Sorry, I'm late.

#26 - Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS1): I never had a Playstation, so I used to play the Crash Bandicoot trilogy at my friend's house, when I was a kid. Crash 2 is a fantastic upgrade over the first game, with better graphics, gameplay, and a incredible soundtrack. And I still play it today.

#27 - Freedom Planet - Wii U/NS

Sonic meets good game design meets Treasure Inc.

I fell in love quite easily with this game, it reminds me of the crazy and bizarre worlds and action of titles like Mischief Makers or Sin & Punishment, with somewhat out there stories but that is still very endearing.

The gameplay is excellent too, it draws quite heavily out of Sonic the Hedgehog in terms of the main gimmick being speed, but it bring QoL improvements that makes FP a lot better, most enemies can't hurt you unless they directly attack you, so running into them because your character is naturally fast gives you just enough time to get out of their way or start an attack, instead of unfairly punishing you for not knowing the level layout and enemy placement, general control and flow of the characters is fluid, camera stays put no matter what, among other small touches that make the game very pleasant, while still remaining a fair challenge.

The bosses are one of the major highlights too, again reminding me a lot of my favorite Treasure games, they are a visual and gameplay treat.

#26 - Super Mario World - SNES/GBA

I don't know if I can say much else about this game that hasn't already been said over the years.

Is a gud game.

Correct.

#38 The Last of Us

The Last of Us starts off with a story so tragic and gripping, that it's hard to believe it's really happening to Joel. I still remember watching youtube videos of complete non-gamers playing this game's first hour and just being taken away by how emotionally powerful it is. After this personal tragedy hits Joel we are fast forwarded 20 years. The whole world has been ruined by a zombie apocalypse that happened at the start of the game. Joel is then sent on a mission that forces him to spend all of this time with Ellie, a person that reminds him of his loss all those years ago. Joel and Ellie have to travel to another part of the country together, while trying to avoid bandits, zombies, and other pitfalls. These two characters go through hell together, eventually becoming very close. Towards the end of the game Joel is forced to choose between saving his friend or helping the world at large. 

The gameplay is excellent building on the Uncharted series' gameplay significantly. I always feel like Naughty Dog is asking "why can't you do this, or this" in their games, and then changing them so you can. Yes, you can climb things in TLoU, yes you can punch enemies knocking them out, yes you can use stealth in a shooter style game, yes you can scavenge metal and build things. Hopefully one day video games will be so advanced that we will be able to do in game, whatever we would be able to do in real life with our own bodies. Games like TLoU, BotW, and Uncharted 2 have always brought us a little closer to that dream. For that, and for the gripping, fantastic story TLoU makes the list. 

#37 God of War

Open world games are often quite empty. They contain as much content as any other game, but that content is either spaced farther apart, or blandly uninspired. God of War on the other hand is almost as densely packed with things to do and discoveries as a Metroidvania game. And when you're not making discoveries you're fighting enemies in an excellently revamped combat system, or being told the most interesting stories via banter from the game's three amigos. The decision to add the Frost Axe as Kratos' main weapon instead of the Blades of Chaos was a huge improvement. I always felt that combos from the Blades of Chaos were too easy to pull off due to the reach that they had. The Axe on the other hand is more of a close up weapon. Eventually you do get to use the Blades in this game, but they've been tweaked from older GoW games to be not as OP as they used to be. The equipment system in GoW is just as complex as any RPG like Mass Effect 2. This allows each player to build Kratos the way they want him to fight. Most of the boss fights were fairly easy, but the Valkyries were just genius. They were designed as post-game challenge bosses and it shows. Each Valkyrie has a unique set of moves, and is challenging as hell. But the final Valkyrie has all of the moves of all the previous Valkyries you've fought. So you're fighting this final boss that has this massive plethora of moves. She has to be the most complicated boss I've ever fought in any videogame ever. 

Are you going with two Zelda games here? Would be a high concentration of Zelda, after also having Wind Waker at 26.

#25: Zelda Ocarina of Time?

#24: Crash Bandicoot? Without checking, could’ve been this long between the last game to NSane Trilogy.

#23: Zelda Majora’s Mask? On the other hand maybe you already had this one earlier.

#31
Hint 1: Second and probably the most well-known game in this classic franchise.
Hint 2: The franchise is getting a movie soon.

#30
Hint 1: You can play a mini game while you wait.
Hint 2: 4 vs 4 multiplayer game.

#28
Hint 1: Pick up objects to throw at your opponent or to hit them.
Hint 2: The first two stages are the kitchen and the garden.

#27
Hint 1: Since this game wants to show the possibilities of the new console, you don't need to push any buttons.

#26
Hint 1: Swedish underground indie game.

#25
Hint 1: Among the characters in the game, there are now also a bee and a caterpillar.


Bonus hint: unlike most of my other games, #31, #28 and #26 aren't Nintendo games, and I didn't even play them on Nintendo consoles (although all three of them are actually available on a Nintendo console/consoles).

#31: Sonic 2

#27: Wii Sports?

#30 Splatoon

#26: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (there is a surprising amount of swedish games by the way)

#25: Yookah Laylee and the impossible lair

EDIT: #28 might be Elebits

#31 is correct!

#27 is not. You still have to push buttons on all of these Wii games.

#30 is correct!

#26 is not. My hint is actually a lot better than it may seem.

#25 and #28 are also both wrong.
