The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
I’ve finally caved and paid 50 euros for a second hand copy of Astro Bot on PS5, and it is absolutely incredible. I know this game is only available to PS5 players, so I broadened the topic…
Let’s discuss your favorite Platformers. What is your favorite game or series? What do you love about these games? Are there things you don’t like about the genre? Feel free to share anything that comes up and react to other comments. Let’s get the conversation going!

There are surprisingly many great 3D platformers coming out atm. Last year we had Pseudoregalia, Cavern of Dreams and Corn Kidz 64. This year we’ve had Penny’s Big Breakaway and The Big Catch: Tacklebox, which itself is a free demo/prologue chapter for The Big Catch, coming out next year (and is also my most hotly anticipated upcoming game, even more so than Hollow Knight Silksong. I mean just look at that trailer and tell me the vibes aren’t peak!).
It’s a good time to be a fan of 3D platformers.
