Halfway through the game a potato starts helping you.
There are 3 liquids introduced in this sequel. A fast orange one, a bouncy blue one, and a moon like one.

Rip uncle

Correct.

And yeah, last year we also had very similar Top 10s.

5.Tekken Tag Tournament

As soon as I first played this game I really liked it. The music on the PS2 port is very good, and the game is obviously pretty fun to play. I like how as soon as somebody loses a health bar the whole team loses, it really makes you have to tag out the fighter for the other won rather than just playing as each character until they are eliminated.

Hint for the next game at the end.

#8
Dark Souls III
Previous Year: New

Dark Souls III is the apparent conclusion to the exceptional series of games that in the last few years has become my second favourite video game franchise of all time. Every game in the series has its own style and atmosphere that sets it apart from practically every other game in existence, and in Dark Souls III that is the feeling of finality. From its environments, to its characters and items, every element of the game is hinting at the world inevitably heading towards its ultimate end. If this really is the final game in the series, it is a worthy way for it to go out.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
Previous Year: #8

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is the game that introduced me to the entire Legend of Heroes franchise, and one of the most unexpectedly great games I've ever played. I bought the game simply because it looked like it might be an interesting distraction with a fun battle system that I could waste some time with, and instead I received what I now consider to be one of the best games of all time. The story, characters, music, battle system and visual style are all magnificent, and the writing succeeds in making the characters some of the most relatable and interesting I've ever had the pleasure of encountering in any video game. In addition, the more I've thought about the game the better it becomes in hindsight, and as a result this is one of only a few games on my entire top 50 that has actually gone up a rank from last year's list.

Hint for #6:

In the destruction of the sixteen lies the key to her resurrection, and your doom.

Yea... while you are right, I still need the actual names :)

#7 is Metroid Prime, I dunno what to say about it, kinda mentally blocked but is good that is a popular enough game here so I don't really need to explain.

So...

#6 Baten Kaitos Origins / GCN 

The best Xeno game (co-developed between Monolith soft and tri-crescendo)

The prequel to the original Baten Kaitos and one that pretty much fixes any problem that the original may have had, with its unique and challenging turn based card  battle system and uses in the overall gameplay, used to solve different kinds of puzzles and a pretty simple and engaging deck building for attacks, items, etc. which to be honest, the game gets this huge advantage over most RPGs because it implements an Ace Attorney section thanks to those cards and that is when I said, 10/10 game. Great dungeon design with some neat puzzles here and there, a story and characters (Guillo best waifu and husbando) that perfectly ties in with the original, making it one grand epic story, it even feels that they had both games planned already, since the ties and answers it gives is too perfect to be true. Is one of the best RPGs I have ever played and one of the best "sequels” to anything ever. Props to the art style as well, beautiful hand drawn backgrounds plus a town built entirely with clay and overall a really pleasant and unique aesthetic to every part of the world with another great OST from my boy Motoi Sakuraba.

Correct

#1 I wont give any hints to this one, if you know me, you know what my favourite game of all time is.

lol no. Mario 64 is long gone on this list.

As Flilix guessed correctly, my next game is Pillars of Eternity.

As the Black Isle Studios, that were once famous for their RPGs, was closed down, some of it's employees founded Obsidian Entertainment. Obsidian then produced games, mostly sequels to former Bioware-titles, another studio with a big RPG-history. But at some point Obsidian got a lot of projects cancelled. They decided to try crowdfunding on an self-developed title. The crowdfunding-campaign for Pillars of Eternity ended up being the most sucessful crowdfunding for a game at the time at 3.9 million $.

Pillars of Eternity is made in the style and as a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate and other Infinity-engine-based  titles. As these Pillars too has an isometric top-down view and real-time gameplay with pause-function to issue commands. As the infinity-titles Pillars has a rich world, many NPCs to talk to, quests to fulfill and areas to explore. In difference to Baldur's Gate the backgrounds aren't pre-rendered but are rendered in real-time, which allows for better lighting and interaction.

As Baldur's Gate you control a party of characters, of which you created the leader. The other characters join you as the plot progresses - or not, you decide which one joins your party. Pillars has not licensed D&D, but created a system that is quite similar. As they also couldn't use the campaign-setting they created their own world Eora, which is big and interesting.

Pillars of Eternity is available on many platforms, I played it on Linux. This year a crowdfunding campaign for the sequel Deadfire succeeded, which now is under production.
