replay mode

Watch it again

Replay mode is a feature in video games and other software that lets you watch recorded gameplay or events after they've occurred.

It's used for reviewing strategy, capturing highlights, or simply reliving memorable moments: I watched the goal again in replay mode.

The term sometimes extends to any state of mentally rehashing past events: My brain was stuck in replay mode all night.
