  1. Boktai: The Sun Is in Your Hand 2003

  2. Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride 2008

    Turned 18 this year Nintendo DS

    A boy grows up, marries and raises a family over a long adventure, recruiting monsters that ask to join his party, in the 2009 Nintendo DS remake of the role playing game Dragon Quest V.

  3. Ghost of Tsushima 2020

    Turned 6 this year PlayStation 4

    A samurai fights the Mongol invasion of Tsushima Island across an open world, torn between the code he was raised by and stealthy, dishonorable methods that would cost fewer lives.
