''Guacamelee goes a long way in proving that while it’s important to be respectful for that which came before you should by no way be constrained to a the original box when designing something of similar origin and draws heavily from the 2D classics such as Super Metroid and Castlevania.
You start Guacamelee impoverished Mexican farmer named Juan whose simplistic life is flipped upside down when el Presidente’s daughter, who happens to be Juan’s true love, is kidnapped by the demon-skeleton Carlos Calaca. After a ham-fisted rescue attempt Juan is killed and resurrected as a Luchador in a realm of the dead filled with numerous creatures and enemies that stand between your vengeance and reunion. Juan develops his skills as a luchador throughout his journey in temples, deserts and forests; honing his wrestling ability to take on the deadly Calaca in one final showdown.''
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.
