It restored my love for rpg games and I can't wait to play the remake.

Demons souls without question. Can't even think of anything I would compare to my first playthrough.
It's definitely The Witness for me. The obvious reason is to resolve the puzzles, but really the lore and meditative/self reflection aspects of the game were extremely important to me and I'd love to discover that again.

Ocarina of Time - it was magical.
Resident Evil 4 - I thought games couldn't get better than this....
...and in some ways, some still haven't.
