This game's banner here turned out to be one of my favourites, because the artwork looks great as a background. But that's not why it's in the Top 50, of course. 'Super Metroid' is a monumental game, and there aren't many games that do its genre better. The game's large, varied and maze-like world is a treat to navigate, and it never becomes a chore. The game oozes with secrets; they're everywhere, and when you're done you're thinking "Well I gotta be close to 100%" only to find out it was only 60.

I have actually played this game back in the 90s, on my aunt's Super Nintendo, on one of the rare occasions she let me and my nephew play on it instead of the older NES. The series then however dropped out of all knowledge, and I forgot about it, for many years. Almost two decades later, Metroid Fusion was offered on 3DS among other games as a thank you to early buyers of the system. After that I also bought Super Metroid on WiiU, and I was reminded of how much I missed out on over the years.

It's not Marvel's Avengers, sorry.

So #33 was guessed as Metroid Fusion, but #32 wasn't yet. So new hint for that one and hint for #31.

#33: Being chased by the antagonist makes it look like this game is in the survival horror genre, but it's not really.

Hint 2: The encounters are scripted though, and your enemy looks familiar. Metroid Fusion - Guessed by Kakadu18

#32: Chose one of three families, naturally one goes west over the mountains, the next goes east towards islands and ancient lands, and the third goes across the sea to the desert and fertile shores.

Hint 2: Even though each of these three families are the driving force behind the expansion of this empire, or republic actually, you all still answer to a central government that owns the capital.

#31: This games comes with what is maybe the most accessible map editor ever shipped alongside a game, where you can simply put down track elements such as tabletops, whoops and low high and high jumps as simple tiles.

Seems like I gotta keep this up!

#31 I thought about Theme Park, but jumps? No. I'll go with Excitebike 64 instead.
