Thanks! I guess I'll quickly finish the second and try the third.
3D Platformers—even mediocre ones—trigger a warm, nostalgic feeling within me
- Thread starter ScOULaris
- Start date
Pac Man World 2 probably, that's one of my favorite games ever.
I'm this way more towards 16 bit platformers (Or those that can imitate that artstyle) but man when a great platformer comes along it's usually a heck of a great time.
Regrettably when I was younger I never played Spyro outside of a demo of the first game, will be getting the Spyro collection at some point so that can be remedied somewhat.
However, there's something but when 3d platformers started to come into their own in the PS1/N64 era that I love, from the wonky voice acting, warping textures ack of draw distance, and just how it all looked. That's something that I don't want to see in games nowadays, but it's an important part of gaming history.

Beware tho, with the reiginited versions, it's definitely the buggiest and some of the controls make absolutely no sense, but imo the core gameplay design's better than the second one. Still good games overall. Enjoy!
That sounds both pretty cool and kinda boring. Lol. Thank you for answering my question.
Yeah, I get this feeling too with anything with pixel art, especially with 16bit pixel art which gives me the fuzzies. Lol. Beat em ups also make me feel this way. I'm a total sucker for the genre and enjoy even the shitty ones.
thread reminds me I should play yooka laylee at some point, seeing as I was a kickstarter contributor.
My favourite genre by some margin.
Having bought Yooka Laylee on ps4 when it was first released and being disappointed by it, I picked it up again on Steam (along with the Impossible Lair) over Xmas and have had a lot of fun with it.
Also being able to run it at 1440p and 120hz makes it much nicer to play in general.
I also picked up A Hat In Time, which has potential but hasn't been so compelling for me
