  • Set entirely in a city controlled by a company that is bleeding the world of its life

#27

  • Before this we had Sky, Zero, and Azure

#26

  • Finally out in the world after escaping the city

I don't know much about any of these, but I'm gonna guess, respectively... FFVII Remake, Trails of Cold Steel, and FFVII Rebirth?

Correct on all three.

Okay, I am officially struggling to get myself to do the graphics and post here every day... considering not doing a post for every game, but hey, at least I'll get a hint out for every game, so here goes. (also, I need to remind myself that I can guess other people's games - it became habit not to do so after so many years of hosting the event)

#34 - People thought this 2nd entry in the series was divisive, but it seems like the 4th one is about to be far more...
#33 - Though this is the 3rd game in this series, it's seen as the first of a "trilogy" of sorts - most fans have only played 3-5.
#32 - Rhythm violence.
#31 - The time-loop mechanics in this almost makes me wonder if we could consider this the earliest roguelike

I'm guessing 34 is Metroid Prime 2?



#35 - The villain of this sequel jokingly suggests a third installment is on the way, but it never materialized 

#34 - The solo developer of this 2022 RPG was influenced by Xenogears, Suikoden, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI

#33 - A lot of fans love the feline power-up in this game, but I think I prefer the cherry-based one

#32 - The antagonist of this game is "a wicked man of the desert"

#31 - This game that birthed a sub-genre was woefully misunderstood at first, with one key decision-maker saying later, "We definitely dropped the ball from a publishing standpoint, including studio management side."

All correct!



Current list - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=249858&page=1#6

Still a lot of unguessed clues - final go round for these. Tried to make them a bit easier now.

46 (incorrect guesses - Psychonauts)
- The playable character has the ability to enter people's dreams
- This was sort of like the PS1’s answer to classic Zelda.
- The NTSC version was simply titled after the protagonist. The European version added The Adventures of... to the title.

45
- You end up trying to solve everyone's problems whilst trying to solve your own.
- Both this title and its sequel took advantage of the features of the (incredibly successful) hardware it was released on - you even have to hold the handheld console like a book, allowing the dual screens to enhance the visual novel aspect of the game.
- This is named after the establishment where your character, a former detective turned salesman, stays for the duration of the game.

42 - Donkey Kong Country 3
- Pink or blue - you will see one of these colours when you complete a level. It represents the colour of the clothing of the character you completed the level with.
- The two playable characters from the first game in the series must be saved.
- The final part in a popular trilogy of platformers released on 4th gen platform. It would be almost 15 years before another game bearing this name was released (which was made by a different developer)

40 - Crash Bandicoot 2
- Obtaining the collectibles in this direct sequel is not quite as frustrating as the first game in the series.
- The playable marsupial was something of a mascot at the time for the hardware manufacturer, with it being their first console.
- This game introduced the sister of the main character, who then became playable in the following game.

39 - Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
- In some regions, this game had the same title as two other games in this well known series. In other regions, it had a subtitle.
- This game was re-released for modern consoles in a collection with two others from the same series. All three were first released on the same piece of hardware.
- This was initially a whip cracking launch title for a popular handheld.

38 - Doom II
- This sequel introduces multiple new enemies, but only one new weapon (and even then, it’s sort of an upgrade to an existing weapon).
- One of those new enemies can revive other fallen foes
- This FPS sequel to one of the most influential games of all time abandons the episodic nature of its predecessor.
