Had a notification that someone had replied to one of my posts, but I can't see anything in the thread, so apologies if someone has already had a guess at some of these.

29
- This ‘trophy’ of sorts you get by defeating a powerful enemy was once required to progress through the game, but now it’s just a means to make some money.
- And you used to be able to avoid those deadly sisters, but now you have to face them.
- You don’t ride the mine cart(s) alone this time round. And you have to use your companion’s gun to take out the enemies and hazards during these cart rides - no choice of weaponry like before.

27 (incorrect guesses - Resident Evil 4)
- Whilst conservation of ammo was a feature of the first game in the series, in this sequel you’ll have a supply that is pretty much limitless.
- Seeing as this game is a lot more action-orientated and combat heavy than its predecessor, the abundance of ammo makes sense.
- Sees a return to pre-rendered backgrounds, after the previous game had fully 3D environments.

26
- Find every main collectable in the game and you’ll then get the opportunity to double your haul, as more of the same collectable appear (although different coloured), hidden in the levels you’d previously played.
- If you find all of these additional collectables, then you’ll be able to play one more additional level.

24
- Avoid picking up items early on, and you may come across an additional enemy that will reward you upon defeat.
- This additional enemy is linked to the previous game in the series.

23
- In reference to game 24’s first clue - in this game you’ll find out how this enemy came to be.
- The main playable character in this game has a link to the additional enemy referenced in game 24.

22
- As you play through this game, it helps to pay attention to what you’ve seen, what you’ve heard, and what you’ve been told, as that knowledge will come in handy later.
- One of the playable characters in this game first appeared in an earlier game (of a different genre) from the same developer.

21
- “I don’t want to die, I’m a God, why can’t I live on?”

21: Powerslave? Or Powerslave Exhumed if it's the more recent updated port. Wasn't expecting to see an Iron Maiden reference.
