#47 You have a grappling hook. But not the usual kind.

Hint#2 the sequel released on the newest console from sony.

#46 After 21 years being a console exclusive this game was the first in it's franchise to release on another platform.

Hint 2: It featured a new playable character.

#45 You pilot a mech with telekinetic force powers.

#44 This Fps was huge back on the Xbox 360. In your Arsenal of weapons you have a Lazer gun and a energy sword.

47 - Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)

46 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Both of those are correct.

Yes, that's correct. I don't think anyone got this last year, so I'm glad it got guessed this time round.

I didn't do this last year.  I know a fair amount of older games that other people might miss.

43- One of the surprise entries from 2022. While an extremely easy game with its strategical gameplay, still it had quite the interesting story and some of its design choices were used in FFXVI.
Honestly this game could have been a FF game, but instead had its own lore. The continent in the game is featured in the title.


42- This Jrpg singlehandedly carried the series forward due to the popularity of the cover character.
It released late for its system but still revitalized the console for a few more years yet.


41- This is my cheat JRPG, because it is more strategy than JRPG (thus loses spots on my top 50 JRPG list) but you can still level up your army in battle.
In order to level up, you must deal the finishing blow, and the game can be quite difficult, so you can't really make a certain unit stronger and one weaker as all units available will be needed in every battle. But you can team up on enemies, so sharing the last bits of an enemy by surrounding them can be effective.

42.  Pokemon R/G/B/Y

Correct, specifically I bought Pokemon Y for Pikachu.

44 is Halo 2?

45 is Mechassault?

#45 is not Mechassualt

My bad I read too quickly and only read FPs and Energy sword I guess lol. I assumed you were mentioning when it was first introduced.

Some more clues from my games:

50.  a) Classic anime character on the Gameboy Advance.
b) He's a robot.

49.  a) This game was based on a comic book and originally available only as a digital download.
b) The game released the same year as a movie by the same name.

48.  a)  This indie game gives you a reward for beating a level fast.
b) A Metroidvania and a Roguelike.

47.  a)  The second gold box game.  Not Zelda.
b)  Think Baldur's Gate, but even older and turn-based.

45.  This tower defense game is part of a series, but most games in the series are not tower defense games.

44.  Like Advance Wars, but with commanders on the field.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

#50: MegaMan?

#48: Dead Cells?

#47: This is hilarious. The first "hint" is specifically naming the game. The second "hint" adds no information, as all gold box games were D&D games (like Baldur's Gate later) and are all turn-based.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Box

So second must mean Curse of the Azure Bonds.

#45: Pixel Junk Monsters

#44: Yeah, that description is Heroes of Might and Magic and you like the second one, so HoMM II

Some more clues

44 - Hotel Dusk
- You solve everyone’s problems but your own in less than a day. But what you do discover along the way does offer you hope in your search for an old friend.
- There’s so much going on, that the protagonist feels the need to quiz himself at the end of every chapter
- A treacherous author and a hardworking maid are just two of a colourful cast of characters you’ll come across in the story.

43 - Metal Gear Solid
- Go ahead and indulge in that hazardous habit if you like, but your health will suffer, and you may get a lecture from certain members of your support team if you talk to them.

42
- Hitting enemies in a certain spot can trigger a long and agonising (but possibly amusing) death animation.

41
- I’m not sure why the playable characters in this game weren’t included when the series made the move to 3D, as two of the new characters created for the 3D game were pretty similar.

Is that the Astro boy game? Omega Factor was it?
