"Review" is okay.  "Analyze" is what I'd normally say as a chess player (E.g. "Would you like to analyze the game?").  I feel "replay" is incorrect---a replay does not imply people are analyzing it; they could just be watching it.

In the board game of 围棋 (Go), many players tend to analyse skills and techniques used in a game right after they have completed it. This review is known as 复盘 in Chinese.

Is there a specific term in English which refers to the act of reviewing past games for skill acquisition?

I would say the best translation here would be `replay`, as this is what actually happens: The game is being replayed in order to improve the own skill and analyse the tactics/strategy.
Moreover, this is what Pleco offered as translation in the only available example sentence to this term:

复盘：

As username_1 said, replay seems good, or review or as it says: study the merits and faults of the game
