Almost done catching up, sorry for the big spam there.

Instead of posting another hint for #7, I'll just post the hint for the next game and say that both of the games here are from the same franchise.


Hmm, #5 brings a couple of games to mind... But not from the same franchise. If I have to choose one I'll go with Skyward Sword.

And just in case I got the franchise right, might as well guess Breath of the Wild for #7.

Alrighty then, hope you all had a good Christmas, I'm back and brought the last few hints with me:

5) A stealthy character that you don't play as in any of the three main campaigns offers major guidance in all three

4) The protagonist of this game hates #3

3) You accidentally revive your old enemy while trying to escape

2) Contains countless references to other media, particularly Lord of the Rings and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

1) "Don't overdo it"

#3 - Portal 2? Although I'm not sure about the clue for #4 then. Half-Life 2?

Portal 2 is correct!

Wrong on 4 though, it's not a Valve game. I suppose "would hate" would have been more accurate.

Top 10!

#10 - This game’s subtitle suggests some backward time travel but really you only move laterally; the sequel’s subtitle captured the essence of this game more accurately.

#9 - This game would be my GOTY in 2014 and would also be my pick in 2017, if it weren’t for my #1 game on this list.

#8 - Speaking of GOTY, this title could win in any year between 2010 and 2012, depending on the players region.

#7 - This game and its predecessor began on PC; the former was ported to the OG Xbox and the latter was ported to PS2.

#6 - The hero’s loyal companion is technically in this game, but you’ll need to get to 100% completion to visit with him.

drbunnig beat me on 10 and 6, but I'll take on these;

9: Shovel Knight?

8: Xenoblade Chronicles.

#8 is right! #9 is a game that launched in 2014 and arrived again in 2017 in an upgraded form.
