Hardcore Gamer: While there was a noticeable lack of AAA releases, there were some fine indie releases and JRPGs that grabbed even the most pessimistic gamer’s attention. After all, how could you hate a luchador with Donkey Kong references, brah? There was also some Schatz! Schatz! Schatz! Schatz-Schatz! in action and a certain square headed character with an evil hat and cat guards at his disposal.
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out

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.
What a joke....
laughable....
