#35 - The first game in a "first-person shooter" series where you don't actually shoot bullets.

#34 - The third game in a "third-person shooter" series where you don't actually shoot bullets.

And I guess #34 is Splatoon 3

I guess 35 could be Portal.

You are both correct.

Horizon Zero Dawn

I like Horizon. I don't think it’s among the best in its genre but it has its own qualities that really make it special. The world building is very well done and the story keeps you asking questions making you eager for the next big reveal. The combat keeps you on the edge of your seat at times making for fun encounters. I really love the setting the devs came up with here and it makes for an interesting world to explore. The one thing that bothers me about the Horizon games is the HUD design. I’m playing through Forbidden West currently and it's a bit disappointing that they didn’t improve on the HUD design. With how beautiful these games look it’s crazy that the HUD can look so cluttered at times. You can disable parts of the HUD in the menu but you can tell that the game clearly wasn’t meant to be played with certain elements turned off. The remaster, while I agree with many people, isn't necessary. It's the ideal way to play the game and makes it feels like a new release. Overall I quite like this series and I'm curious to see where Guerilla games goes next with it.

I think 45 is a lost cause but 36 should be guessable

#45 The game that made me think boomerangs were cool (they are)

  • G'day mate!
  • An early 2000s platformer from down under
  • Not quite a tasmanian devil like Taz, but close to it

#36 Three dogs, two birds, one weird green insecty thing.

  • The first two versions had the two birds on the cover, this one had one of the dogs

Just one game left now.

#35: Tales of Berseria

  • Though most games in this long-running series are unrelated to each other, this entry was is set in the same world as the previous entry in it, set around a 1000 years earlier.

#34: Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

  • The game received an updated version a year after release that made some changes to features such as enemy positioning and behavior, and also added some new details to the story, including a new final boss that appears if you complete certain requirements beforehand.
  • Said new final boss was also the namesake of this updated version, though he wasn't directly named in the subtitle bur rather referred to by a specific title.
  • The previous final boss was the queen of the kingdom the game is set in. The king can also be fought as an optional boss.

#33: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III

  • After two games of student life, the main character has now become a teacher in a newly established branch of a military academy.

#32: The Last of Us Part II

  • About halfway through the story the perspective suddenly switches to who up to that point had been the game's main antagonist.

#31:

  • Details the events of a secret offensive during the second Europan War.
  • Takes place at the same time as the first game in the series.
  • Much of the game is set in the frozen northern reaches of the continent.
  • Much of the overarching storyline of the whole series focuses on a race of valkyries and their powers being used, or abused, in the war.

Not only is Control the most fun game to simply play that Remedy has ever made, the combination of gunplay and magic powers works wonderfully, but it also features one of my favourite settings in all of video games to date. The Oldest House is wonderfully cryptic and strange place, and the wider world it begins to reveal during the story as well as the various side quests and optional collectibles. I also found the characters far more well-rounded than in previous Remedy games, Jesse Faden being a great main character driven by an excellent performance by Courtney Hope. The rest of the cast is great too, a particular highlight being Ahti the janitor, and the voice actors do a great job leaning into the slightly off feeling of the whole game. Finally, I'd be remiss not to mention the Ashtray Maze, one of the single best levels in any video game in recent memory. Combined with the track "Take Control", it's a genuine highlight in an already excellent game.

Control is a good game and I like the creativity of some stuff, like the level literally called Jesse Faden starring in "Swift Platform". and I hate platforming as I suck with that.

But if you like the vibe of Control, you should know it is clearly inspired by an internet thing called SCP. When I played Control and got the first document describing an artifact I sat there thinking: this is literally an SCP, which makes the Federal Bureau of Control the SCP Foundation. Wikipedia has an explanation and you find the SCP in the SCP-Foundation Wiki. Be aware that SCP is completely community driven, nobody owns it, it is by not one author but many, it has no real canon, although the SCPs clearly have a vibe or tone - something that Control copies. Some SCPs are better, some are bad, but some are amazing. Good examples are SCP-294 or SCP-426. So if you want more of the tone of Control you find it there.

Not related to SCP or Control, but similar in vibe is the novel House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. (see Wikipedia or buy). And of that book I know only because (to get back to videogames) because of the Doom-WAD MyHouse.wad: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/134292

Can recommend all that if you want to dive deeper into strange stuff.
