Time to add some more hints:


#49
a) Six degrees of freedom!
b) Robotic helpers gone crazy and taking over.
c) Asteroid mining is profitable... as long as you don't have to blow up the asteroid after the robots revolt.


#48
a) Build towers out of people.
b) Level up crazy much.
c) Eat curry, plip!


#47
a) Shipwrecked at this cursed island.


#46
a) Exploration on a hex-grid.


#45
a) Point-and-click adventure on a touchscreen.

49.  I really don't know, but I'm guessing either Elite or Eve Online
47.  Escape from Monkey Island

EDIT:  I take it back.  I actually think #49 is Descent.

#49 is indeed Descent. And I don't know why you needed this long to guess it, I thought six deegrees of freedom is pretty telling.

#47 isn't Monkey Island, but I remember last year you guessed all the time Monkey Island, long before I had it for real. So my answer is: Do you really think I placed Monkey Island this low?

#48 Disgaea 5. That one is obvious if you played the game I think

#46 That game could be anything. My only guess is Civ 5/6 since you technically explore on a Hex Grid

Indeed is #48 Disgaea 5 and it is indeed obvious if you played the game. But no, #46 isn't Civilization.

Tomb Raider 2013

Also wrong. I guess some games let you shipwreck on an island first.

Alright, first hints from my list:

48. Disney's rip-off of Madagascar
47. Another Disney game, but this one is a racing game

48. You play as a lion in most levels, and in some as a squirrel.
47. THQ's last Disney game.

Zelda Link’s Awakening then.

Wrong again. I should add some more hints, have to think about what I can hint at.

EDIT: And probably I should play Links Awakening sometimes, so I that I know what people are talking about.

Heh, for some reason I kept thinking 49 was a game that I never played.  And then I thought, "What if I actually did play this game?", and then the answer came to me immediately.

As for #47, I guess my memory is not too good.  But if the clues look like a Monkey Island game, then it's only natural to guess a Monkey Island game.

#47: Hmm, probably Mario Kart 8. If not that, maybe Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze. Whatever you see as the best WiiU-game.

The best Wii U game is obviously Breath of the Wild, therefore Ka-pi's hints are inconsistent.

Yeah, indeed they are. For me personally there is one WiiU-game higher in the list (as you know), but that wasn't rereleased, so he can't mean that.

Yeah, you got it. It's Mario Kart 8! And if anybody disagrees about that being the best Wii U game there's only one way to settle that dispute... whoever wins a race on MK8 is right! Although the fact that we'd be using MK8 for the contest proves it's the best anyway

Oh, just wait for my list up to the end to see some games that are better than Mario Kart 8 on switch. Although I agree MK8 is a pretty nice game. It made my list last year, but missed the TOP 50 this year. But some games are just better and some are even way up in my list. And they are objectively better, you just wait and see.
