Why is it always a fucking platformer

>wall jumping and airdashing over endless walls of spikes
Literally every indie game ever

i love hollow knight but its not the postgame challanges that makes it good

...is that supposed to be a difficult section or something?

Undertale
Super meat boy
Celeste
Untitled goose game

It literally isn't.

Woah dude imagine how many times you have to practice that section to post that epic webm! Git gud xDDD!

name 5

True. Good level design is something that most indies still struggle with. They either go with "spikes everywhere xD" or just procedurally generated.

excepting SMB, solid counterpoints
although, this post is 'things that never happened'

This.

All of those are underrated, though.

This, it's such a tired trope at this rate. Only way these pea brain indie devs can design "challenge" levels.

Should I try this out?

Cope.

>Durr my shitty indie isnt overrated because CHALLENGE!!!
Hollowkeks are so fucking pitiful

super mario 3D land was possibly the piss easiest platformer I have ever played in my entire life. I mean actual 2 year olds can play that game and finish it. I finished the entire thing without dying a single on my first playthrough. hell I don't think I even got hit once it was boring me to tears

Everyone praises the art and "atmosphere" for this game, but I really dont like it.
Reminds me of a badly made newgrounds platformer.

Celeste

>Reminds me of a badly made newgrounds platformer.
The best part is that HK really did originate as a shitty newgrounds game

This looks really dishonest

Is there a more emotionally dishonest game than Hollow Knight?
Hard mode: No Nier: Automata.

>DUDE SAWBLADES
If you really wanna impress someone post a webm of your Pantheon of Hallownes clear.
O wait you can't because ur a shitter.

>super mario 3D land was possibly the piss easiest platformer I have ever played in my entire life. I mean actual 2 year olds can play that game and finish it.
Did you play the special levels? Because they fuck you hardcore in your ass

No one said anything about difficulty

Why, did you think it was hard? Pussy

Play Battle Brothers, brother

>emotionally dishonest
The hell does that even mean?

Just another zoomer buzzword, ignore that retard.

Eliciting certain emotions through manipulative and contrived methods.

First of all, this design is for precision platformers (Celeste, Super meat boy, End is Nigh, etc), which is obviously not in all games
Secondly, this is not as widespread as you may expect, as many precision platformers rely on timing, gimmicks and even randomness
Thirdly, this isnt bad design. Precision platformers are created not for approaches to jumps, but more for execution of jumps. With this design, they achieve their goals extremely well.

God I loved the Path of Pain
Felt so good to finish it

Ori was like this too for most of it, and it's not a meme "precision" platformer (like the fuck does that even mean lol).

celeste
super meet boy
blasphemous
death cells
bastion
shovel knight
axiom verge
downwell

>like what the fuck does that even mean lol
he literally gave you 3 examples (4 if you count the game we're discussing)

And it does that how?

>axiom verge
>walljump

Did you just literally list random shit? Only the first two could qualify for this topic.

He literally didn't.

>Celeste, Super Meat Boy, End is Nigh, etc

>baby's first metroidvania
