@Th3solution@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, I thought the same, and have therefore counted two points for Fatal Frame 5 based on the order @Jaz007 submitted his results.
Will be around from 8pm this evening (UK time) with a final rundown poised and ready to post.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@RogerRoger@Th3solution@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, it's FF5. He just said it put on the top so I didn't think about it much beyond that. Apologies if I should have been clearer.
Daemon x Machina - 2 points Pandora's Tower - 1 point Octopath Traveler - 1 point The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 1 point Xenoblade Chronicles 2 SE - 1 point
Here are the results from the round entitled A Slice of Nintendo, from bottom to top.
***
1 Point The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker WarioWare: Smooth Moves Xenoblade Chronicles
2 Points Bravely Default Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Red Steel
3 Points Fire Emblem: Awakening The Last Story Xenoblade Chronicles X
4 Points Daemon X Machina Xenoblade Chronicles 2
5 Points The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
7 Points Fatal Frame 5 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Octopath Traveller
8 Points No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies
***
Which means, in third place with 9 Points all told, it's...
...Pandora's Tower.
***
In a very respectable second place, with 12 Points total, it's...
...Lost in Shadow.
***
And the winner, with a whopping 15 Points to its name, can only be...
...Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Special Edition.
***
According to the rules of this round, @Th3solution will be carrying forward the top nine candidates and merging them with the four winning results from the steelbook showdown. This means, Red Leader, that the shortlist of pictures you wanna save is as follows.
Fatal Frame 5 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D Lost in Shadow No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Octopath Traveller Pandora's Tower Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Special Edition
It worked to separate out all the Xenoblade games, that's for sure, but people sure do seem to love their Zelda box art, as two of Link's best continue forward.
That's your round, everybody!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
As you appreciate the results posted above, ready yourselves for the next task.
The next phase of round 2 I like to call,
”Mostly on PlayStation”
This stage consists of 30 game covers from the master list that are primarily ....yup, you guessed it - PlayStation games. Like with Nintendo before, it may not be every single PlayStation console exclusive from the Round 2 master list, but it is the obvious ones that I pulled out at a glance. Don’t worry too much if you see I included a multi-platform or maybe left a PS exclusive behind; thus the title “Mostly on PlayStation” (Some of them were timed exclusives, or just simply known primarily as a Sony product first and foremost.). The purpose here is just to continue to sift through the list in phases. These subgroups are still not an exact science.
— — — — — — — —
8 of the 30 will advance.
So without further ado here are the voting instructions:
(Same as before)
Pick your favorite 5 entries
Your very favorite will get 2 points. The remaining 4 will each get 1 point.
Put your favorite selection at the top, for ease of counting later.
Pro Tips -
-be sure to be specific when you vote since some games here are alternate covers of the same game. (3 Last Guardian covers!)
-also be sure to actually click on the image to appreciate the full version of the cover art because the preview image is just part of it and you need to see the full effect to adequately judge some of these beauties.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution That was almost like we'd rehearsed it! Very smooth!
Looks like an interesting new round, too. Will take some time to mull, as we're into some of the more generic covers which, whilst all striking and impressive in their own right, will live or die based on individual tastes a lot more than previous categories, methinks.

Bloodborne
The Order 1886
Death Stranding
Nex Machina
The crowd, accepting this immediately, assumed the anti-Eurasian posters and banners everywhere were the result of acts of sabotage by agents of Goldstein and ripped them from the walls.
@RogerRoger Yeah, I have to be honest, the PlayStation covers are a little less exciting. Nevertheless I do like a handful of them really well and a couple of them are actually quite iconic.
I do see at least 8 that are worthy of advancing, but I’m withholding my vote this time so I can serve as a tie breaker just in case. Something tells me that it’s going to be a crowded top 10.
Ghost of Tsushima - 2 Points The Last Gaurdian (the EU one that looks like sketches on parchment, close to Ghost of Tsushima in the album) - 1 Point Left Alive - 1 Point Death Stranding - 1 Point Metal Gear Solid 4 - 1 Point
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@Th3solution Looks like I've forgotten about this missing from the "Steelbook Round" as well, but this version of The Last Guardian is actually a steelbook cover art.
Ghost Of Tsushima (PlayStation 4) ⭐⭐
Bloodborne (PlayStation 4)
Journey (PlayStation 4)
The Last Guardian (Collector’s Edition Steelbook) (PlayStation 4)
The Order 1886 (PlayStation 4)
I like the whole hour glass design with the sand/snow on the cabin. I think it sums up the game rather well, easily conveying what to expect without being too generic (aka dude on the cover syndrome) compared to some of the others.
Honestly it's the only one I really like from this round (Though Ghost of Tsushima is pretty decent too (I'm a sucker for the field of white flowers visual))
Ghost Of Tsushima The Last Guardian Exclusive Launch Edition(The Parchment one) Natural Doctrine Wipeout
The Last Guardian (Exclusive Launch Edition) (The one containing the concept art): 2 points
Ghost of Tsushima: 1 point
Death Stranding: 1 point
Danganronpa 1-2 Reload: 1 point
Bloodborne: 1 point
The Last Guardian is at the top of my list mainly due to how adorable Trico looks, plus the hand-drawn aesthetic is very distinctive. I love how colourful the Danganronpa artwork is, and it's fun seeing the various characters packed in on there. The others don't need any explanation from me, they're all stunning in their own ways.
