15. Persona Q

14. Wizardry 8

#15: Persona Q is right.

#14: This isn't. My updated hint reads: a *spin-off* of an old RPG-series.

Hints for my next couple of games.

12.  I waited 25 years for this Switch game to be released.  It comes from a series I used to really love, but I didn't like the direction the series took for about 25 years.

11.  This is a one-of-a-kind RPG from a classic PC RPG series.  I actually played an NES port though.  The only modern game that is even remotely like it is Octopath Traveler.  But really, it was a one-on-a-kind RPG in it's day (and popular), and it still hasn't really been emulated since.

#12: Breath of the Wild

#11: Ultima III: Exodus

#12 is correct.

#11 You are on the right track.  However Ultima III is the opposite of a one of a kind game.  Every JRPG is based on it.

Your #14 is Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land

Everything else has been guessed except this game, so here's a second hint for it.
#13:
-The cycle goes on forever, unless you reject the throne
-Using an Effigy achieves what Humanity and Embers do in the other games

Dark Souls 2

Quick second hint;

#16: The sound of an instrument in this game was later used in the intro of a game in another franchise.
#16 (Hint 2): It’s a nice soothing sound. But more importantly, this flute warps you to another world.

16.  Super Mario Bros 3?



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 - Advanced V.G. 2: As a fan of this fighting franchise, I have to say that Advanced V.G. 2 is by far the best game in the series. The gameplay is very fast, the combos are insane, and the story mode is probably the best I ever saw in a fighting game. The cutscenes are incredible. The only sad thing about this game is that you can't play as the Final bosses in Arcade Mode.

Yes! Mario 3 is correct.

That sounds like Crusader Kings but since I've not played it I don't know it it features Effigies.

No, I've never actually played Crusader Kings either. The right answer was Dark Souls 2.

16 - Same series as #12

15 - There is a track in this game which mixes the themes of two characters - one a sad theme, one a more medieval one - for an epic theme to combat the siege.

14 - This updated version outsold the original, and is on track to 20M

13 - In this Mario Game, you start at Bowser's castle, and things only get much crazier from there

12 - You play as the side-character of #16, and a new OP one that can glide anywhere

11 - If you use the flute within the flute world, it will take you even further

20

The Last of us (PS3)

This title caused a great impact, I spent moments of tension, followed the path of the characters; They made me think and feel with them. It is special.

19

Divinity: Original Sin II (PC)

It is ambitious, beautifully composed, fun and even more.

18

Super Mario 64 (N64)

Spoiler: It was difficult not to include odyssey however I cannot ignore one of the best games of my childhood.

17

Shadow of the colossus (PS2)

Art

16

Final fantasy X (PS2)

I loooove this game, I love the characters, love the music, story, gameplay, everything is amazing. FF8 is good as well. I hope the series gets better.
