Replay value

potential of a video game for continued play after finishing it

Replay value (colloquially known as replayability) is a term used to figure out how fun it is to play a game after the player completed it already.[1] Factors that may change the replay value are the game's additional characters, secrets or multiple endings.

Example of replay value: varying story paths in Shadow the Hedgehog.
