You play as Juan Aguacate, an agave farming, down on his luck luchador in a small Mexican village where wrestling is everything. Except to El Presidente’s daughter, who’s once-childhood friend has now become a burly man thing. Sadly the reunion is cut short by menacing skeletal doom bringer Carlos Calaca and his band of denizens, and the (sorta) first boss fight ends exactly as you’d expect when facing off against the big bad at the start of the game. So after being dumped in the Land of the Dead our hero comes across a magical luchador mask, taking a face turn and springing back into action to save the girl.
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.

Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.
Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.
I highly recommend TimeSpinner. It's on everything now but I played and platinum'd it on PS4. Excellent classic style MV with a cool 'time' element and hidden secrets, bosses, multiple ending/outcomes, etc. 9/10 from me.
