15: Bioshock

Last chance to guess my #13. I'll give one more hint for it here.

#13: (1) Many kings have come and gone, one succumbed to poison, another to flame, still another sleeps under a city encased in ice, and for each king a queen appeared, a fragment of the soul of the first man, all searching for purpose. (2) Many kingdoms have come and gone, but this one was called Drangleic. (3) Many undead have come and gone, but only one can take the throne and start the cycle anew. (4) Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the old Iron King, Crown of the Ivory King.

#17 Correct!

#21 Correct!

#22 Wrong. The genre is right, though.

#15 Correct. And not that I know of, but it's a pretty obvious hint.

#12 Nope.



#17 The Secret of Monkey Island
guessed by Darashiva
platform DOS
release year 1990
developer/publisher Lucasfilm Games (later called LucasArts)
genre point-and-click adventure
links Wikipedia
last year  #20

The LucasArts adventures were a great portion of my gaming youth. I played the first two Monkey Island games, but the first one I liked better, because I think the humour is more on spot. If you like point-and-click adventures there is really no way to avoid the great Monkey Island games by Ron Gilbert (the first two).

The story is about the guy, Guybrush Threepwood, who wants to become a pirate. He seeks out the pirate elders who task him with some trials to become a pirate. These alone are hilarious. Additionally Guybrush falls in love with the governor of the island Elaine Marley and tries to win her heart. And then are these rumours about the undead pirate LeChuck.

13.  Dark Souls 2



More clues:

20.  This PS1 RPG has a great story, fantastic characters and time tested gameplay, but dammit if I didn't just spend a lot of time Chocobo digging anyway.
19.  This game doesn't seem so bad until you get to Death Mountain.  It's a good thing those ladies heal you up at their house.
18.  This strategy JRPG is a fantastical take on WWII.  First in the series.
17.  Sid Meier finds a way to bring his most famous series to the PS3 and XBox360.
16.  "Green Warrior is about to die!"
15.  The first time plastic instruments offered 4 players simultaneously.
14.  In this arcade classic you can choose to play as a male barbarian, a female barbarian, or a dwarf.
13.  Although this game first released on the PS3 and XBox360, it feels old school, probably because of the difficulty.
12.  This Switch game returned to the open world roots of the original game in the series.
11.  This game is the origin of a popular gaming term.  The term means, "this is the character in the game that represents me."

Forgot to post 13. Here’s the hint for the next one anyway;

#12: The only game I know of where you are a beachball rolling around on floating blocks in ancient Egypt.
