#20. Killer robots chase you.
#19. A racing game that is really, really fast.
#18. Involves Greek gods.
#17. The number 37 is strongly related to it.

#18: There is no lack of games involving Greek gods, but let's randomly pick one: Immportals Fenyx Rising.

20 could be Metroid Dread?

19 - an F Zero game? F Zero GX?

UnderwaterFunktown overtook S.Peelman with now 4 guesses. Darashiva and Machina are still in the lead. See here.

Let's add some hints for the unguessed games:

#20: Baldur's Gate as guessed by Darashiva.

#19:
The game has some innovative ideas, mainly it tries it's hand at procedural story generation and character growth, meaning each playthrough is different.
First the Age of Ulstryx.

#18:
Our boy needs a 100-year nap after losing a fight and the girl has to hold the fort for the time.

#17:
20 minute survivors.

#16:
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" ... does a simple sorry cut it, if the wait was 26 or 21 years (depending on the region)?

18: Breath of the Wild?

17: Was the cycle in Outer Wilds 20 minutes? I'll guess that.

Breath of the Wild is correct. Outer Wilds I have yet to play.

27) So a Dino Crisis game. Maybe 3?

I'm trying to make sense of 24 and 23 but can't figure out the series

Incorrect, but very close.

Dino Crisis 2 I suppose then

Since my last hints didn't do much I'm just gonna go ahead and add some more:

20) A subtle hint was dropped at a potential film inspired by this game

It was hinted during a film based on the franchise as a whole

"There's a huge universe out there..."

19) Skill trees shaped like icons

More precisely asterisms in shapes that fit each skill

Skills include but are not limited to Lockpicking, Alchemy, Smithing, Speech, Enchanting etc. etc.

18) Arguably still the most ambitious entry in a series that has strived to outdo itself every time

It added the most new modes, had the biggest story and was a step up in graphics despite the system it was one

It's the middle installment in a 5 game series

Is #18 Smash Bros. Brawl?

19 is Skyrim I think.

20 I don't think it is Super Mario Galaxy? but that is my guess

See here for the standing in the guessing game.

#20: Baldur's Gate as guessed by Darashiva.

#19:
The game has some innovative ideas, mainly it tries it's hand at procedural story generation and character growth, meaning each playthrough is different.
First the Age of Ulstryx.
Meet Drauven, Thrixl, Morthagi.

#18: Breath of the Wild as guessed by Darashiva.

#17: (not Outer Wilds)
20 minute survivors.
Shoot at these spawning horrors to survive until dawn.

#16:
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" ... does a simple sorry cut it, if the wait was 26 or 21 years (depending on the region)?
"I can't believe I'm actually flying!" - yes, in this game he does.

#15:
Let's rise your settlement, before it falls again to Ruins.

Both correct!

The second part of that quote from the Mario movie is "with a lot of galaxies".
