[@kazaloolovesgames]

Clive n Wrench is the game I'm most excited about.

[@visualsynthetics9882]

Same, 3 more days! Ruffy and the riverside and plucky squire also look promising. Hell pie, psychonauts 2, crash 4, tinykin, and spongebob the Cosmic shake were all great and I'm glad I still have much to look forward to

[@MrAhmedGaming]

There's a lot of great titles in this one, thanks for making this video! I'm particularly excited for Mail Time, Spongebob, Ruffy and the Riverside, The Plucky Squire, and Clive 'N' Wrench.

[@YourFriendJacob]

Hey thanks for checking out the video! This is my favorite genre largely due to it being what I grew up on for the most part and I'm just so happy that indie devs have taken the genre and really lifted it up. I've had Clive 'N' Wrench on my wishlist for years and The Plucky Squire along with Ruffy are really adding some unique spins to the genre with their signature mechanics. There are even more games like BUN that might come out this year as well that I'm looking forward to so the genre is still pretty strong and that's a great thing to see!

[@NumskullGames]

Big thanks for the Clive 'N' Wrench shout out!

[@YourFriendJacob]

Clive 'N' Wrench might have the record for the most mentions of any game on my channel if you count me rambling about it on my podcast haha. I've been such a huge fan of the dev and I'm so happy that it's almost here! Best of luck with the upcoming launch and I'll make sure to spread the word when it's out!

[@Bolt-Bot_NEW_3D_Platformer]

Thank you for showing Bolt Bot Screwy Viruses :)

[@YourFriendJacob]

I'm happy to spread the word! Best of luck with the upcoming Early Access launch!

[@Bolt-Bot_NEW_3D_Platformer]

@@YourFriendJacob Thanks :)

[@Chepo90]

When i see the trailer of The Plucky Squire some time ago, blew me away!. Seems so incredible 😍

[@YourFriendJacob]

The first time I saw that trailer it was a definite "WOAH" moment for me. I'm so ready to check it out and hopefully I'll review it as well!

[@redrumster1]

Great video! Platformers are becoming harder to find! I found some I didn't know about in this video! Thanks! :)

[@YourFriendJacob]

Thanks! I'm always happy to highlight platformers on this channel! The more of them I can get and talk about the better haha.

[@johndowdy8085]

Clive looks really cool and Super Adventure Hand..will be checking it out..huge fan off platformers and already have new SpongeBob game for Xbox one and loving it, looks like I will be playing 2 new platformers on my PS5 in coming weeks nice...thanks for sharing

[@Dsuranix]

i have yet to see a game that inspires me more in the last 10 years than just a trailer or two of ruffy. that art style flings me right back to my childhood. can't wait to get that one. reminds me a LOT of the tomba games.

[@Whatthetrash]

Looking forward to Clive and Wrench! Looks so good! Also, Tinykin was in my short list for Game of the Year last year, so it's good to see that game highlighted here. What's better than a good platformer? Not much, tell ya that much. ^_^

[@YourFriendJacob]

I completely agree! Tinykin was awesome! I reviewed it and included it in my top indie games of the year video as well as giving it an award during our awards show and I really hope more people play it. That game was such a joy to play from beginning to end and I'm happy to see that development team do a 3D platformer after having a lot of experience in the 2D platformer space.

[@craggl0rd]

Rise of Fox Hero looks like what PS1's Kingsley's Adventure would look like if it were to be released today. Looking forward to most of these. Great video, a lot I didn't know were in the works. Cheers!

[@YourFriendJacob]

Thanks for checking out the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@zockrateslaboratories]

Thanks for including Ruffy and the Riverside! We got a new trailer our channel!

[@YourFriendJacob]

The new trailer looks great!

[@Jahi_144]

Cant wait for the Plucky Squire, looks really fun and unique

[@YourFriendJacob]

Absolutely! I'm hoping I can get a chance to review that one but even if I don't I'm still picking it up day one!

