The feature in question allows players to replay a previously completed game, retaining certain items, skills, or progress from their initial playthrough. For instance, after finishing a title in the Tomb Raider series, this mode unlocks, giving users the option to start a fresh game with Lara Croft possessing the weapons and abilities acquired during the first completion.
This game mode extends the replay value considerably. Players can experience the narrative again, focusing on different aspects of gameplay such as exploration or combat, knowing they have the tools to overcome challenges more efficiently. It also offers an opportunity to uncover previously missed secrets or achievements, now equipped with superior gear. The inclusion of such a mode has become a standard expectation for many players in modern action-adventure games.
