Time for the final finale of finalness. Only the top 5 games of my life remain.

5) The greatest FPS, which was given away for free this year as part of it's anniversary

4) The greatest western RPG, which had a sequel revealed recently with the character you were searching for as the new lead

3) The greatest puzzle game, which doesn't need your damn lemons

2) The greatest RTS, which is still hanging in there despite the developers best attempts

1) The greatest JRPG, where the protagonist believes two swords are twice as strong as one (the math checks out)

1) Tales of Symphonia?

Exactly! (somehow completely missed this answer before)

Well my phenomenal number 1 has been guessed as well as most of my top 5. Only 1 final game remains.

2) The greatest RTS, which is still hanging in there despite the developers best attempts

  • After more than 20 years it recieved a underwhelming and frankly mislabeled patch 2.0 this year

Welp, looks like I lost track of this again in our last week... Gonna put out hints for everything, and make 'em easy so hopefully they get guessed quick. Not like my last few picks here are particularly surprising, anyway.

#8 - The first game in this series to have the protagonist wear purple. She's worn purple in nearly every game since.
Hint 2 - Spoiler alert, but this is the game where "the baby" dies.

#6 - The first game by this indie studio whose long-awaited sequel was announced to release in 2023, but still hasn't...
Hint 2 - Soul of Wyrm. Soul of Root. Heart of Void.

#5 - This game is very famous for its UI (well, and also for being very good I suppose).

#4 - The most divisive entry in its series, which led to a radical (and very successful) shift in direction for every entry that followed.

#3 - "I embraced the light... When my name was ___"

#2 - Still processing the fact that this is gonna get a sequel.

#1 - Still mourning the fact that this is never getting a sequel...

I'm guessing this is Okami - I recall you waxing lyrical about it a few times.



Ooooh top 5

Either Starcraft or World of Warcraft 3

1) Mayhaps a little game called Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy?

I could probably guess the rest from memory, the first two are Super Metroid and Hollow Knight at least.

Lol. Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne. WoW is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Warcraft these days.
