Correct - Palace Midas from the first Tomb Raider. If Lara stands on Midas' hand, she will be turned into gold. The second clue is in reference to the Uzis in Sanctuary of the Scion.

#7 - While you find a statue of the game's namesake at the heart of its world, one could argue the playable character could share the same name.
Hint 2 - Its sequel was slated to come out this year, but we still have no news about it...

#6 - The protagonist's hair gets darker and his skin more damaged with each of the beasts you slay.

#5 - Please don't take off my mask, my disguise

I'll put them all out there now

09
- In this game, you’ll visit France, Mexico, and various different locations in the US.
- The bonus levels see you dropped in on a platform in the middle of the ocean, as well as having the opportunity to roam around Heaven itself.
- These locations were appealing enough for ol’ Spidey to get in on the action (assuming you unlock him).

08 (incorrect guesses - Super Mario RPG)
- 11 96
- 11 is for the minimalists and speedrunners; 96 is for the completionists.
- This game introduced a beloved character to the series. The character's main function was conceived as an idea for previous games, but the hardware at the time was not powerful enough for it to come to fruition.

05
- To 100% the game, you’ll have to interact with every living creature. You’ll have to interact with them in just the right way though, otherwise your collaborator will have difficulty doing his part.

04 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- This game broke from tradition at the time by having your maximum health increase after you’d found five of a certain collectible, rather than four.

03
- As far as I'm aware, this is the first time in this series that you can get a power up that mimics that of an enemy.

02
- You may come across numerous dragons throughout the game, but you’ll only get to fight one in the penultimate level.

01 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (incorrect guesses - Resident Evil 4, Ico, The Last of Us)
- I suppose you could view this game as one long escort mission.

6: Shadow of the Colossus?

Twilight Princess and maybe RE4? If not then Ico.

No guesses for any of these, so here's another hint for each.

#5

-A small neutral nation rich in natural resources must defend itself from an invasion by an imperial alliance

-After repelling an attack on their home town, three characters join the militia to defend their homeland

#4

-Will you end the age, or perpetuate the cycle for a little longer?

-The world was once a stagnant, still place covered in fog. Then, came fire.

#3

-32 years have passed since contact with Earth was lost

-Those that were stranded in space as a result came to be known as 'the lost generation'

#2

-Count 108 years...

-...and when the moon that never sets glows red...

#1

-The play at the start is just a ruse

-For a group of thieves, they can pull of a pretty decent stage play

7 must be Hollow Knight. 5 is (fittingly) Persona 5

Dark Souls and FFIX

Third hint for these;

8: Not broccoli, but llama's.
Hint 2: They walk around the landscape, there's news items about them, there's even a cheat-code that turns your advisors into llama's!
Hint 3: Which is strange, taking City Planning, Finance, Utilities, Public Safety, Health and Education, Transportation and Environmental news and advice from animals. Guessed by Jpcc86 - SimCity 4

6: Though it's not explicitly mentioned anywhere, I'm sure each game in this series is based on a certain real-world country. It's not necessarily why I like it so much, but because of the 'year', the architecture of the buildings and the spice-trading theme I'm sure this one secretly references my home country.
Hint 2: Also, the digits of the years in these games's titles always add up to '9'.
Hint 3: Stuff is built on small islands, there are 'northern' ones, with spruce looking trees, and 'southern' ones, with palm trees.

Correct on both.
