This is a game that can take up a whole year, per 'game'. In fact, I don't think I ever actually completed a full campaign in Medieval II: Total War. There is so much that can happen; conquer Europe, get entangled in wars against the hordes of the steppe or discover the New World and battle the Aztecs. Meanwhile, if you're a Christian faction, you'll have to deal with the politics of the Pope and avoid the Papal Inquisitors that are out to try your generals. I often took a lot of time on a single turn once I got a bit further into a game, even up to half an hour. When a campaign takes about 250 turns, that's a lot of time. Might as well actually have taken from 1080 to 1530.

I didn't notice these two games were side-by-side in my list until now, but on second thought, it is true that Medieval II and its predecessor Rome: Total War are basically just as good. Rome introduced me to the series, of which I'm also a big fan of Empire and Rome's sequel, so it at least has that. But, Rome also has the extra depth of the noble families. We're all Romans, but hey, only one Roman can be the most glorious one, so at some point they'll have to go. This game is a bit more straightforward than its successor, because as Rome, you'll just have to conquer the world. It might be a slow start, but at one point, you'll become so powerful with your Legionnaires, that no one will stop you. At least this game won't take as long then.

Motocross Madness is a bit of a guilty pleasure. Is this game good? Probably quite average. As a racing game? Pretty basic. It is fun however. And the best thing about that is, is that I'm pretty sure the amount of laughs and silly antics in this game was probably not really the intent. The game's presentation is fairly serious at least. It has realistic graphics, flashy menu screens and cool bike sounds. But in reality, the way the riders crash and how they'll stumble over obstacles is hilarious. And then there's the stunt mode, which is a big open landscape. There are big cliffs surrounding it to keep you in the gameplay area, but with the right speed and the right angle you can get up there. Then though, instead of going out of bounds, you'll get blasted away as if shot from a canon, all across the map. Who programmed that?!

This is actually one of the hardest games to rank at this point. The fact that it's a multiplayer game in a list mostly comprised of single player experiences doesn't help much to begin with, but also how it has a sequel which is quite objectively a better game in most areas but I like less for specific reasons - making this a game that shows up here less so because of its inherent quality, and moreso because of the memories I made with it, but these memories are being left farther and farther in the past. So yeah, it's a strange one.

Still, it should always be around, because if only for four years, Smash 4 was my life. It was my friends, it was my travels, it was everything. Thanks to this game I got to know a lot of really cool people, some cool places, and even in non-Smash related trips, I could always look up a Smash community wherever I was and it'd often turn out a fun afternoon at a tournament somewhere. Heck, I still do that. Most of the people I talk to nowadays I met through Smash, many of my best friends I met because of Smash, so yeah, I owe this game a lot. Granted, Ultimate has left a lot of it in the past, and in the years since, many of those friendships I made have been broken, which sours it all, but even if someday I end up losing all the friends I made through this game, I'm still gonna cherish it for how much it shaped those 4 years of my life. It was great times.

And to end this on a nostalgic vibe, I'll leave you with one of my cooler sets against Kubas (these MK vs. Mewtwo games were a staple around here).

Top 50 >>

#36 (incorrect guesses - A Short Hike)
- Do you want to go hiking or mountain climbing?
- I killed him earlier, why’s he still on the floor? Oh well, I’ll walk past and… no, wait, he’s alive, and more deadly than before.
- Opening that door is a riskier move this time around.

#35 - guessed correctly - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
- If you rest long enough in a certain place on that train ride, you will get a nasty surprise.
- The Switch version of this popular crowdfunded game got off to a rough start.
- It's pretty much an entry in a popular series in all but name. No surprise given who was at the helm.

#34
- The guy who dies shortly after you arrive on location shares his name with a guy who suffers a similar fate in a movie franchise that no doubt influenced this game.
- Whether you get more puzzles or more combat depends on which team mate you choose to follow at certain points.
- Made in the same mould as another, more popular series from the same developer. Although this game utilises 3D environments, which the other series hadn't done at this point.

#33
- Smelling of urine isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
- And looking at the guard’s butts can be advantageous at one point too.
- You could run into issues early on if you haven't got the case.

#32 - guessed correctly - Goldeneye 007
- That damned doctor can make or break a run for a frustrating unlockable.
- No doubt countless arguments broke out because someone decided to be the little guy.
- There's two levels that aren't tied directly to the source material, but certainly make sense as a bonus.

#30
- Now you have to collect stat points and equipment upgrades, rather than finding / earning the money to do so.
- Features the first appearance in the series of a person better known for featuring on a stunt / prank show.

#29
- Features a soundtrack of original songs from fictional bands, that was also available on a separate CD.

#28
- This game was named differently depending on the region of release. The recent re-release combined these two names in a way that is pretty clever when you think about it

My list so far

35: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night?

32: Goldeney 007

Yes to both.

Goldeneye clues refer to Dr Doak in Facility when trying to unlock the invincibility cheat... what an absolute nightmare that was as a kid (never did manage it). Second clue refers to Oddjob in multiplayer (this happened a lot when I played it), and the last clue is about the Aztec and Egypt levels.

YoY: NEW!     My Rating: 9.2/10

The original Valkyria Chronicles is one of my absolute favourite games of all time, and to my great delight it proved to be an unexpected success back in 2008. I was anticipating another home console sequel to be announced relatively quickly, but then it turned out the next game in the series would be released on the PSP instead. I liked the game, but it was definitely held back by its platform, and failed to sell nearly as much as the first game. Following this, the third game was never even released outside of Japan as the PSP wasn't really doing very well in the west at that point. As a result, for quite a few years it felt like the series was effectively dead. Then finally, Valkyria Chronicles 4 was announced for home consoles and eventually released in 2018, making this without question one of the longest waits for a game I've ever experienced. Fortunately, it more than lived up to my expectations.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is not quite on the level of the first game, mostly because I liked the story and characters a little bit more, but on the gameplay side there are some great improvements and additions made to what we had in the earlier games, including a new character class and some more variety to the gameplay of existing ones. Visually, this is a beautiful game, the anime-inspired, watercolor style creating some truly impressive moments. This is without question a worthy follow-up to the first game, and hopefully we don't have to wait another 10 years for the next title in the series.

All games were guessed this time around, so without further adieu here are some words about my number 35-31:

Alright better leave some new hints as well so I don't fall behind:

30) 264 floors

29) In a way this game's world is comprised of sounds

28) Few games have as many "endings" as this, though to be fair the game doesn't actually end after some of them.

27) Reaching for the moon

26) Several lines from this game are permanently ingrained in my brain:
"My old enemy..."
"I've been thinking-" "Don't hurt yourself."
"I. Am. DYING."

28: Nier: Automata is the first game that came to mind.

27: To the Moon? Or is that too obvious?
