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

A Link to the Past?

Yes

30
- This title allows you to pick the order in which you visit the locations in the middle portion of the game.
- 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.

25 (incorrect guesses - The Witcher 3
- One particular port of this game is often cited as highly impressive for cramming so much content onto one cart.

Ah, 30 is a Tomb Raider game then. I don't know much about the franchise but I'm going to assume Tomb Raider 3, I believe it's subtitled "Adventures of Lara Croft"? Which would fit your second hint.

You are correct, and yes, that is the reason I used the phrase 'the adventures of' in the second clue. Good catch.

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.

Hmm, wait... I thought "OMO_I" was supposed to be some emoticon or something, but is that just the name of the game? OMORI? (but isn't that game always monochrome?)

I'm still not sure what's going on with #27 though. Your hints make me think Devil May Cry, but is that considered an ARPG? And "missteps at launch" make me think it'd be a more recent game, whose issues would've been rectified in later patches. Anyway, I'll just guess Devil May Cry 3.

OMORI is correct, it was kinda on purpose that the first hint (O_O_I) looked a little like an emoticon.

DMC3 is not right, I will say it's a game that you will think is rather obvious if you hear it at this point. The last hint I'll add is it's traditionally a mostly PC series.

Ah... My head's not good at thinking up ARPGs, so I looked up a list of some and yeah, it's rather obvious now that you mention it. Feels a bit like cheating to guess it like this, though.

That's fair I'll probably just chop it up as unguessed if nobody gets it soon
