Alright, we're almost at the end of November, feel like I've taken as much time as I could really. I just "finished" Hades 2 the other day and my opinion on it feels more solidified now, so that can go into the list. As for Clair Obscur... I've yet to finish it, but if it ranks high, I have a couple weeks yet before I have to commit it to a specific position on the list. It's risky to do this for a game I haven't seen the ending of yet, but I'm confident that it will rank high so I'm gonna go on a limb here and get the list going.

Right off the bat I wanna say, I've got 6 new games coming into the list this year! That's more than I've had in most years, and I'm happy with it. Still wish I'd had the time and money to have added a 7th new entry there in Digimon Story Time Stranger, but well, that'll have to wait for next year. For now, well...

I still need to make my graphics, but let me try to catch up by giving away a lot of easy hints.

#50 - The third entry of the series that brought several new plastic toys into your living room!
#49 - The first in a sci-fi trilogy that became a classic in gaming culture. I hear they're making another one...
#48 - Maybe the most popular game that plays like Smash Bros. without being Smash Bros.
#47 - The remake of the 1st game in a series due its next entry this December.
#46 - What if Zelda, but every character is a fox?
#45 - Apparently this "failure" sold 35 million units... 
#44 - The remake of the 2nd game in a series due its next entry this December. (yes I am milking this hint now)
#43 - Chicken jockey.
#42 - The latest and greatest ink shooter  :)
#41 - If poker was as addictive as this, I'd have a serious gambling issue...
#40 - still alive.
#39 - The last 2D entry in a series that has been regularly criticized since its move to 3D.
#38 - Putting the "hero" in the hero shooter.
#37 - Still the latest entry in this trilogy that is very soon to get a 4th entry.
#36 - I swear this is nominated for "Best Community Support" literally every year at The Game Awards
#35 - Maybe the least popular game that plays like Smash Bros. and is Smash Bros.

Some more clues. Not getting many guesses this year. I haven't sent my final list yet, so these are fair game for anyone and everyone

46 (incorrect guesses - Pyschonauts)
- The playable character has the ability to enter people's dreams

45
- You end up trying to solve everyone's problems whilst trying to solve your own.
- Both this title and its sequel took advantage of the features of the hardware it was released on - you even have to hold the console like a book to enhance the visual novel aspect of the game.

42

- The final part in a popular trilogy of platformers released on 4th gen system

40

39

- This was initially a whip cracking launch title for a popular handheld.

38

37