[@zachgoodrich6100]

I'm looking out on The Plucky Squire since the publisher in Devolver Digital made some games I like in the rebooted Shadow Warrior trilogy and Evil West. I like the fact that the style of multiple genre gameplay altering between different styles depend and what object in what world you get ported to thus 2D and 3D switching along with side scrolling and top down. Also traditional platforming as well as side mini games from other genres from inspirations of different games from different subgenres in one unique and creative idea for a fresh IP of a platform done by a AA publisher who made other games I enjoyed that I forementioned earlier in the comment. Nice list you have there!

[@Kotsoros37]

Wow these all look amazing, thank you so much for making me aware of them! I love 3d platformers haha

[@YourFriendJacob]

I always love talking about 3D Platformers on this channel! Thanks for checking out the video - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@GamingMyWholeLife]

Nice collection!!

[@YourFriendJacob]

Thanks!

[@glimmeringharpy]

Awesome list! Just subscribed ☺️

[@YourFriendJacob]

Thank you so much for checking out the video and for subscribing - I really appreciate it! I just checked out your channel as well and I'll definitely have to check out a live stream soon. Also shout-out to you for playing Lil' Gator Game, that was one of my favorite indie games from last year!

[@Mathroy]

Thanks for the video!! I get so much joy and nostalgia from 3D Platformers :) Have you seen Cavern of Dreams on Steam? I looks like a love letter to N64 era platformers.

[@YourFriendJacob]

Yea I checked out the demo when it was up and I had a great time! I'm glad they found a publisher in Super Rare Originals and we won't have to wait too much longer with it launching in October!

[@MintCity]

A solid lineup for this year 👀

[@YourFriendJacob]

Definitely! There are even a few without 2023 release dates but probably will be out this year like BUN that look really great as well. The genre's still pretty strong!

[@italiener82]

The Plucky Squire looks incredible!

[@mralawadi9425]

I played blue fire it’s very good challenging game we need platform like this

[@Babiigirlhanh]

So MANY AMAZING GAMES! I can’t decide which I like the most but i am super excited for spongebob since I loved playing battle for bikini bottom rehydrated!

[@YourFriendJacob]

That game really surprised me in terms of its quality and how well optimized it was. Having that same team go from a remake/remaster to a brand new game is pretty exciting!

[@lexiedgrooms5361]

It's on my wish list

[@slingshotdon]

Pluckys squire looking good

[@TheCrawl]

Some really charming picks in here! The Plucky Squire is high on my list.

[@YourFriendJacob]

Same here The Plucky Squire looks awesome and Devolver is going to have a somewhat sneaky great year I think. Pepper Grinder, The Plucky Squire, Wizard with a Gun, Skate Story, Gunbrella, Terra Nil, that's not even all of what they have for this year and I'm excited for all of them!

[@wesmyone9562]

The Plucky Squire takes the cake, but there were more interesting titles than I knew of🤔

[@TaDPoLe35]

Cannot wait for the plucky squire!

[@YourFriendJacob]

100%! I love games that employ different perspectives like that from 2D levels in Mario Odyssey to the recent crop of 3D platformers with 2D sprites and I'm a Super Paper Mario apologist so The Plucky Squire looks right up my alley.

[@dataimpact]

how come in ur 2022 video you have the exact same script for the games you covered in both videos?

[@ChazMcRich1]

I was so sad with how Clive n wrench turned out :( I was really excited, but it just feels bad to play. It’s floaty and the jumps don’t always work.

[@chaosordeal294]

I wish there were more people here to help us decide how to use our last two wishes.

[@PossessedGR]

There was a 3D platformer that was released some months ago on Epic store and I can't find the name now. It had a female protagonist and vibrant scenery and bosses. It was not Kena, does it ring a bell to anyone, please?

[@geoffreychauvin1474]

I can just hear glover saying "Am i a joke to you?"

