Is NG+ content worth experiencing and if so, how many times?

[River's]

Hi all, I am staying away from spoilers hence the possibly unclear question.

I would like to know if there are good reasons to play through this game multiple times, and if so how many times that is.

As an example of an NG+ I consider worth playing, Sekiro has multiple endings/routes with brand new bossfights. On top of that, each ending unlocks a boss rush mode and a skin is bound to that.
As an example of an unworthy NG+ (for me specifically), the Dark Souls trilogy only has a very limited number of new equipment in NG+.

So again, does AC6 have a worthy NG+ mode and if yes how many playthroughs in total should I do?

Thank you!

Yes you get more parts

[rgbRandomizer]

There are three endings with the third being only accessible after seeing the other two. In Ng+/++. new and alternate missions show up. Besides more parts you mostly get new lore.

I'm at 200 hours. Yes, it's worth it to experience.

How many times? How much do you like this game?

Hello

This will be a bit of a long comment but I'll try to cover the most important things for you

If I have explained something completely wrong or something is still missing, feel free to correct me

I try to give as much information without spoilers

If you do everything right you have to play through the game 3 times
So NG/NG+/NG++ but if you don't know what exactly the criteria are, you might end up doing certain missions wrong and therefore have to finish the stroy and start again from the beginning (I would definitely suggest that if you don't have that much time Playing AC6 or you just find it annoying to do something unnecessarily watch a guide to know what you have to do, the important thing is just to look at which missions you have to do and not let yourself be spoiled)
Unfortunately I had to play this 4 times, if you think about it properly it's usually clear what to do but not always

What's important to know is that there are 3 endings, two of which are easy to get. Since I don't want to spoil you, I can't say what you have to do exactly, but it's pretty obvious

To get the third ending you have to have completed both others, i.e. defeat the final bosses. For the third ending you have to choose the right missions and complete them, since there are decision-making missions it is important to choose the right ones


let's talk about NG+ and NG++

you get more combat logs that you couldn't get before
more weapons and parts for your AC

In NG+ you get 2-3 new missions or modifications of them + the other end missions

In NG++ you get some believe 11 new or modified missions and the new end missions

the stroy in NG++ will also be quite different (more plot, other dialogue etc)
The missions are getting harder (one mission was harder for me than the final boss even though I had a good loudout and weapons)

If you want all the combat logs (i.e. all weapons and armor) you definitely have to play the final missions of the third ending because they can only be found there, there are also weapons there that can be found in the levels.

There are several more arena missions, some of which are also challenging.

For me, NG+ and NG++ were totally worth it because I simply enjoy repeating the missions with different loudouts.
Stroy also becomes exciting again and there are some plot twists

But you have to know for yourself whether you have the time for it and whether you enjoy it. I think the weapons you find there are not used that often in PvP, but I can't say for sure because I haven't played PvP enough.
But having all the weapons and parts can never hurt

I hope this helped a little, if you have any questions Im happy to answer them

Yes. Absolutely. Each loop up to NG++ has a moderate amount of new content. I enjoyed the game enough that I've gotten all endings twice.

[Lincrono]

It's absolutely worth playing all 3 routes. the end-game part unlocks are a lot of fun, and the new missions/bosses bring a decent experience to the table. I'm generally not a completionist, but the pace and spectacle of each of the end bosses, or the missions leading to them, is worth the time spent replaying old content, which I had a blast doing with new toys and meme-builds.

Really itching to buy this game but just a couple things.

I'm personally not interested in the PvP side of things so would this be completely worth it for just the PvE?
One thing I'm really interested in is the customisation aspect of the game and would love to mess around with different builds but was wondering how forgiving is the game in regards to build meta? Would I need a guide to follow for working builds or can I just wing it?
Also would you say the recommended system requirements is accurate? It seems a lil on the low side for how good the game looks.
