Gaming Age: "With visuals that could easily be mixed in with a dozen of modern-day cartoons, Drinkbox's magnanimous initiative to maintain a level of artistic fidelity in a 2D action-platformer has been whittled down to core values of new, shiny, and fun. Best of all, it works wonderfully and leaves us wanting simply more to do. While that's the note that anyone would like to end on, as an audience member it's a hard pill to swallow. Hopefully other studios take note from Drinkbox's Guacamelee!, a game that's tastefully ripped the highlights of gaming lore and design, and managed to weave it seamlessly into a stylized Mexican fantasy tale."
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..
Chirag Pattni discusses some of the best Metroidvania titles to be released this generation.
Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.
Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.
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.
me want but me broke... arrrrrgh!
I'm playing it right now on my Vita. Really love it so far!
