Sweet.

Damn, it was that obvious? Think I was too clear with my hint!

I was hoping somebody would guess like Knuckles' Chaotix or a Tails game or something.

Bofferbrauer2 guessed it actually: Freedom Planet.

I backed that game on Kickstarter back in the day, so I know it really in and out. So no, it's not your hint, it's just that that game's pitch was pretty much that and that's what I wanted back then, too.

46. God of War (2018) (PS4)

First Played: 2019

Times Completed: 1

Wow this game is good, I've always enjoyed God of War games but they'd never be anywhere near my top 50. But this isn't exactly the same as earlier games, this time reinvention is a good thing. Once again this is a beautiful game, maybe the best looking game I've ever played, and each realm you visit is simply incredible in design, my favourite probably being Alfheim. The story is more of a focus this time and the way it is told and the characters (especially the relationship between Kratos and his son) are handled really well and not nearly as annoying as I first expected. The gameplay is a mix of combat, which is pretty deep and satisfying, and puzzles. That sounds similar to earlier God of War games, but it's much better here.

This has revitalised my interest in God of War and I'm definitely looking forward to the next game. 

My next few games

44. Not quite an unlimited saga, but pretty close.

43. Grasshopper Manufacture teams up with an old console company to reboot a classic jrpg.

42. A tactical entry to a well known franchise. Final Fantasy Tactics, guessed by The_Liquid_Laser

42. Bomberman?

43. This could be a lot of games, should probably wait for a further hint but I'll pick one at random, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.

Time for another hint before I’ll move on.

#45: In Europe the name of this game references a mytholical creature, while in the US the name is just diabolical.
#45 (Hint 2): At least we share the professor and the fact that it’s a box.

Thanks for helping to finance one of the most enjoyable games I've played!

#45 - The main character has a skill called Double Slash.
