I just figured this one out, and I should have known it from the first hint. Jagged Alliance.

Revelation really showed what the 3DS is capable of. Graphically and in the gameplay area. This game bound me to the 3DS for many many hours. For me it best combines old strengths of the Resident Evil franchise with modernized controls and capabilities. Revelations can build a scary athmosphere as the early games could which some of the newer titles drown in masses of enemies. But at the same time the modernized controls give much more options and feel a lot better.

The game is presented in a chapter structure, which the developers felt was better fitted to a handheld. The many rereleases of the game on home consoles show that this structure is not in the least limited to handhelds. The setting on the luxurious cruisers which are empty and corrupted create that creepy atmosphere the first game had with the villa. Even as you see no enemy, but hear strange sounds, have the motions and sounds of the ship, see unsettling spots of biological contamination… this all builds to the feeling, so that the emergence of actual enemies can often feel freeing, as we finally face the threat we felt all the time.

And I am normally not too much into multiplayer, but that Raid-mode was excellent. This game was so great, that Capcom made a HD-conversion and rereleased it everywhere. The sequel Revelations 2 missed the 3DS sadly.

Got it!

30. Final Fantasy X-2

First Played: 2004

Times Completed: 6

The first real sequel to a Final Fantasy game. Usually the only thing people will praise is the battle system and while that is definitely fun, with the mid battle dressphere switching, I think the whole game is pretty good. The story is interesting, even if it can’t match FFX. Same goes for the music, most of it is pretty good with a few really good tracks that are good enough to rival the music of FFX, my favourite probably being Memories of Lightwaves. Once the tutorial segment is completed, the game has a fairly open structure. This is something I appreciate, given that this is a revisit to an already explored world with some new and revamped locations too. On top of this, there are a lot of mini games and while these aren’t amazing, I do enjoy a few of them and nothing is as bad as some of FFX’s abysmal offerings. I also like the generous New Game+ feature that carries over almost everything.

#34 - Luigi's Mansion 3 - NS

The most recent game to make it into my Top, it ended up being what I expected, a mix of the strengths of LM1 and 2 without their flaws, which makes for the perfect LM experience, oozing charm, with clever puzzles and boss battles and an incredibly diverse soundtrack, is everything I wanted out of this series and hopefully, Next Level Games can raise the bar even further if they make another one, this series is in the best hands.

#33 - Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland - PS3/NS | #32 - Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of Dusk - PS3/Soon to be played on NS.

Very well done Atelier games, they have the usual SoL tone in story and character interaction and fantastic music.

Meruru has a very great feel of progression, with her whole, building up her kingdom deal, seeing areas change and net you better materials for even better item synthesis is incredibly satisfying, with the depth that has been developing in mechanics with the Arland games.

Ayesha goes for having a bit more freedom in how you tackle your tasks like Totori without being too daunting in how much the world opens up for you, is a perfectly balanced game and a great start for the Dusk trilogy, with some more added mechanics to the alchemy that makes for my favorite system of the series.

#31 - Tales of Vesperia - Xbox 360/NS | #30 - Tales of the Abyss - 3DS

The main issue with these titles is that their starts are rather aimless before getting a more set goal and drive for the characters and that the combat system while deeper than some previous games, it takes a while to get going, so the opening hours can be boring a restrictive in how much the game allows you to do in battles.

Outside of that, these are very excellent RPGs, Vesperia being the last excellent Tales of in my eyes, they are the series at their best with the cast of characters, Abyss having some of the best developed characters in any game for me, Vesperia with one of the best soundtracks and both of these once they get going, have a very good story with the usual good messages the series leaves you with.
