49. Oblivion?

45. Star Wars Galaxies?

It's weird...I hated the original trilogy (And we don't talk about ascension), but GOW 2018 is one of my all-time favourite games. 

Haven't edited my post yet (I'll do it when we reach day 40) but my game #44 isCall of Duty 4: Modern WarfareI'd played the series a few times before (still have my copy of CoD2 that came with my Xbox 360) and a few games after. I've since lost interest in the series for the most part but CoD 4 was something special. It was THE online game in my home for a long time. The campaign was masterfully done, as well. That was a great time to be a gamer. I'd gladly play Modern Warfare over pretty much any fps released before or since.

44 is Fable 3? Haven't played that in so long but it feels right.

Oh don't worry, GoW 2018 is much higher up the list  

As a fan of turn-based strategy and tactics games The Battle for Wesnoth is a game right up my alley. You play missions on a hex based map, where you position your troops and fight the enemy not unlike Fire Emblem. In difference to FE (besides the hexfield) you hire most of your troops instead of getting them through story (although you get these too). A major difference too is managing your gold as a resource to hire troops and recall to them battle in the next scenarios. Troops also need upkeep, so you have to balance the number of units with the number of villages you captured.

The game has many things to consider, like the terrain which hinders movement and gives boni and mali depending on troop type or the day-night-cycle, which also can give some units advantages. For instance dwarf units get boni in mountains, while merfolk is better in water. The story is progressed by overlayed text-boxes.

The setting is a medieval magical fantasy world. Many of the factions you can play are typical: humans with knights, mages or sometimes thieves, dwarfes, elves, orcs and so on. Merfolk on the other hand was something I don't see happen that often. Or undeads.

The game has currently 17 main campaigns. I say currently, because the game is constantly developed on. That is not all. The game has a thriving community, that develops tons of user-generated campaigns, maps or add-ons. Each campaign has it's own story, although they may be connected as all happens in the same setting. If playing the single-player campaigns aren't enough for you, you can play online matches.

This is an open-source game, meaning it can be downloaded and played for free and also that it is developed by multiple people over time, as everyone can join in. It includes a lot of tools to create your own map scenarios and campaigns, so there is a lot of user-created stuff downloadable.

You can join in on the free download from website or via Steam.

Hotline Miami

Hyperlight Drifter?

I kind of regret not making these nice cards now. It does look cool. Maybe I'll still do something for the top 10/20.

Pokemon Snap?

Some second hints for those that weren't guessed yet;

45: The cities in this game actually grow when you upgrade them. So cool, but sadly this graphical feature was removed again in newer games.

Hint 2: It's probably due to the fact that the big cities, especially the four huge ones, grow so much that they cover half a province on the campaign map when fully grown. In later games cities were represented by small model again like in previous games.

44: The biggest hype ever. GTA? Fortnite? Fall Guys? Minecraft? No.. this.

Hint 2: A few years ago, and I guess that's still somewhat going on, there was a resurgence of the stratospheric popularity of this franchise where players went out to do what you digitally do in this game in real life. In the between time the franchise's popularity didn't really go away, but it was never as huge as it was at the start.

43: This latest game in the franchise was already huge, but now that the second and latest expansion was released, you now have five worlds full of islands to settle.

Hint 2: These five world maps cover most of the corners of the world; two in the 'old world' (Europe), one in the 'new world' (Latin America), one in the North Pole and one in Africa.

42: Literally just a palet swap of a famous RTS game. Guessed by Ka-pi96

41: In the early 2000s the Quake 3 engine was the engine to build your game with. Plenty of games used it, especially first person shooter games. It's not yet time for a Star Wars game, but it is time for a game from another galactic franchise.

Hint 2: It follows a special forces team made to deal with the threats of an uncharted area of space, where the main ship was stranded in during the tv-show it's based on.
