And another hint.

  • The origin of the dragon and the mad dog.
  • One of the many things you get to do is real-estate management.
  • Another thing you can spend a lot of time with is running a hostess club.

Wild guess: Yakuza Zero?

Ōkami

YoY: -5

Games that take inspiration from The Legend of Zelda aren't exactly rare these days, but in order to stand out from not only all the other imitators, but also Zelda itself, the game has to have something unique to offer. and Okami manages that brilliantly. The two main elements that set Okami apart from the rest of its kind were the watercolour visuals and the quite frankly brilliant central gameplay element of the celestial brush where the played can draw directly upon the game world to affect it in various different ways.

The game is by no means flawless, with some characters not quite holding up to scrutiny these days and the game feeling unnecessarily stretched in few parts, but the experience is still overall genuinely wonderful. Okami is not a game I will go and play with any frequency, I've only played through it twice since its initial western release in 2007, but it's a game I do still remember fondly regardless.

Okami

The drop since last year? A couple of new games higher on the list and some additional shuffling and moving other games up and down. Okami just kind of settled there this year.

That's right.



Not adding any new games just yet, but adding more hints:

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.

31) This game is extremely beloved despite being rushed. Personally I think it shows, but it's still tons of fun.

Hint 2: Particularly well liked by the more competitive players.

30) First game in the series to have DLC, some of it had people ecstatic and some of it less so.

Hint 2: Ecstatic = The hype meter went nuts.
