Guessed by @Pajderman

It's hard to put in words how magical it felt to play this on the Game Boy Color as a nine-year-old, and how magical it still feels to even think about it. I don't normally care too much for nostalgia, I don't usually look back to my childhood with rose-tinted glasses, but this game specifically really hits that feeling for me. Pokémon was all I was into back then, but it wasn't until I slotted that Silver cartridge in that I experienced a truly great Pokémon game. The fact that it was in color, the sprites looked so nice, and all the new aditions really blew me away - the day/night cycle especially made me feel like I was experiencing the future of gaming. I know some console games had that already at the time, but to see it on the tiny screen just felt... different. The sense of adventure this game gave me was unlike any other at the time, and honestly? It still is. I don't replay this too often, but whenever I do, it's always magical.

Slow day, huh? Anyways, have a couple hints.

#24 - Possibly Mega Man's most noteworthy videogame appearance this century, but it's not a Mega Man game.
#23 - The protagonist can turn into a rabbit in this game, though he became more famous for turning into a different animal later in the series.

23 I'd think would be A Link to the Past?

24 probably Smash Bros Ultimate?

No guesses, so here's yet another hint.

#25

  • The main cast begin their lives as students in a military academy at the start of this game
  • They are part of a newly establish class where nobles and commoners are mixed together, rather than separated into different classes
  • The empire teeters on the brink of civil war, as tensions between the nobles and their opponents begin to mount as the game progresses
  • The first game set in the empire of Erebonia, north of the kingdom of Liberl and west of the city state Crossbell where the two previous story arcs within this series took place.

#24 Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

  • This game ends on a new take on one of the most famous moments in video game history

#23 Trails of Cold Steel IV

  • The final part of this four part arc within a larger series

#22

  • A kingdom once ruled by the Pale King
  • You were a failed experiment, alongside countless others like you
  • The game's namesake was the one successful experiment, created by the Pale King to trap the Radiance
  • You, a nameless knight, arrive at the outskirts of this kingdom at the start of the game, and soon delve deep underground to find the truth of what happened there

#21 Trails of Cold Steel II

  • Second of four, or seventh of twelve


Catching up with some hints

Current list - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/248646/post-only-once-the-official-thread-the-15th-annual-greatest-games-event/4/#4

26 - Super Mario Odyssey (incorrect guesses - The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap)

No. 24 Uncharted 4

This spot could hold any of the Uncharted games after Uncharted 2 bar Legacy, but I've decided the fourth is the best. It's the culminating of all the rest and has a really great diversity of environments and some of the best chapters in the series which branch out into semi open world areas. What a great series of just mindless, cinematic action blasting fun that are always so well paced and fun to Platinum.

33 is correct (tweaked the first clue slightly to make it a bit more specific).

26 however is incorrect (good game though).
