It wasn't until this game's spiritual sequel that people really took notice of this tough-as-nails action-RPG; it didn't help that the company which hosted it thought very little of it.

While other games in the series might be better mechanically, this installment has a distinct advantage (or will have, for another 10 days).

36.  Demon's Souls

35.  Super Smash Bros.  Wii U

#36  - yes!

#35 - so close! The advantage I meant is a meaningful single-player campaign.

Rome: Total War

Well, I should try one Total War game one of these days. Turn-based strategy should be right up my alley.

I've enlisted some help from friends and think I finally have a solid footing on what my top 50 games will be. I've moved around like half my list.

Also, Mnementh, #32 is Child of Light?

Correct, this is the one. Beautiful game.

#34: There aren't many games in this long running series where the iconic protagonist has family members, but in this game he has one. Sadly it doesn't look like it ends well for him at first though.

Hmm, Zelda Windwaker?

Smash Bros Brawl (the one with a single player campaign).

These games have not been guessed yet.
#32: Featuring four generations of one of the most dysfunctional families in fighting game history.

#31: The leader of one of the factions in this RTS game is possibly an actual biblical character.

#30: Monkey and Trip.

#30 must be Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. A very underrated Uncharted-like game!

Here are some more clues from me.

34.  Even though this is a single player game, some fans complained that the whole series was going to play like an MMO when this game first released.
33.  Even though it wasn't ready until a few years after the Wii U's launch, I think this would have been the ideal launch game for the Wii U.  It uses popular IP and you really do need the Wii U gamepad to make full use of this game.
32.  This the first game to use voice acting in a series that was already a long running and popular series at the time this game launched.  (The series is even significantly older now.)



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

#34 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
guessed by Barkley
platform Switch
release year 2017
developer/publisher Ubisoft
genre turn based strategy
links Wikipedia

Well, as first rumours about a Rabbids and Mario mashup surfaced, this was mostly met with doubts about the possible quality of such a game. The Rabbids games (although some are funny and good like the first Rayman Raving Rabbids and the game Rabbids Go Home) were of differing quality. Mixing it up with Mario, a franchise seemingly totally different, was not something to look forward to.

And then on E3 Ubisoft revealed the game and in the course of half an hour my perception about this game changed from "meh" to "I have to get that". And it became a good game. The quirky humour of the Rabbids, but a surprisingly good implemented gameplay of a turn-based strategy game in the likes of XCOM. This was fun. It turned out to be a must-have in the Switch-library.
