Brings what grabs you about Guacamelee!: jumping and platforming, a dense, handcrafted world as well as interconnected level design.

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A hand-painted Metroidvania with fast, combo-heavy combat, where the amnesiac warrior Dust explores a storybook world alongside his talking sword and companion Fidget. Big combos against crowds of enemies and a charming story drive the experience.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero

Lots of humour

A charming 2.5D platformer where half-genie Shantae uses her hair whip and dance transformations to move through hand-animated stages. Lots of humor, bright cartoon visuals and ability-gated exploration define the experience.

The Messenger

Strong soundtrack

A ninja platformer that begins as an 8-bit romp and, through time travel, opens up into a 16-bit Metroidvania full of deadpan humor. Precise sword fighting and the satisfying cloudstep mid-air jump make movement a joy.

Rayman Legends

Strong soundtrack

A wonderfully fluid 2D platformer with a hand-drawn look, where jumps and attacks feel almost choreographed. The music-driven rhythm levels are especially famous, and it is great fun in co-op too.

Donkey Kong Bananza

Dense, handcrafted world

A 3D platformer where DK punches, tears and tunnels through almost entirely destructible underground layers, with hidden bananas rewarding every bit of curiosity. Playful, chaotic and charming, with Pauline's singing and transforming Bananza forms adding flair.

Rayman Origins

Playing together in co-op

A gorgeously hand-drawn 2D platformer bursting with zany humor, tight jumping challenges and frantic treasure-chase levels, playable with up to four friends in chaotic local co-op. It gets seriously demanding in its later stages.
