Which PS1 game’s replay value surprised purchasers?

Back when I first picked up my PlayStation, I assumed every game would eventually feel repetitive once I’d beaten it. But a handful of titles shattered that expectation by offering hidden secrets, branching storylines, or mini-games so addictive that I kept coming back months later. Which PS1 release gave you that “one more round” feeling far beyond credit roll? Was it the loot hunts, the character unlocks, or perhaps an especially memorable New Game+ mode?

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 really surprised purchasers with its replay value. The addictive "one more run" gameplay, combined with extensive create-a-skater/park modes and constantly chasing high scores and collectibles, kept players hooked for countless hours. It was endlessly fun to master.

Resident Evil's multiple scenarios and unlockable weapons created this completionist drive I didn't expect - beating it once just revealed how much content I'd missed the first time.
