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

A Star Ocean game? I think all of them have Double Slash.

You're too fast. As I read the hints you've already written what I think.

If you knew all three, then you're good too!

Btw, did you see my guess to your latest clue?

Only Sims and Link to the Past.

And your guess Doom? Was wrong.

#42

a) Very classical game, often copied and sequeled.

b) You can kill yourself with your own attack, if you're not careful.

#41

a) Conclusion of a trilogy that adapts a classical IP with newer technology.

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.

Surprisingly Bomberman is right, you got it already with these vague hints. Congratulations!

Ninja Gaiden is wrong, but I'll add more hints later.

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.

Professor Layton and Pandoras diabolical box!

OK, hints:

49: Features the gods of ancient history

45: A classic of the late 90s that has been remastered in recent years.

Some wild guesses:

49: Age of Mythology

45: StarCraft

Not so wild, both correct!

#45	Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
guessed by	Jpcc86
platform	Switch
release year	2016
developer/publisher	Nihon Falcom/NIS America
genre	action RPG
links	Wikipedia
past years	2018: #47

Ys is a longrunning RPG-series with the hero Adol Christin as the main character. In this entry his ship wrecks on a mysterious island. As he explores the island he find other passengers of the ship, helps building a shelter, fend off monster attacks and so on. It is a very satisfying mix of actions.

The fighting system is diverse and each character brings on their own set of moves, which helps to keep fighting fresh. The game also offers decent challenges.

The real fun is to explore more and more of the island and on the way uncover more of a twisted plot. At some point we have even to solve a crime and play detective.

Another element are the recurring monster attacks which can be played for points as waves of monsters attack your base.

I played it on Switch, which probably doesn't offer the best graphical fidelity of all version, but still it was a very nice looking game. If you like action JRPGs, you should give this game a try.
