Huh? If a game is good enough to re-experience, it has replay value, regardless of whether or not there's any new content to be found in doing so. >_>

Sure, games that you simply enjoy can still have replay value. But games where each play-through has variations, inherently have more replay value. Alternate character builds/classes, recruitable characters, branching story paths, alternate endings, new game+, new difficulty modes, new enemies, etc. All of that can make the replay value higher than just a straightforward, linear story with no customization or alternate paths.

Id also argue that if a mystery is only good because of the audience not knowing the twist, then it's not a really good mystery. The actual story surrounding it and how the characters reach those conclusions should be worth experiencing regardless of viewer knowledge. <_<

You're arguing two different things. A good story can still be enjoyed without the mystery. But if the audience already knows the plot, then it's literally no longer a mystery.
