#29: Luigi's Mansion 3

This game is great. At first I didn't really like it that much because the ghosts were always the same with a general lack of variety and also generally less ghosts in total numbers. But with time the game grew on me. The focus is more on the puzzles with Gooigi. Basically everything being destructable is a ton of fun with some to me impressive physics stuff going on.

The different themes on all of the floors are highly creative with some really cool ideas especially later in the game.

There are alot of collectables to find everywhere and boos to catch. The boss ghosts are full of character and the battles themselves are fantastic.

The soundtrack is awesome too though not quite as memorable as in the first two games.

King Boo has never looked so damn cool and scary.

Also this is one the best looking games on the Switch.

Really truly great game. My favorite Luigi's Mansion game.

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.

No, not Command and Conquer. Ask Darashiva about it.

And these early D&D games are often worth it. After all D&D was the first Role Playing Game and defined it. And video game implementation followed very fast, so what we see today as an RPG is a whole lot defined by the mold D&D left.

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

#26: "Хорошо! Я буду работать на Ñ‚eбя, проклятый капиталист!"

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

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

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

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

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.

Actually it is the fourth time in a row you guessed it, Jagged Alliance is correct.

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 

#33 now sounds even more like Blood...

#32 must be Braid

In a way you can call the Deus Ex series "Transhumanism: The Game". I am not aware of any other game series, that has transhumanism so much as a core theme. And this theme is integrated with the gameplay, as your abilities are brought on by technical enhancements of your body. On the story side, the game explores the societal impact of the availability of technology that enables transhumanism. This all makes an very exciting package.

I played Human Revolution as the Director's Cut on WiiU, but it is available on many platforms. The gameplay is an mix of action adventure, shooter and stealth, with RPG-elements to advance your character. That works splendid.

One element of the game that makes it so great is the big amount of possible solutions to one problem. Problem: you want to enter the police headquarters. What are your options? Well, you can sweet talk the guy at the entrance to let you in. You can crawl through the ventilation shafts like the Alien. Or you can go into the police station with guns blazing, like the Terminator. Or you hack your way in, like a Shadowrunner. All options are valid and possible. This gives you as the player a lot of influence.

Your actions have consequences. That is made clear in the beginning, as the hostages die if you take too long. Or that oyur pilot dies, if you don't invest a lot effort to help her escape. This is all not influencing the story too much, but it feels impactful. Great work Eidos!

And it's not too long until 2027, the year the game is set.

Haha good guess. Will try to help clarify that the “beautiful accurate” thing is sorta sarcastic
