I only ever had Nintendo consoles, so I never got the chance to play Morrowind and Oblivion.

Kingdom Hearts 2

YoY: -6

To be perfectly honest, Kingdom Hearts is quite a silly series of games. Half of the time the story is almost incomprehensible, the combination of Disney characters with Final Fantasy really shouldn't work, and the lore behind the setting is baffling to the point of lunacy, and yet that's kind of why I like the series. It's stupid, childish, and weird, but at the same time the series is also sincere and heartfelt, in a way that very few video games are, especially within the AAA side of the industry.

The best game in the series, of the ones that I've played, is Kingdom Hearts 2. It improved significantly on the gameplay from the first game, making the battle much more fast-paced and exciting, and the story hadn't quite yet devolved into the utter insanity it would eventually turn to, so there was a nice balance still remaining here. The music by Yoko Shimomura is also excellent, as her work usually is, and despite the silliness of the whole premise the characters still stay with you because they feel genuine in how they're written. These games are never not going to be weird and silly, but that's a large part of their charm.

29) Now I'm sure it's Undertale. I actually tried to guess this yesterday, but then the site stopped working on my PC :-/

Update. Not gonna throw another hint at 33 for now, because I think there can't be that many series celebrating their 25th anniversary currently. The series isn't Pokémon for those that missed that.

33) You spent much of this game in a preposterously tall tower.

Hint 2: You play as the vessel.

Hint 3: Part of a series that has done a pretty poor job celebrating it's 25th anniversary... so far.

32) The protagonist for this game looks decidedly different from the other protagonist of the series.

Hint 2: Mainly because the other protagonists look so similar.

Hint 3: Though in one of the other games the protagonist does look a lot older.

29) Death by fish.

28) I both love and hate this second entry in a series where each game is essentially a series of escape rooms.

27) The person think you are, is actually a member of the main villain group of this game.

#29: Hint: The villain of this game wants revenge. Once again he escaped his imprisonment and seeks to defeat his arch nemesis. But this time with an even more elaborate trap.

Everything I thought could be it for 33 has been shot down by all the subsequent hints.

But;

29: Ecco the Dolphin

28: Zero Escape Virtues Last Reward

27: Knights of the Old Republic?

Virtue's Last Reward is right! Took a lot longer last year, but I suppose my hint was very direct this time.

The other two unfortunately are wrong.

31.  The Last of Us 2?
29.  Valkyria Chronicles?
28.  Civilization?

29.  Correct!

32.  Metal Gear Solid 2

29.  Super Mario Bros.

28.  The Adventures of Lolo 2

27.  Is this one of the many Kingdom Hearts games?

29. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

32) Mission Accomplished, Liquid Snake Laser

29) Nope

28) Nope, but already guessed by S. Peelman

27) Nah it isn't, it does seem like something that might happen in Kingdom Hearts though :D
