Adventure Pals has a wacky sense of humor that you will love right from the beginning. The platforming is well done, but a little on the easy side. Despite the ease, Adventure Pals is a wonderful platformer with many collectibles to find and crazy characters to meet and help.
Far Cry 5 covers the majority of what you can expect in the series - chaotic gameplay, loads of content, and memorable antagonists.

Remember that patience is a must in Escapists 2, and it will be frustrating if a simple mistake wipes out your hard work.
A Hat in Time is one of the better Kickstarter platformers that have come out to date. The world is colorful and full of areas to explore.

Overall, this is a platformer that you don't want to miss!

Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days is a frustrating experience with little else to help make it stand out among other heist games. At this point, it might be time to just let Reservoir Dogs be a classic movie instead of a gaming franchise.
Portal Knights may not have been the first of it's kind, but it does a lot of great things. The enemies are challenging, you can craft a lot of items, and it is really fun with friends. Some may be turned off by the long loading times and the grind to level up. But at $19.99, there is a ton of value in this game and it is very entertaining. Portal Knights gives you something that is lacking in Minecraft - it gives you a clear purpose and goals as you play.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is everything an HD remake should be. The game itself was given an amazing face lift and the animation looks incredible. The platforming gameplay is the same as the original game, to a fault. The basic platforming and enemies can be a little boring at times.
