All that's left from mine:

30 - The best game on a new console. Also, don't look up rule 34 of the female lead, you'll find a lot of admittedly sexy art.
 - The game was released this year and is the newest entry on my list. 

19 - I go after The sponge before the Gator so I can get a more powerful gun early.
 - The optional super weapon is from a fighting game. This game is not a fighting game. 

17 - Trust me, you don't wanna get the chip sets, because you can only have one at a time, but if you wait until the final levels you can have all four.
 - Why in the world didn't the cutting weapon cut the ropes? Why did you have to use some weird electric punch?! Makes no sense. 

10 - This game also features almost all the content and DLC from its previous three iterations, making it a definitive edition of sorts.
 - I think it holds the record for most consecutive weeks of DLC. 2,553 pieces of DLC between now and November 2007.

05 - This game is the reason I got into the Dark Souls franchise, despite not liking it all that much the first time I played it, and it not being a Souls game.
 - Starring: Tampons!

4. This game is an RPG with a life/death cycle. The monster you train will eventually die and be reborn again.

3. This game features not only one of the best soundtracks in the series, but of all games. The main character struggles with himself for most of the game, but he has to be a leader.

Kena Bridge of Spirits?

Though I'm not sure how I feel about the potential of the rule34 thing being true.

Well I'm glad I got one at least xD

Gz Liquid_Laser!

Yep, you got #25; Uncharted 2. Right in the middle. I'd say if you have to guess only one, it should be the one dead centre.



14. This game features an outfit for the main character that the main character from a previous game wore.
Hint#2 it is a turn-based rpg where party members can perform special attacks together.
Hint#3 It has two main Antagonists

9. This PS1 JRPG was overshadowed when it first released. It has gained a cult following in recent years.
8. This game features a sport that is played underwater.
7. This RPG takes place in a world covered in mist.
6. This game's gameplay is focused around gravity.

23 - The main villain turns out to be...An Alien! don't worry, you're not in Kansas anymore.

 - Item 1 gets you high. Item 2 makes you go fast. Item 3 looks pretty sweet.

20 - While it's not all a dream, it wasn't real...or is it? A performance, but maybe more.

 - If you beat the game, you can start over on New Game Plus with unlimited power items. It might be the first example of NG+

19 - I go after The sponge before the Gator so I can get a more powerful gun early.

 - The optional super weapon is from a fighting game. This game is not a fighting game. 

17 - Trust me, you don't wanna get the chip sets, because you can only have one at a time, but if you wait until the final levels you can have all four.

 - Why in the world didn't the cutting weapon cut the ropes? Why did you have to use some weird electric punch?! Makes no sense. 

14 - Was originally the 4th in the series but got a subtitle instead. also, the open-world map allowed for more versatility in its levels.

 - Poor dinosaurs must be sacrificed to make better jumps. 

10 - This game also features almost all the content and DLC from its previous three iterations, making it a definitive edition of sorts.

 - I think it holds the record for most consecutive weeks of DLC. 2,553 pieces of DLC between now and November 2007.

09 - You can't play this game on your fridge's LCD but if you could I'd absolutely buy it. 10 years later and I'm still not sick of this game.

 - the joke is that this game has been rereleased on pretty much every console ever and just got its 10-year anniversary. 

08 - The polar opposite of the last game in the franchise, which was linear and heavily story-based. this one is open and exploration-based.

 - If you do a bad job cooking, it gets censored like Japanese porn. 

05 - This game is the reason I got into the Dark Souls franchise, despite not liking it all that much the first time I played it, and it not being a Souls game.

 - Starring: Tampons! 

04 - I've always loved this game, but Sequelitis made me realize just how amazing this game actually is from a design perspective.

 - If you kill the Penguin first, the mammoth's level gets frozen over.

30. Is Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart

And because we need more great Atlus-RPGs, here is another one: Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. This game was announced pretty early in this big Nintendo Direct, with which they wanted to save the WiiU. But it was at that point very early in development, and it took ages until it released. The general idea was a crossover between Shin Megami Tensei (if you didn't noticed: Tokyo Mirage Sessions is reverting the shortcut SMT) and Fire Emblem. The result is an awesome RPG.

Basically you are this Tokyo highschooler, who is starting his career as an idol. You meet with other idols and learn about singing and dancing for fans. But this all is a facade: all these idols are fighting evil mirages, that suck the creative energy called Performa out of people. These mirages come from another world. But you also find otherworldly help. Chrom, Tiki and other Fire Emblem characters are joining your team and helping you out. With their help you explore dungeon set up by evil mirages on Tokyo landmarks and fight mighty foes.

The fighting system is one of the most interesting systems I ever saw in an RPG. Presentation wise it is set up as a show for otherworldly ghosts, you fight for their entertainment in an arena. You can attack in many ways, but if you hit elemental weaknesses of your enemies, a connected character can follow up and this way chaining attacks into a session.This adds a layer of tactics into the game.

The areas in which you find battles are these strange labyrinths, set up by the mirages. They are built with elements from present day japanese culture. These are mazes with puzzles, shortcuts and other stuff. Just like you expect from Atlus level design.

Between these labyrinths you wander through contemporary Japan while progressing with the story. This involves a lot of everyday stuff, including the usage of the WiiU gamepad as smartphone with a messenger which show messages from other characters in the game.

You also bond with Fire Emblem characters, who are lending their powers to you and enabling you to fight the mirages. As you strengthen your bond, your powers and abilities grow.

This game got a port to the Switch, so more people can enjoy this grreat RPG.
