Let's say you're playing a game and for one reason or another you end up putting it down. Not because you didn't like it, maybe life stuff happened or you hit a tough spot and just couldn't get past it. If a solid amount of time passes by and you decide to pick it up again, do you feel like the immersion has been broken and you need to restart?
The example for me I'm thinking of is Resident Evil 2 (Remake). When I first picked it up years ago, I started with Claire A. I got really deep and got stuck in a boss fight with little to no ammo. Tried loading a previous save to scrounge more ammo but I was finding nothing. Felt like I was cooked so a while after that I started the game over with Leon A this time. Last time I played was probably over a year ago and I was in a similar position.
Right now I'm playing RE4 Remake and it's one of the best games of all time in my opinion. I feel like I'm also getting better at the mechanics of these RE Remakes, so I might have better luck not working myself into a corner if I give RE2 another go. But I tend to be one of those people that hates jumping back into something after such a gap.
I'm leaning towards replaying it from the start, honestly. I feel like I might regret not doing so because it might feel more complete.
