could you explain what you mean? |
I will try.
For me what makes a platformer great is the humor. Because nowdays the deveoper have already the "perfect" platforming mechanics figured out. I mean of course there are some crappy exceptions. But every self respecting developer knows how to make a good jumoing mechanic. There is no doubt about that. But the difference between platformers is the style. For example a game like Battleblock Theater isn´t that special if you break it down to its core mechanics. It could be called a generic 2D platformer if it wasn´t for the humor which is one of the best I have ever experienced in a game. And almost every modern platformer is built around comedy and an unique art style.
I don´t mean this in a negative way. I hope you understand what I mean
