And another one guessed correctly, which leaves us only with #14. Didn't thought that one would be the most difficult to guess.

#15 - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - Nintendo Gamecube

The Gamecube is awesome, the system that pretty much shaped my love for videogames, and one of those games was Path of Radiance, still what I hold as something as perfect as it can get from the series.

A great story filled with proper good characters, that are both instantly likable for the most part, and have proper depth if taken the time to do support conversations. The level design is consistently fantastic, the first 7 chapters are a really great, gradual tutorial, chapter 8 puts that knowledge to the test, and then everything else is a really good challenge, with the only point of contention for me being the final boss, is another of those, only a select number of characters can realistically damage it without getting killed, and that sucks the fun out of it, not as bad as Blazing Sword, but still. My favorite part is definitely the gauntlet of chapters in the Serenes Forest, that pretty much cemented my love for the game. The music starts out kinda bland, but it gets better over the course of the adventure, the showdown against the Black Knight, ending the final mission and getting to listen to Bittersweet Victory, and the incredible credits theme Life Returns, what a way to end the adventure.

As a whole this remains the peak of the series for me on most fronts, Fates Conquest is the closest I ever got to something being equally as good if not better at times than PoR in the level design, but that game has a pretty uh, questionable story, so it loses some points there.

#14 - Mischief Makers - Nintendo 64

Shake shake, shake shake. Mischief Makers is peak Treasure, this game is kind of a mash-up of everything they like to do, and is done really well. Still remains one of the most unique games I have played, nothing quite reaches the level of versatility and flow of the shake as a mechanic, not even games like Wario Land on the Wii or Klonoa nail the feel of how Mischief Makers lets you interact with objects and characters with the shake shake, the soundtrack is also pretty unique, the soundfont and instrumentation is interesting, a certified classic by Norio Hanzawa, a lot of the boss fights are really fucking good too, Migen, Cerberus Alpha, Phoenix Gamma, the Emperor and the Beastector being highlights of bosses in videogames as a whole. The game is also really bizarre, which is a trademark of the studio, and has a pretty good level variety, some minigames, some pure action romps, challenging platforming, some exploration, labyrinth like stages, has a little bit of everything.

And there we have another one of these excellent LucasArts adventures. This is a point-and-click adventure, but you play three different characters, Bernard, Laverne and Hoagie, which are transported to different times and have to work together to stop purple tentacle from taking over the world. This is sort of a sequel to Maniac Mansion, it reuses some of it's whacky characters and locations. As with many LucasArts adventures, the fun even baked into the puzzles.

The story is set in motion, after purple tentacle drinks from the river which is filled with toxic waste from Dr. Fred Edisons laboratory and grows arms. With this he decides to take over the world. Green tentacle asks his old friend Bernard for help. Bernard takes his two roommates and goes to Dr. Edison. His roommates and the other playable characters are: medical student Laverne - who has apparently arrangements with her psychiatrist - and hardrocker Hoagie. Dr. Edison has a plan to send the three of them back a day with his time-traveling toilet named chron-o-john and let them turn off the machine producing the toxic waste. But this fails and so Laverne lands 200 years in the future ruled by purple tentacle, Hoagie 200 years in the past and Bernard stays in the present. From where you have an insane ride, with puzzles that have changing things in the past to change the future and sending stuff through time.

The characters are so great. Between purple tentacle, Dr. Edison and the three protagonist you have so much strange and quirky behaviour, this is hilarious. They interact with the gameworld in often unexpected but hilarious ways and comment on the actions. This is an all-time classic in the point-and-click adventure genre.

The game got a remaster a few years back with updated graphics.

I actually think this game already has enough hints, so I just repeat them so that you can look at it again:

#14: Sorry to keep you waiting. With all us gods,... errrr, and Pyrrhon, united. The Cherubot is pure mechanical brawn wrapped in an adorable package. So decimate anything that gets in your way.

Alright getting close to the top 10, but there are a few left that still haven't been guessed.

14) One thing that annoys me about this game is that it's named like a reboot even though it isn't

Hint 2: In other words, it's named the same as the first game in the series

13) The one game in this series that has a lot of cutscenes

Hint 2: It's a series that's usually mostly about multiplayer

12) Ended on a heartfelt note

Hint 2: I'm not referring to the ending of the game's story

It seems the hints were suitably difficult as none of these were guessed yet. Here's a new hint for each.

#10:

• The game's English voice lines had to be the same length as or shorter than the Japanese ones, as longer ones would cause the game to crash.
• For just a brief respite a pilgrimage must be undertaken, ending in a sacrifice.

#9:

• The painter girl awaits at the end.
• You can show her flame, and perhaps bring her the dyes with which to finish her work.

#8:

• Greater understanding of the world allows for the truth to be revealed.
• Dream, or a nightmare. Maybe both.

#7:

• The English script for this game is longer than the entire Lord of the Rings-trilogy (455,125 words) by over 260,000 words.
• Picks up immediately after the first game, after a surprise reveal at the end of the first game leading one of the two main characters to leave and disappear.

#6:

• To revive, you must kill.
• An abandoned, forbidden land.

#14: God of War

Well, what can I say about this game. It made the singlehandedly the Switch a success. It won a shitload of game of the year awards. It is among the highest rated on Metacritic. This game is successful, influental and just great.

Breath of the Wild is among the greatest games of all time, without feeling too much like a Zelda game. The game feels so free, so open, I can go everywhere, do everything, discover so much stuff. The physics engine even further allows for experimentation. This is just awesome. And the world to explore is interesting. The region matches the description of what happened. The ruins, the emptyness, the nature getting back at civilization, this matches the destruction 100 years ago. Many things show this in detail, like the massive field of destroyed guradians before the walls of Hateno village. For each village still existing is an explanation how it survived. Hidden in the mountains. Big wall. Only reachable by air. This all fits. At the same time civilization slowly gets back in form of the stables. This gives the game an overall feel of a coherent world.

And everything is so beautiful. The nature, the ruins, all so serene. Until you meet a monster, that is. You can roam the landscape and explore the land. It is dangerous, but beautiful at the same time. I run around and was just blown away by some of the views of nature around me.

The game gives you so much stuff to do, to explore, to fight, to collect, that you can completely forget the main objective. Ganon? Zelda? Who cares, I have to cook the perfect meal under a red moon.
