OK, my game #2 is coming up next, so you need to solve it now.

#2

a) It's all an illusion.

b) Similar to my #1, this game is in a series of spin-off games of a much older gaming series. It is the second installment in this spin-off series.

c) This time you have a buddy. And he gives you high fives for a task well done.

d) The game contains a few dragons.

e) You also can solve quests.

Dark Souls (PlayStation 3)

Change From Last Year: =

There are very few games that have ever had quite as strong an impact on me as Dark Souls did when its greatness finally clicked in my head. The game has a sense of hopeless determination running through it in ways that I had never before seen anywhere else, but it takes a while before you even really begin to notice it. When the game starts it's just a difficult fantasy RPG, but the further into the game you get and discover the history of Lordran, meeting the people still somehow clinging to existence among its desolate ruins and encountering the remnants of a kingdom long gone, the more you begin to realize that there's something truly special about this game.

To me, Dark Souls is the best game of the 2010s, and the series as a whole is now second only to Final Fantasy in my rankings of the greatest video game franchises ever. These are definitely games that won't appeal to everyone, but once you get them, there's just no turning back anymore. The world, lore, gameplay, music, visual design, and everything else is just impeccable, with care and thought placed into each element that most other games will never see. The only real blemish is one late-game location and boss with which FromSoftware simply ran out of time, and had to just put something halfway decent together. Besides that, however, I love everything about this game.

3- The best love story in gaming.

Start off as a mercenary then save your friends.

Fight with a sword or a gun? Why not both?

1- 100+ hours of grinding experience! Finally I can start grinding for items now!

Or you can start another race and class to level up again.

Despite some strong contenders, this game has still defined the MMORPG genre 15+ years later.

World of Warcraft? Which I already wanted to post after the second hint but forgot.

Correct!

This game is of the quality that the new trilogy should be. 'Knights of the Old Republic' is more "Star Wars" than actual Star Wars movies, besides the original. The writing is exceptional in this game, the dialogue feels like it should've gotten the Literature Nobel Prize. Obviously, there's the game's main twist, which is on par with the movies' "I am your Father" bombshell. And I never saw it coming. On replays, you'll notice all the hints in dialogue and cutscenes that foreshadow the upcoming twist, but on a first play through it flies right by you as you are in awe about all that's happening. In the movies and series there's a couple moments that to me verify 'Knight of the Old Republic' as canon. In 'Rogue One' there's a starship from this game prominently featured, and in the latest episode of 'The Mandalorian' they talk about how in an ancient time an army of Jedi defeated Mandalore. I'd say this obviously refers to the Mandalorian Wars that ended shortly before the events of this game. And this being canon, that makes me happy.

And then... the final game. For the Golden Trophy;

#1: From my favourite series, I still haven't mentioned one absolutely groundbreaking game in either my list or among my honourable mentions.
