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!

If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

I'm sad Little Big Planet doesn't get this love anymore. The first two games were fantastic platformers.

Thanks for reminding me! Those games were amazing and actually quite similar to Astro Bot in vibe: just wholesome, cute and positive all around!

I didn't enjoy 3 that much, and the new Sackboy game is fun but seems like a different genre almost.

I did really like the PSP and PSVita entries of LBP, if you have access to those devices you should give them a go! Even though they weren't made by the same team, they really captured the essence and both had a great campaign!

Sidenote, do you remember the millions of Shark Attack community levels? That was such a weird trend :).
