#37 - This is a sequel to a game that notoriously dropped a lot of "content" from earlier games in the series - for this one, they brought a lot of that "content" back.
Hint 2 - Had this game followed previous trends in this series, it would've been... "Grey".

Pokemon Black&White 2?

- Solving everyone else's problems whilst trying to solve your own.
- A handheld title that produced one sequel. Fans hope for a remaster one day (much like two similar games from the same, now defunct, developer), or maybe even a third game.

#45: Well, I guessed before for someone else a Kyle Hyde game (wrongly), this looks again like Cing, so... Hotel Dusk: Room 215

You are of course correct. I did see that earlier guess so figured you would get this.

Fingers crossed we do see something more from Kyle Hyde in the future.

#49 You basicly start out as a werewolf but eventually become an animagus

  • Nightfall royalty
  • Specifically you turn into a wolf with an earring, first you can't change back, later you can switch at will

I'm guessing this is Twilight Princess?

Both correct!

Yes! I love another code and I am very happy about the remake (although I hadn't time yet to play it as I want to focus and immerse, so it is backlog for now), but Kyle Hyde was cool as well, so I would like it very much if Nintendo brings him back as well.

Time for some more riddles:

39. The sixteenth entry in a series, but it has "Three" in the title instead.

38. A game where you stare at a map for hours, from a company with a specialty in that genre.

37. The third in a series of handheld RPG's, where a villain becomes playable.

36. The fourth entry in a series, released the same day as a more prominent spinoff.

35. A platforming icon's greatest hits, remixed for a new audience.

34. THE Crossover Video Game (no not Fortnite).

33. The Twilight of the 2D mascot platformer's dominance.

32. One of many DS era games to use the letters D & S as an acronym, this time a JRPG.

31. Something like a third of this shooter's file size was voice acting.

Guessed by @Mnementh

I mean, this one needs no big introduction. The fifth generation of Pokémon games may have had its detractors back in the day, but nowadays it's widely acclaimed by most fans and rightly so, because these games are and were always amazing. Black and White 2 is seen by many as the superior entry, thanks to its wider variety of Pokémon to catch, amazing post-game content, and just being an all-around very complete Pokémon experience. Personally, I always preferred the originals as they had a better and more focused storyline, whereas the narrative here in the sequels sacrifices some of that focus for a more "traditional" Pokémon story. It's still one of the best narratives in the series though, not that that's saying much! Anyway, yeah. Great game, one of the best in the series, always fun to replay and randomize.

No. 37 Doom 1993

Thee best doom and still one of the best first person shooters. The formula of picking up coloured key cards to progress a level and unlock the end is simple and something I wish they would have sticked to or return to for modern titles, it doesn't have to make sense, it's just really fun and despite the game aging very much over the years it retains it's fun like no other game I can think of. It's almost a perfect video game, almost.

Change YoY: =   My Rating: 9.1 / 10

One of the games people often mention when the games-as-art discussion rears its weary, repetitive head, though admittedly there's a good reason for that. Journey was something quite different from just about all other video games I had ever played when it first released back in 2012. In an industry often dominated by fast-paced and loud action games, Journey took a completely different approach to everything, being a contemplative and quiet title in a sea of endless noise. Not only telling its story mostly through images and the world itself, but also creating an online multiplayer component where it was literally impossible to directly talk to the other people playing the game with you. It created a unique atmosphere that let the players take their time with the game, rarely pushing them forward to the next big set-piece as so many other games have a tendency to do. Rather, it let everyone set their own pace through the beautiful and varied environments, from the starting desert to the snowy mountaintops near the end.

That is not to say Journey is in any way difficult or complicated. Your goal is explicitly clear from the start, and there's ever really only one way forward, but the point of the game was never to overcome difficult challenges or figure out challenging puzzles. Rather, all you were asked to do was to experience the journey itself, and that's all that was ever needed. It's a wonderful, mostly peaceful trek across deserts, caves, and snowfields, and while other games have since come that have tried to emulate the style of Journey, none have quite captured its serene atmosphere as effectively as it did over a decade ago now.
