More hints.

#34 This was the third game in this platformer series. Which wouldn't see a new entry until 2013.

At the end of this game the protagonist is separated from his friends.

#33 In this game the main character is killed off at the beginning

The main character is out for revenge.

#32 This game has a special mechanic that let's you turn back time.

There is a good amount of jumping and climbing.

#31 This game is the start of a new trilogy after the originals on PS2.

It is from the same developer as #30

#30 This PS1 platformer was the first in it's series. It had a stronger focus on platforming than it's sequels.

The setting is very fantastical and strange. The locations range from medieval fantasy to more modern and industrial 

33 is God of War 3?

32 is Blinx?

31 is Ratchet and Clank Future? (1st game)

30 is Spyro the Dragon?

#33 is close it's God of War 2

#32 nope

#31 yes

#30 is correct

#28: Hitman 3

I played the Cloud Version. My internet is pretty slow, so I thought it probably wouldn't work that well. Surprisingly the demo worked without issues. Considering it's a rather slow paced and methodical game and not a fast paced action game I thought connection hiccups wouldn't be much of an issue. I was right. When the game stutters or freezes I just quickly press pause and wait. After at most a few minutes it'll continue. Handheld wasn't an option though, or just generally a wireless connection because I would get thrown out after 10 seconds due to bad connection.

The levels are brilliant and complex full of side missions and stuff to experiment with. You can either plan everything out and then execute it or just do whatever. You can kill almost anyone in various ways that range from shooting and axe murder to drowning them in a toilet. Everything can be a weapon. You can disguise yourself as anyone. Experimentation is key.

The different levels have various possible methods to eliminate the targets some of which are incredibly complex. In one level you can replace a detective that the target hired and investigate a case to get certain codes easier and then kill the target.

I also want to mention the first game in the trilogy, Hitman from 2016. Since that game and Hitman 2 are purchasable on the Switch like DLC if you bought Hitman 3 and the first game is only 30€ I also got that one and it's also great. But I generally like the levels in Hitman 3 more.

Hitman 3 shines in it's incredible complexity and amount of possible ways to complete the missions. I've spend over 200 hours messing around in these great sandboxes.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

23: Yoshi’s Story? Blind guess.

24: F-Zero

Nope to both.

For 24 I was first thinking Cyberpunk 2077, but the second hint made me go perhaps not. So I figured maybe a futuristic racing game. If it's not F-Zero, my other guess is;

WipeOut 2048

Though I guess it's a little depressing if you expect to not be around in 2048 anymore.

#28: Hitman 3

Last year I played Hitman for the first time and subsequently it made my honorable mentions. A series I slept too long on. I should put Hitman III also on my evergrowing backlog.

Crazy that we're already halfway through this, though to be fair I'm getting used to time being nonsense.

#25 - It had two versions released for different consoles, but the director considered each of them separate games, going as far as saying they're the 4th and 5th entries in the franchise. Everyone else just sticked to calling it the 4th.

Super Smash Bros for WiiU/3DS?

I hope I make it to my early 60s^^

But no, the game in question needs me to hit 110-111.

Don't know what 110-111 means but my first thought reading your hints was Star Wars Episode l Racer

I'd definitely recommend it to you. The story is very convoluted, but that's not much of an issue, since that's not the games focus.
