A Hat in Time is a slightly shorter game, but it’s a good example of platforming done correctly. This a game inspired by 90’s platforming and takes the essence of games like Mario 64 and reshapes its format mechanics into a familiar but modern gameplay experience. This one may not stand the test of time, but it does offer a fun and enjoyable initial playthrough. Skylar & Plux’s design follows the 3D platforming formula and pays homage to Jak & Daxter, but there is a hint of Banjo Kazooie in the mix too. The game involves saving Clover Island from the clutches of the villainous CRT.
Clocking my first initial playthrough at around three and a half hours, the game offers four beautiful explorable areas, with one of those being the central hub world. I actually got to review this game back in May and I beat it in one sitting if you’re looking for a shorter platforming fix between the larger games being released this year. Whether it’s collecting gadgets, completing puzzles or discovering all the hidden gold bolts and R.Y.N.O parts, you’ll be in for a hell of a ride.Ī surprising 3D platforming gem you can play is Skylar & Plux. The attention to detail in particle effects and draw distance are stunning and is still a game that offers enough of its own originality to be genuinely fun. The slightly shorter remake of Ratchet & Clank amounts to about 8 hours of explosive gameplay, which is fine considering how incredibly beautiful the game’s Disney-Pixar quality animation is. The game itself tries to tie in familiar themes like Ratchet’s search to find his own race known as the Lombaxes, while staying true to first game’s story by discovering how Captain Qwark ended up in jail after Ratchet saved the galaxy from Chairman Drek. Originally being advertised as “the game, that’s based on the film which is based on the game,” Ratchet & Clank is a retelling of its first entry from its PS2 days which ties into its mediocre film adaptation. Last year, we began seeing a resurgence in the genre with Ratchet & Clank being released for PS4, and this has been followed by a number of others – for now though, we’ll start with our furry Lombax friend and his robotic companion. Super Mario Odyssey may be a marvel in platforming games due to its ambitious game design and level structure, but it’s not the only platformer out there that’s worthy of some praise. In fact, it’s so good and I’ve invested so much time into it that I’ve not been able to talk about any of my progress in case of potential spoiling it for others. I’m not going to tell porkies Super Mario Odyssey is fantastic.
