Mmm, I don't think it's as easy as just guessing Bayonetta 2, so I'll go in another direction and guess Hyrule Warriors.

Nice, that was fast.

You are right, in screenshots, Kamek was there instead of Donkey Kong.

Ok, so I can't swim as a sea creature but salmons can?

splatoon 2

7: Portal 2
6: Bayonetta 2 (even though S.Peelman really should have gotten this)

It's Super Smash Bros for Wii U, isn't it?

Correct.

14 Hint 1: Turn based strategy game. There are many things you can do during the day like Pillage, Observe, Train, Buy items, Talk, Wait, Travel, Work.
Hint 2: During battle you can actually set the land on fire to really annoy the enemy
Hint 3: A good strategy to actually win a battle in the lategame when everyone has massive armies is to pillage all of their supplies and then immediately engage into a battle with them. When they have 0 supplies, their troops will die every turn in battle. Pillaging however relies on your officer's war ability, but any officer can repeatably get better at it and buy items.
Hint 4: Can play as pretty much anyone in the novel that this game is based on. Each character has a War, Charisma, Politic, and Intelligence stat that determines how well each character does things like battle or work.
Final Hint: Is the 8th game in a video game series that has existed since 1985.


10: Hint 1: Small state versus Empire.

#7 Katamari Damacy

Why did it make the list?
Katamari Damacy only attempts to do a few things, but on each of those few things it completely knocks it out of the park.  The controls are simple and perfect.  I cannot overstate how great these controls are.  It feels like someone made a first-rate arcade game on the PS2.  The music is the best soundtrack I have ever heard in any video game.  And then there is the gameplay. 

The gameplay is genius.  I have no idea how anyone could possibly think up a game like this.  You just roll up objects that stick to your ball and you get bigger in the process.  The bigger you get, the bigger things you can roll up.  It’s crazy and yet so addictive.  Whenever I play this game I just zone out.  It’s like being in an awesome dream that you never want to wake up from.

The deceptive thing about this game is that it is not graphically impressive in the slightest, even by PS2 standards, and it uses the same few areas over and over again.  It also is incredibly short which is probably the biggest mark I have against it.  If I could have a game of this quality but also have it longer with more variety in the areas then it would be even higher on my list (and being #7 is a huge deal since all of my top 50 games are in the top 1%).  There are sequels to Katamari Damacy, and the first sequel is still pretty good, but it doesn’t quite reach the pure bliss of the original game.  (The other sequels are nowhere near as good as the first two games.)

Original experience:
When I first heard about this game I wanted to try it out.  I went to several local video game stores and they were all sold out, because they only had ordered a couple of copies each.  My wife called around and ended up driving out of the state to get me a copy.  (My wife is awesome!)

Once I started playing this game it blew me away!  I had no idea that my favorite PS2 game would be an unknown budget title released near the end of the console’s life.  I tore threw the game and then played the stages over and over trying to “max” my scores.  My wife also played it a bunch.  Then we showed it to friends and they loved it and wanted their own copy too.

How does it hold up today?
This game never gets old.  Graphics were never the selling point of this game, and that is why Katamari Damacy is timeless.  I really wish this game’s director, Keita Takahashi, would make another Katamari game.  Until that happens I will keep playing the original over and over on the PS2.

The giant tree,
The source of pure water and land
A town formed around this rich land
Despite being surrounded by monsters
Best to leave an unknown traveller to take care of this uninhabited Tree
