More Cyberpunk and Heartbreaks.
I love Red Strings Club, but repeating the same experience over and over again seems wrong to me. I'd just spoil the game for myself, because most choices in such a game are usually an illusion. Anybody that's longing for more great dialogues, more great setting, and serving more drinks, should play Va-11-Hall-A. There are no choices, but the plot was so damn interesting, that i didn't mind. Strongly Recommended.

I don't mind the "choice is illusion" in this kind of games. If anything, I welcome it.
The game market is oversaturated and more interesting games are coming out than I'm physically able to play. So having to replay any game is a huge time waster for me.

The choices do let me think, what would I answer in this situation? What do I want to achieve? But ultimately, knowing it will lead to the same results, allows me to relax and continue on to the next game, not spending extra time on finding out other branches.

My experience of narrative "choice" games is in line with you both. It's far more enjoyable to play once and avoiding shattering the choice illusion. Even when a choice is truly impactful, the meaning is weakened if you go back and revise it later.
