22) This game had a lot of controversy at launch and has changed much since. I liked it almost since day 1 though.

Hint 2: The reason I say almost is that the game was pretty much unplayable on day 1 for most people.

21) Hardware based plot twist.

Hint 2: For the DS.

20) Few games have been as dominating in their genre as this.

Hint 2: No need to overthink this, it's a genre were one game has consistently been the most popular since its release.

19) This isn't the first or last appearance in this franchise of a certain happy character, but it is the only time he has a role in the main story.

Hint 2: Despite his name he never really sells anything.

#22: No Mans Sky

#21: I remember an adventure where you closed the DS to press both screens together and imprint something from one screen to the other. I think it was Another Code, or Trace Memory in the US.

#20 World of Warcraft

Revelation really showed what the 3DS is capable of. Graphically and in the gameplay area. This game bound me to the 3DS for many many hours. For me it best combines old strengths of the Resident Evil franchise with modernized controls and capabilities. Revelations can build a scary athmosphere as the early games could which some of the newer titles drown in masses of enemies. But at the same time the modernized controls give much more options and feel a lot better.

The game is presented in a chapter structure, which the developers felt was better fitted to a handheld. The many rereleases of the game on home consoles show that this structure is not in the least limited to handhelds. The setting on the luxurious cruisers which are empty and corrupted create that creepy atmosphere the first game had with the villa. Even as you see no enemy, but hear strange sounds, have the motions and sounds of the ship, see unsettling spots of biological contamination… this all builds to the feeling, so that the emergence of actual enemies can often feel freeing, as we finally face the threat we felt all the time.

And I am normally not too much into multiplayer, but that Raid-mode was excellent. This game was so great, that Capcom made a HD-conversion and rereleased it everywhere. The sequel Revelations 2 missed the 3DS sadly, but that was made up when both games came to the Switch.

#21 DS had a lot of innovative games in that regard. Let's try Hotel Dusk:Room 215 then.

#22 Let's see if I find another example of a game patched to be better. Are you a fan of Fallout 76?

These could have been my words. Great game, greatest 3DS game, if a certain remake isn’t counted, if you asked me. I don’t have it on my list this year (I had most other years), but maybe it should have been.

Nope to both of them. And for 22 it's several years earlier.

I tis always hard to restrict yourself to only 50 games. That is why I decided to have each year different honorable mentions, because a lot of games I think are still worth it just don't make the cut.

And hint #4 for this game:

#16

-The main character is a female "Bracer" named Estelle, picks up directly after the first game

-The English language script for this JRPG is longer than the entire Lord of the Rings-trilogy

-Set in the kingdom of Liberl, though events in the neighboring kingdom of Erebonia also have an impact on the events of the game

-Three games from this series have already appeared on my list earlier, overall the second most represented franchise in my top 50

Trails of Cold Steel IV?

Edit: On second thought maybe it's Trails in the Sky II

The second thought was the correct one.

#19: The developers clearly had fun making this, because they pasted their own faces on the enemies.
