Return of the Obra Dinn: Amazing mystery/detective game. However once you've played it, you basically can't play it again as you remember the solution already and the challenge of the game is trivialized.
Chants of Sennaar: Really great game about deciphering languages. However, once again, by playing the game once, you'll remember the languages and the game has no challenge any more.
Outer Wilds: Mystery adventure game. There is some replayability as there are perhaps areas that you can still explore, but largely once you figure out the mystery and complete the game, there's not much more to experience. Some people speedrun the game though.

All of the above games I value extremely highly even though I only played them ~8-10 hours.

Do you have any others?

Undertale, if you have a heart.

This is worth replaying as the hero and villain imo

I wouldn't be able to stomach being the villain, so I just watched someone else do it on YouTube. lol

I think I do, but I still won't play it until I play the Mother games... I don't know why I impose that rule to myself though.
