32
- This game and its sequel were remastered this year.

31

- The next game in this series is due next year, and when all is said and done, sales figures will surely be into the hundreds of millions.

30

- Like the previous entries in the series, this ‘90s title continues to follow the adventures of one of the most well known characters in gaming.
- This game, and the two that preceded it, were remastered and released as a collection in 2024. Aside from the updated graphics, one of the notable features was a ‘modern’ control scheme as an alternative to the ‘tank’ controls used to navigate the female protagonist upon initial release.

27
- Unlike the previous game, the unlockable character gets his own unique set of missions in this highly regarded sequel.

25
- One particular port of this game is often cited as highly impressive for cramming so much content onto one cart.

Alright, finally finished my graphics today! Should be all good, provided I don't make changes to the latter stages of the list, though that is quite likely to happen. Anyhow, seeing as we're almost at the halfway point, I might as well change my approach and post two games a day rather than spamming a lot of them together. I'll figure it out in due time.

Here's some hints for the last few of the first half!

#32 - Rhythm violence.
Extra hint - Though it's available on just about everything, this rhythm game was primarily meant to be played in VR.
Extra extra hint - It was developed by a couple of former Guitar Hero/Rock Band developers.
(this one never gets guessed, does it)

#31 - The time-loop mechanics in this almost makes me wonder if we could consider this the earliest roguelike?
Extra hint - This game is known for going very dark in a franchise typically seen as kid-friendly.
Extra extra hint - It spawned one of the earliest and most famous creepypastas on the internet.

#30 - Go kill Time... no, like, literally. Kill him.
Extra hint - A sequel to a beloved indie game... hopefully it doesn't mess too much with the chronology.

#29 - The 4th entry in this series, it was polarizing for being linear and adding a robot that told you what to do.
Extra hint - It is eligible for this year's event, which means it's not Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

#27 - Before this character's "animal form" became a wolf in a later game, it was a rabbit.

#26 - The story of a little spirit guy, as narrated by a big tree with a deep voice.

28) Earthbound but it's occasionally monochrome

OMO_I

27) The titular character is back for the third time, better kill him again

This title was controversial for a number of missteps at launch, but hands down has the best combat in this extremely influencial action RPG series

The Devil. Literally the Devil.

19) A JRPG party named after a star

Yuri Lowell. Repede. Rita Mordio.

A classic Tale from the golden age.

(I wasn't really happy with where I'd placed #26 so I figured since it was still unguessed I might as well change it. Next year I really gotta start my list ealier so I have time to figure out the placements...)

19: Tales of Vesperia

Your hints suddenly concern games that I know so hope you don't mind me (hopefully) cleaning up a bit

32) Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3

31) GTA 1

29) Resident Remake 2

28) Resident Remake 4

27) Mario Galaxy 2?

26) Mario Odyssey

25) I mean it applies to The Witcher 3 though I'm not so sure about that

I can guess the series for the last one, but honestly have no idea what those entries are called.

Yep, figured you would be the only one that could guess it aside from the ocassional passerby.

I thought I got 31? ...or maybe the loop started over?
32) Beat Saber?
30) Hades 2?
26) Ori and the Blind Forest?
