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).

    Love playformers platformers especially 2D, although Astro’s Playhouse was a favourite too, but mostly for the creativity with the controller.

    For 2D I particularly liked the Ori games, so much love in the design of those games and the gameplay yo match

      If you are in any way able to get your hands on Astro Bot, I recommend it sooooo much. Even at it’s steep price, it’s already worth it for me (30 percent completed).

      And you can always use my strategy, buy second hand with the ability to sell again when you’re finished. I know this does not support the developer, but when money is tight (as is kind of the case for me) I think this doesn’t matter.