[@YourFriendJacob]

We need some kind of Super Adventure Hand / Glover crossover lol

[@MaybeTiberius]

super adventure hand is literally glover

[@lexiedgrooms5361]

Hopefully they'll make a Scooby-Doo game I would like to see it return to ps4

[@YourFriendJacob]

A Scooby-Doo game would be pretty cool. There was recently a Smurfs game that released out of nowhere so anything's possible!

[@tr1co0]

Appreciate you covering this topic! One bit of feedback, your vocal delivery is hard to sit through because of how sing-songy/news reporter-ish it is. I would consider dropping that or at least toning it down.

[@pietroba2037]

great video. Pingo, the foxx, Sponge bob and Clive'n'Wrench are my favorites

[@YourFriendJacob]

Thanks! Yea I'm excited for all of those and it's cool that many of them are releasing so soon.

[@thewolfgamer144]

in super adventure hand the hand i'ts looks like thing from addams family

[@aaronatkinson177]

A lot of creative games 😍👍

[@YourFriendJacob]

Absolutely!

[@mikelisagor5970]

Are any of these coming to the Switch besides Clive and Wrench and SpongeBob?

[@YourFriendJacob]

Most of these should come to the Switch but have not been officially announced yet. The Plucky Squire will for sure and Mail Time looks like it also will release on Switch as well. We'll likely know more when their release dates are announced.

[@mikelisagor5970]

@@YourFriendJacob thank you!

[@p6t857]

Ruffy and the Riverside isn't a 3d platformer I commented is this a platformer on the trailer and they responded its a zelda like adventure game

[@YourFriendJacob]

That's good to know. Might have shifted direction a bit with the latest trailer since up until then it was marketed as a 3D platformer and listed as such on Steam. There was a long period of silence between the older and newest trailer so they might have made it less platformy to make room for more of the swap mechanic. That's fine though. As a fan of the genre I look at it and still feel like fans of the genre will still probably enjoy it.

[@p6t857]

@@YourFriendJacob yeah it looks great is it comming to ps5 or only switch and steam

[@YourFriendJacob]

@@p6t857 They recently said it would be coming to consoles and Steam but tagged PS5, Switch, and XBOX in the post. Not a definitive answer but that's somewhat encouraging.

[@TooToo246]

Hey, you forgot Penny's Big Breakaway 😢

[@YourFriendJacob]

Unfortunately that hadn't been announced yet at the time of writing/releasing this video. I'm really excited to check it out though. It looks really good!

[@NintenfanPlays]

l am currently work on my own indie 3d game.

[@YourFriendJacob]

Same (though that's a fun little secret for whoever reads this reply haha)

[@asadrandolph7265]

I am excited for SpongeBob SquarePants the cosmic shake

[@YourFriendJacob]

Same here! I enjoyed their most recent game in the series so if they build off of that foundation it should be pretty sweet!

[@asadrandolph7265]

@@YourFriendJacob this game will be very good

[@Ray.M.12345]

Freaking miss Jak&Daxter and Sly Cooper....

[@84bombsjetpack23]

From my experience 3D platformers from smaller studios are mostly unplayable. Yeah you heard that right. Hard for me to trust these games unless I see overwhelming positive reviews.

[@LordTchernobog]

Nr 1 is like: fans: "Can we have a new Banjo Kazooie? Rare: "I wish..." Microsoft: "Bruh. Who plays with 3D platformers anyway?" Indie devs: "Fine! We're make our Banjo-Kazooie! With rabbits and monkeys! A chameleon and a bat: "Wait, that's..." Fans: "Oh, shut up. Both of you"

[@HieuNguyen-zf3ie]

Is the pingo adventure on nentindo?

[@YourFriendJacob]

It will release later this year on PC and I'm not sure when it will release on consoles but I hope it does. Hopefully if the launch goes well we will see it on the Switch at some point!
