Haven't posted a hint in ages.
28: The first game in a new IP from late last gen which some criticise for being over-milked. Two other games from this series are further up my list.
27: A game whose story many find pretentious (though I loved it). It's a puzzle game, or perhaps several different but related puzzle games rolled into one.
26: This was much higher up my list until I played the new HD remake earlier this year and I realised it wasn't really all that great. I should really stop doing that.
25: Not hugely popular amongst fans of the original. Fortunately, I've never played the original, though I do love a game in the same genre by the same developer (with a completely different setting).
24: The last great entry in this franchise to date, and the way things are looking, perhaps the last ever. I hope not, though. One important revelation in this game is that the protagonist is not alone...
23: Building on one of the best known games of all time, and complete with some questionable reproductive biology (for the first time).
