FTG Writes: Even as the PlayStation 4 and new Xbox slowly force our old consoles into obsolescence, independent studios are still churning out some truly unique and downright fun games. This has been the case with DrinkBox Studios, who has already bursted onto the scene with great games like Mutant Blobs Attack. DrinkBox has outdone themselves, as Guacamelee! is a perfect blend of the exploration in Metroid with a unique take on the brawler genre by adding lots of wrestling and luchador-inspired moves. Not only is it strong in the combat front, but the general aesthetic of Mexican cultural themes and a distinct art style make this a downloadable gem that you shouldn't miss.
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Guacamelee is an amazing Metroidvania series with a fun story and beautiful graphics. Check out Jason's Nindie Spotlight on this gem that highlights its unique art style and fantastic boss fights..

Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.
Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.
In my opinion Guacamelle 2 is even better than first..hopefully we will get third game
I highly recommend TimeSpinner. It's on everything now but I played and platinum'd it on PS4. Excellent classic style MV with a cool 'time' element and hidden secrets, bosses, multiple ending/outcomes, etc. 9/10 from me.
