Shadow of the Colossus.

Yep!

The other one, the developers apologised for the spelling at the BAFTAs

Hint for number 34.

This origin story reboot takes gameplay from many well known and highly rated franchise and uses them extremely well.

Tomb Raider?

Clues for 36 and 35:

36. A story about a man, his love and a horse.

35. This game's title is horribly misspelt in proper English (UK).


36. RDR...or maybe Gun?

Nope, PS2 gen


Gun was a great PS2 game that fits that criteria.  Is your game Wild Arms?

Nope, Kresnik got it (Shadow of the Colossus). Never actually played Gun so I didn't realise it was on the PS2.

Nope.  You could say that Tomb Raider took the open world style of the Assassin's Creed games and update its gunplay system to what we see on current games, but that's it.  The reboot in question has taken ideas dealing with gameplay from three seperate franchises/games.

Clue for my #34 - first handheld-only entry in an incredibly long running JRPG series with patchy western localizations; up until last generation when the shit hit the fan and we seemed to get everything we desired thanks to XSeed.

I'm still behind

#45 - An underappreciated fighter published by Sony. This game is super fun because you can impale people with stuff you break.

#44 - One of the most expensive games on eBay, more expensive then Earthbound. It's similar to MegaMan X, and it's also a SNES game. Developed by a Western Studio (which is known for big budget movies), published by a Japanese one (which wasn't a big studio until the PS1 era).

#39 - This game never localized, despite strong sales from this newly localized franchise. Because of this, the next game in the series is often given credit for introducing new features (like creating a character after yourself) despite this game being the one to do so.

#38 - One of the only games where they managed to make a proper 4th installment on a trilogy that ended very conclusively. I.i. it's the 4th game in a trilogy

#37 - This game received some praise for mocking other well established franchises but critisizm for a lack of originality. Had a very challenging post game challenge mode, which took me 2 days to finish, but it was damn satisfying. IMO this game defines fast paced action games.

#36 - One of the major characters in this game, was not seen in a sequel, but might be re-introduced in the next game in the series. This game is often considered the best in the franchise by most of the hardcore fans.

#35 Was an exclusive, then it was no longer exclusive, but then a special edition made this an exclusive again. A terrible design choice in the sequel killed all hype for this franchise.

#34 In my opinion, this is the last good handheld game from this Nintendo franchise, and it's not even developed by Nintendo. Newer installments have taking a different direction with art style, and actually branches of the overall plot.

Tomb Raider 2013?  If it is that game was amazing.

I actually didn't like the Tomb Raider reboot.  This was already guessed though so I'll copy/paste my reply.

Nope.  You could say that Tomb Raider took the open world style of the Assassin's Creed games and update its gunplay system to what we see on current games, but that's it.  The reboot in question has taken ideas dealing with gameplay from three seperate franchises/games.

Hint for #34:

This wonderful RPG blends golden-age Final Fantasy and Zelda gameplay to great effect.

Golden Sun? (Zelda like Dungeons, "Golden Age", Turn based RPG)


Bingo. I love Golden Sun. The battle system has a lot in common with FFVI, and using magic spells like action/adventure tools an obvious design decision that most other RPGs don't use for some reason.

If the intro wasn't so long and dull, I'd probably put Golden Sun in my top 25.

I'm going to say that I did once think about this game but this one hardly seems Zelda like.  It's mostly normal dungeons with very light usage of the telekenesis skill. 

Anyways, good game.


Maybe you remember the game differently from me. For one, the game's puzzles often extended beyond the usual dungeon (there's a fair amount of optional mini dungeons, too), and in many cases, dungeons introduce a new skill necessary to progression, much like an action/adventure game. It also encourages Zelda-like backtracking for 100% purposes (btw, Golden Sun is one of the few game I've ever bothered to 100%).
