Last chance for #42. Seems my games are way too niche, even though my hints should be good enough for everyone who played the game or sometimes even heard about it, as only about half get's guessed, and that are the more mainstream ones. @The_Liquid_Laser got most of them last year.
#42: The character you choose is declared the saviour of the world and thrown into jail right at the beginning of the game. Explore the world in 3rd-person view while battling the turn-based with you armies in an overview from above. This title is the first in the series, that simply get's a 2 attached to the series name, but it isn't the second game. The first game was actually made by the famous strategy master studio New World Computing and is preceding Heroes of Might and Magic, but the name rights were bought by a russian studio later, which since then releases games in the series, including this one. The Kingdom of Nostria is in peril in this game.
#41: The newest entry in this long-running franchise adds a lot of mobility. This includes more verticality, which also is reflected in the name. Guessed by Supermario28.
#40: Eat PCB (printed curcuit board). You play an orange blob in this old puzzle game. Despite being an clone of the gameplay of Boulder Dash, I like this one more than the original.
#39: The "first part of the name of the game" Project is an independent global scientific organization, formerly a secret branch of the United Nations, dedicated to studying threats to humankind. It was founded in 1945, but was preceded by a number of other organizations, such as the Committee for the Study and Prevention of Species-Level Threats (Soviet Union, 1918-1927) and the "first part of the name of the game" Working Group (United States, 1935-1945). As the world is in peril by the mutating Pandoravirus, this organization rises from the ashes to protect the remaining survivors.
#38: Turn-based or real-time? I can't decide in this fourth entry in the series.
