Genre: Platform

A great 2D side-scrolling soulslike. At times the difficulty feels a little artificial, but overall a solid experience with well crafted mechanics and world.

Fun co-op puzzle platforming. Creative and funny, it’s worth it if even for a single session with a friend.

A 3D puzzle platformer that is best, if not exclusively enjoyed with friends. Emergent moments borne of the physics can be rewarding but mainly just hilarious.

Quite likely the best 3D platformer ever. The perfected, foundational movement is creatively explored and tested through several worlds brimming with ideas which constantly surprise and delight. Masterpiece.

While it’s not “the Dark Souls of platformers” (because that’s stupid), it is quite challenging and famously gorgeous. This is a true labor of love and is absolutely more than the sum of its parts.

Unassuming, difficult classic platformer - it’s not really a rogue-like, but there is certainly permadeath. There’s a charming physicality to the movement and combat, and it’s overall worth a play.

Technical niggles are easy to overlook when a game is this lovingly crafted, heart-warming and - at the time - unique. An absorbing and emotional triumph from Ueda and team. Masterpiece.

A spiritual successor to LIMBO, taking everything they’re good at and doing it better. Puzzles, art direction, sound design, environmental storytelling. INSIDE is dark, unexpected and brilliant.

A simple but mostly well executed puzzle game with an interesting story, a good level of variety and great soundtrack.
