#31: The Last of Us II?

Even more hints!

#40 - This game combines the design genius of a beloved Japanese studio and the writing talents of an American novelist, although the latter's contributions are hard to spot.

#39 - This is a bright, colorful, family-friendly platformer, but it's main gimmick is a little dark, when you think about it.

#38 - This handheld title is one of the few remakes that's allowed in this event.

#37 - The sequel to this cult favorite is probably vaporware at this point, but it just got a new lead writer, so who knows?

#36 - This home console sequel to a handheld title was recently repackaged with brand new DLC, which borrows the freedom of movement from #39.

So I got off my lazy ass and did my reordering in Excel after all. Which means I have a list now and I can hint!

#50: This installation of a long running RPG series represents a big step forward in production values and features a main character who is surprisingly agile for someone who shouldn't see a thing.
#49: The grandson of the father of fighting games.
#48: The Internet went crazy for one of this game's major bosses. Had the developer anticipated that fact, she might not have been the first one to die.
#47: What reboot? Never heard of a reboot? This game ignores a controversial reboot and follows the previous numbered title, this time allowing you to play three different characters.
#46: Take what's good of the original, add a dash of Hollow Knight, a pinch of breathtakingly beautiful environments and you get a sequel that eclipses the original completely.

Well guess we'll some more hints for these ones:

40) Perhaps one of the most famous cases of a "bug" becoming a feature
Hint 2: And a vital part of competetive play

39) This highly acclaimed title was caught in some controversy this year
Hint 2: I belive the arguments were "It's unwarranted", "It's too expensive" or "Take my money!"

38) As below, so above
Hint 2: For the first time in this series the protagonist isn't silent

37) The revival of revivals
Hint 2: Since this remake that started a trend came very long after the previous remake for the series

36) Most characters from the original game return in this sequel, though you only meet a few of them before the post game
Hint 2: One of these characters, the one you interact with the most of the returning ones, is the "final boss", though he didn't have that role in the first one
