Usually jump through the common route and go directly to the most favorite character. If a game worth playing again it must put strong impression and it's easily to catch up the story.
 
If I have enough time, I want to start from the beginning!
But if the reason I quit was because it was boring or not fun, it might be better to just start from the middle.

I usually continue if I still remember the plot or stuff from the common route. If it has been long enough where I completely forgot the story then I restart.
 
I'll continue, despite my horrible memory I tend to catch up with the plot quite quickly, even if it been years since I played it and probably "left it for later because reasons" at the common route or after finished only one route.
 
I've actually been struggling with the same thing lately. I have way too many games that I started but never finished, because I always get distracted by new releases. So when there aren't any new games coming out, I tend to go back and try to continue the ones I left halfway through.

It feels like a bad habit sometimes—so many games I've never properly finished. When I do go back, I usually check how much I still remember about the story before deciding whether to restart or just continue. Because even if I do start from the beginning again, there's still a chance I might end up dropping it halfway again.
 
I restart the entire game, it's good because sometimes I forget things and it's also good to get back into the rhythm of the game and relive things again!
 
I'll just keep playing instead of starting over.For the games I like, it's hard for me not to finish them in one time.Most games that stop for ages in the middle aren't ones I really like.So I usually don't spend too much time on scenes I've already seen, even if I can't remember them anymore.
 
I prefer to restart. I have bad memory; Even if I remember the plot vividly, it still feel like I'm not full immersed with the story yet.
