Discussion Thread – The 13th Annual Greatest Games Event

#36 (incorrect guesses - A Short Hike)
- Do you want to go hiking or mountain climbing?
- I killed him earlier, why’s he still on the floor? Oh well, I’ll walk past and… no, wait, he’s alive, and more deadly than before.
- Opening that door is a riskier move this time around.

#35 - guessed correctly - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
- If you rest long enough in a certain place on that train ride, you will get a nasty surprise.
- The Switch version of this popular crowdfunded game got off to a rough start.
- It's pretty much an entry in a popular series in all but name. No surprise given who was at the helm.

#34
- The guy who dies shortly after you arrive on location shares his name with a guy who suffers a similar fate in a movie franchise that no doubt influenced this game.
- Whether you get more puzzles or more combat depends on which team mate you choose to follow at certain points.
- Made in the same mould as another, more popular series from the same developer. Although this game utilises 3D environments, which the other series hadn't done at this point.

#33
- Smelling of urine isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
- And looking at the guard’s butts can be advantageous at one point too.
- You could run into issues early on if you haven't got the case.

#32 - guessed correctly - Goldeneye 007
- That damned doctor can make or break a run for a frustrating unlockable.
- No doubt countless arguments broke out because someone decided to be the little guy.
- There's two levels that aren't tied directly to the source material, but certainly make sense as a bonus.

#30
- Now you have to collect stat points and equipment upgrades, rather than finding / earning the money to do so.
- Features the first appearance in the series of a person better known for featuring on a stunt / prank show.

#29
- Features a soundtrack of original songs from fictional bands, that was also available on a separate CD.

#28
- This game was named differently depending on the region of release. The recent re-release combined these two names in a way that is pretty clever when you think about it

My list so far
