This game has a plot, it's actually pretty boring. The game itself is a classic: roll your omnimagnetic ball around, collecting miscellany for reasons, and listening to the killer tunes. Vote often, and early, below in the pinned comment.

  • evanhelsing : since 2015? have you heard of mario neighbor theres been like 20 since then. team snoy? astrobot

So, I haven't really played any video games since my release from prison... what are the best platformers that have come out since 2015? How about the best point-and-click adventures? I play every genre of games, but those are generally my favorites. :marseygamer:

I'd never played that but I watched someone play that and it was actually fun. Because she's cute and does cute things. Something you could play with your daughter if you had one.

It's a really good game, cute but still good gameplay.

another I know of is DemonTurf but that's even more platforming focused while A hat in time leaned a bit more towards collectathon

Hollow Knight (rated 8.42 on rdrama), Cuphead (6.97) and Celeste (5.27) are the only three we've featured. All of them are probably worth checking out.

No email address required.

I would not consider Cuphead a platformer, it's a boss rush game with a couple platformed levels.

No email address required.

Fair enough, all I've played of it is a bossfight. I guess I'd say it has the same basic ideas as a platformer, even if it doesn't have a platformer's gameplay loop.

Yeah that's a pretty apt description.

Sorta platformers, I've linked gameplay to clarify what the games are -

Hollow Knight

Youtube gameplay

Pretty cool. You play as an anthropomorphic bug thing exploring an abandoned city filled with bug zombies.

Ghostrunner

Youtube Gameplay

Fantastic game, sequel apparently doesn't live up to it. The linked gameplay is from the "hard mode" you unlock after beating it once that redoes all the levels and enemy layouts now that you've got the movement and mechanics down.


You probably missed Factorio while you were in prison so maybe give that genre of games a look. I don't think it existed prior in the same quantity and quality that it does now.

Sonic Mania, Pizza Tower, Celeste, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Super Mario Bros Wonder, and Metroid Dread (most platformer like Metroid game, but not entirely a platformer) are great 2d platformers. Psychonauts 2, A Hat in Time, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and Astro Bot are great 3d platformers.

Point and click is basically a dead genre, there are some smaller titles, and the Ace Attorney series has some point and click elements, but otherwise it's not a genre with a lot of good new games.

holy shit there have been a lot of good butt 2d games in the past decade when you line em up like this. ive played all of them and all of them are a++

Yeah it's crazy. 2010s and onward are way better than the dismal 2000s for 2d platformers. Now if only the point & click and RTS genres could have some good new games...

There's more than you would think. Look up my bro Zombra on the Codex. This guy can recommend many titles from recent times.

A few really weird platformers came out around 2017ish. Ori is really easy and I think was 2014ish? So you may know it but the second games pretty fun, too. Just easy / neat looking.

Why I'm commenting though is to tell you to go play rain world. I could get all straggy and paragraph about why for hours but I'll leave it at this, it's very likely the most complexly coded platformer ever made. The less you know about it before going into it the better, though.

If you're a :mariogoatse:, the current metroid dread game is a direct sequel to the horror one from the early 2000s, prime fusion.

For point and click shit there actually are a few cool games that came out- one is some really short under $5 horror story about a submarine navigating some moons ice ocean of blood called iron lung.

There was also a neat point and click style mystery game that everyone loved recently called return of the Obra Dinn.

And you know what? I'll throw this in with point and click because it basically is- a puzzle game centered around the tower of babbel. You fit together the languages, it's pretty neat. Name is chants of Sinnaar or something.

And to update you on where tf everyone is, we don't really have a shooter leading the pack right now so all the dota and league r-slurs are trying out a new Valve moba called deadlock, shooters are all on valorant or fortnite, base building neighbors are mostly running it back on satisfactory 1.0 update, and there's a few shitter games like lethal company, dead by daylight, phasmophobia, amongus and dale & dawson law supply (which are both just modern iterations of the mafia gamemode) that the rest of random communities are hanging out on right now. Also modded gta V and red dead 2 RP servers are huge now; around 2020 we all got really straggy with eachother as a collective twitch-viewing society and started doing cringe police vs robbers rp on gta. So I guess there's that too.

That, and like a billion r-slurred butt dark souls reimaginings that culminated in one grand title that made every avengers fan soy their panties for like 2 years straight recently. It's ignorable. World of warcraft still hasn't died even though it was dead when you left. Oh, and someone took HL1 and made black mesa into a base builder survival game where you shit on the floor a lot. Abiotic factor. And that about sums it all up since 2015

Cuphead is good, Sonic Mania is good (just stay away from the Sonicstrags), Salt and Sanctuary is basically platforming+dark souls.
