Right franchise, wrong game. Skyrim doesn't give levels for walking or jumping, and the weapon choice is more lacking.

The only Elder Scrolls game I've played is Morrowind, so I'll guess that one.  (I suppose I should have gone with it first.)

That's correct! Unfortunately franchises change for the worse as time goes on sometimes.

#22 is still unguessed ( @Darashiva  I have a feeling you know this):

#24 Guessed by The_Liquid_Laser: Return to Zork

#23 Guessed by The_Liquid_Laser: Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

#22 Guessed by The_Liquid_Laser: UFO: Enemy Unknown

a) This is the first entry in a series, where you command a group of units through various missions.

b) Steal… *ahem* research the technology from defeated enemies.

c) Missions are turn-based, but outside the mission you manage your bases, troops, equipment and funds in real-time.

d) Learn mind-control.

#21 Guessed by Darashiva: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

#20 (kinda) Guessed by The_Liquid_Laser: Fire Emblem Awakening

22 X-Com?

#23 - When you die, you need to go back to collect your loot (and it's not Dark Souls)

#22 - It wouldn't be unreasonable for you to believe the initial city is all there is - and then you realize it's just a dot in a giant map.

#21 - Dark Coffee

#20 - Turned the 3DS from a laggard to a powerhouse. 

#19 - Who'd have thought this beautiful, azure, game would ever come to switch?

#18 - The last 20% of this game wasn't even part of the original release, but it is widely considered among the very best parts.

#17 - Me and my talking boat.

23 Describes every MMO before WoW.  Everquest?

21. GTA San Andreas?

20 Mario Kart 7?

19 Sonic Mania?



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

#17 - Correct @Mnementh!
#22 - Correct @ S.Peelman!

I think I made some of my hints too broad/vague.

#23 - When you die, you need to go back to collect your loot (and it's not Dark Souls).
But as a matter of fact, you kill a soul to get it back in this 2D game.

#21 - Dark Coffee
Same series as #18.

#20 - Turned the 3DS from a laggard to a powerhouse.
The sequel introduced 4-player co-op.

#19 - Who'd have thought this beautiful, azure, game would ever come to Switch?
Microsoft.

#18 - The last 20% of this game wasn't even part of the original release, but it is widely considered among the very best parts.
Same series as #21.

22 X-Com?

Yeah. I know the game under the international name UFO: Enemy Unknown, but in America it was X-COM: UFO Defense.

#21 - Pokemon Black and White (DS)
Up 10 spots from last year

Pokemon Black and White were bold. They took Pokemon in new directions, introducing triple/rotation battles, new comms systems, 156 new Pokemon (which it forced you to use) and many more great features (seasons, etc.)

These games are an incredibly high mark in the series, with a good story (it and its sequels the only good story in mainline Pokemon), great music and a fantastic region. I've poured 100s of hours into them over the years, and am deeply saddened that the precedent they set hasn't been followed by subsequent Pokemon games. They are fantastic.

@Moren : Hah, I figured Metroid would’ve been correct.

Alright I’ll give a second hint for mine, it’s an easy to guess game. Especially when considering it’s me.

#21: Grief.
#21 (Hint 2): The five main areas in this game are supposedly based on it.
