The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!

I’ve finally caved and paid 50 euros for a second hand copy of Astro Bot on PS5, and it is absolutely incredible. I know this game is only available to PS5 players, so I broadened the topic…

Let’s discuss your favorite Platformers. What is your favorite game or series? What do you love about these games? Are there things you don’t like about the genre? Feel free to share anything that comes up and react to other comments. Let’s get the conversation going!

If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

    You gotta try Mega Man. And if that doesn’t do anything for you, try Mega Man X or Zero. I love all of them, but X7 and X8 were my leas favourite.

    Personally, I like them because of the art style, the music, and the challenge.

      I’m currently downloading Mega Man Legacy Collection on my 2DS. Any tips for a complete newcomer to the series? I know that you have different stages, each with a different boss, and that you are allowed to do them in any order. You receive powerups from the bosses you’ve defeated right?

      Maybe a recommended order for the first game?

      Thanks for the suggestion!
