Next set of hints.

#20

-You can eat a fish to end things early (Nier: Automata)

#19

-In something of a rare case, this game has an unreliable narrator as the main character

-The main character has confused his own past with that of his friend who passed away

#18

-Shards of the primordial man became queens of the kingdoms

-Everything leads back to the first sin

#17

-Moving the statues out of alignment changes the world

-The game is divided into two parts, the dividing line between the two being the moving of the statues mentioned in the previous hint

#16

-All life on earth was extinguished around a thousand years ago

-It was brought back, but not in the way that was intended, thanks to one man's fragile ego and nihilism

19) Final Fantasy VII

Not too sure about the others but I'll venture some guesses:

18) Dark Souls II?

17) Xenoblade Chronicles?

Very beautiful and easy hint for the last game before the top 20. New year's is closing in fast, too fast...

Ori and the Blind Forest?

Last chance for these two, they've been hanging round a while.

#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.
- There's a moment late on where running is a risky move. You're in trouble if you haven't cleared the hallways beforehand.
- A lot of iconic dialogue is now sadly missing.
- A remake of a game that was originally intended to be a remake itself

#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.
- There's also a Marvel character and a Star Wars character available as unlockables.
- Like other games in this series, it features a soundtrack of licenced songs from rock and hip hop artists
- The game's title features the name of probably the most prominent figure from this particular field.

My list so far

30) Took me a while to realize but this is a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game right? Don't know the series well though so I'll just say... 3?
