Next set of hints so I can keep ahead of the schedule. Let's see if I can make these a bit more challenging than usual:

#10

-Never forget the dreams that have faded.

#9

-The lords have abandoned their thrones.

#8

-Will you escape the nightmare?

#7

-The male lead is a former Enforcer of an organization called Ouroboros, he just doesn't know it until the end of the game.

#6

-As the giants fall, so does your humanity deteriorate.

Closing in on the top:

13) This game involves significantly more paddling than previous entries in the series.

10) The MC has taken up a bunch of new sports in this game.

9) One of this game's most emotional moments takes place in a museum in Wyoming.

8) Your most terrifying enemies are chariots

7) This game has a surprisingly low-key ending

6) This game really drills its core themes into you

#8 Bayonetta

7) God of War 2018

That's a good guess, but unfortunately not it.

8.  Civilization 2?
7.  Rock Band?
6.  Drill Dozer?

More hints.  This is the last chance to guess 13 and 10.  If you can't get them with these hints, then it's never going to happen.

13. a) At one part of this tactical RPG, you shrink down and have to fight chess pieces.
b) This is the second entry of this series that started on the Genesis.
c) This SEGA franchise actually includes many entries as you can tell by the first name of each game.  However, this specific series of tactical RPGs started on the Genesis, but hasn't had a new entry in at least 13 years.
d) The first entry of this franchise was Shining in the Darkness, but I am looking for the second game in a tactical RPG series.

10. a)  The final villain in this 4-player arcade game is a lich.
b) This Capcom arcade game from the 90's actually isn't a fighting game.  It's a 4 player beatem up and the first game in a 2 game series.
c)  This D&D themed game was later bundled with its sequel and sold digitally on PS3, XBox360 and Wii U.

9. a) This GBA title is the first time we got a game from this series in North America, because earlier entries never left Japan.  Not Fire Emblem.
b)  Build a variety of modern miliary units to defeat the other side.

8. This well known game is a spinoff.  The original title was a PS3 exclusive until recently.  This title has appeared on several platforms.
