46 - Retro revival done right. It's not shovel knight but I think it's just as good, taking from a different set of NES and SNES games and styles.

The Messenger?

This is correct!

50 - Probably the most out-of-left-field one on my list and the only game I'd argue is 'bad'. Dinosaurs and vore. Also it has an arcade version that's trash.

Couple of guesses:

50 Primal Rage

46 Aggelos

No to both, but I can see the appeal to Primal Rage. I have Aggelos but haven't played it. Maybe I should try it!

Bloodstained Ritual of the Night

Another one I have and need to play. The game is 'The Messenger', as guessed by Jenjab.

47 - Honestly, in terms of 2D Platformers this is honestly the pinnacle of its series in terms of level and world design even though most people seem to dislike it.

New Super Mario Bros. U

This is correct! Honestly, this game brought me back to my childhood. I thought the levels were well designed, doing the 'every level has its own unique gimmick' thing better than literally any Mario game before it, and the open world map with shortcuts and detours reminded me of super Mario World in the best ways. And Luigi U is almost as good. This game gets way too much flack and I do not understand why people don't love it more.
