I was a bit lazy the last few days with hints, so now multiple games at once:

#26: "Хорошо! Я буду работать на тeбя, проклятый капиталист!"

#25: You're eaten by a Grue! Return to this place in graphics this time.

#24: The ship you're imprisoned on get's attacked by Githyanki.

#23: Pay a donkey carrots to get more corpses.

#22: Draw the map of the dungeon you find in a high school yourself.

26.  I have no idea what that is saying, so I'm going to guess Red Alert.

25.  Return to Zork

24.  Definitely a D&D game.  Planescape: Torment?

22.  Persona Q?

#34 This was the third game in this platformer  series. Which wouldn't see a new entry until 2013.

#33 In this game the main character is killed off at the beginning.

#32 This game has a special mechanic that let's you turn back time.

#31 This game is the start of a new trilogy after the originals on PS2.

#30 This PS1 platformer was the first in it's series. It had a stronger focus on platforming than it's sequels.

34.  Super Mario Bros 3?

33.  I'd love to say Final Fantasy 1, but I think it's more likely that you mean The Last of Us 2?

32.  Braid?

31.  GTA 4?

30.  Klonoa?

Yes! Finally a game that I can take with me to the next day and write a second hint for. The two guesses so far, Call of Duty: World at War and Medal of Honour (I assume Allied Assault?) were both wrong, but close. The former mores than the latter, or was it? Anyway, forget the whole sentence, you haven't read this, time for the actual hint, and one for a new game;

#24: This game features an awesome campaign following three characters from three different viewpoints, and with the expansion ends with an iconic image of carrying a flag onto a rooftop.

Hint 2: There's other levels that are reminiscent of real-life locations or events. One level, taking place in a village in France, looks pretty much exactly the same as it did on an episode about the same events of an otherwise unrelated HBO miniseries. This level is coincidentally also one of the most popular multiplayer maps. Guessed by coolbeans - Call of Duty

#23: Even though you can do each of the levels in any order, it's usually a good idea to one in particular first, because the weapon upgrade you get from that boss is good against pretty much anything.

23.  It's a mega man game.  I'll guess Mega Man 2.

Is 24 Baldur's Gate 3?  I don't remember much from a lot of these D&D games, but I still haven't even played BG3.

Yes, that is the one!

I guess I should translate the stuff you can't read (#26): "Fine, I'll be working for you, you bloody capitalist!"

I don't know, unless it is one of the other Command and Conquer games.

I just wanted to say, about D&D games, I think you guessed one of the Gold Box games on one of my earlier clues.  I really meant to put Curse of the Azure Bonds on my list this year.  It was probably the most fun "new to me" game that I've played in 2021.  But I did my list in a rush and then I forgot to put it on.  Hopefully, I remember to include it next year.

#33: As I doubt people have Blood on their list, I guess you talk about Demon's Souls.

#32: Majora's Mask?

No to both

I think I've guessed your 26 at least two years in a row, so might as well go for a third time. Jagged Alliance.



More hints.

#34 This was the third game in this platformer series. Which wouldn't see a new entry until 2013.

At the end of this game the protagonist is separated from his friends.

#33 In this game the main character is killed off at the beginning

The main character is out for revenge.

#32 This game has a special mechanic that let's you turn back time.

There is a good amount of jumping and climbing.

#31 This game is the start of a new trilogy after the originals on PS2.

It is from the same developer as #30

#30 This PS1 platformer was the first in it's series. It had a stronger focus on platforming than it's sequels.

The setting is very fantastical and strange. The locations range from medieval fantasy to more modern and industrial
