Top 20 Most Beautiful Platform Games

[@_kovu_]

"ORI" series is the most beautiful game I have ever seen. Amazing game. 😀

[@Nice_Boat]

Great music too....and lots of emotions

[@_kovu_]

@@Nice_Boat Composer Gareth Cooker has performed amazing music. In my opinion, this is the best music for video games 🙂

[@Elenyen]

You are absolutly right!

There's something magical about 2d, hand drawn games; they have a magic, wholesome feel, like a moment in time, captured and made with love and care.

[@mattpenix8438]

For sure! Feel like I am drawn to so many of these games just due to art alone.

[@orangutanmatter]

Absolutely, hand drawn games, they have wholesome feel,! Feel free to check out Unleaving; it's a hand-painted and drawn platformer.

[@stevemeters3090]

Nothing beats hand-drawn games. But games with a distinct and personal art style also give me that same feeling of awe and joy.

[@sarahrupert5320]

Well said. 🙌🏼

[@allanshpeley4284]

I couldn't disagree more. And I can't wait until this trend dies off. Same with pixel art games.

[@Roland807]

At the first note of Gareth Coker's Ori soundtrack, I have tears in my eyes. Absolute masterpiece. The game and the music.

[@rudolfscheurer8348]

Ori and Hollow Knight are absolute Masterpieces! 🍀

[@germanandres24]

Hollow Knight is way better than Ori, Ori controls are awful.

A did hold my breath until the last game... and thankfully, you did choose wisley: Ori and Blind Forest AND Ori and the Will of the Wisps are the most beautiful games (not only platformer!), I have ever seen. And I played more than 10.000 games in nearly 40 years!

[@MisoSanSoup]

My heart is so happy to see SpiritFarer first thing on the list. I highly highly recommend this game if you want to experience something that will leave a mark in your heart forever.

[@khalidrabbi4338]

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a masterpiece in terms of both its enchanting world atmosphere and its mesmerizing music. Gareth Coker, the brilliant composer behind the game’s soundtrack, has woven magic into every note.

[@joshuatheargonaut4412]

These games are works of art. Some of these games are what I would show someone who’s never played a game to show how far the medium has come. They can tell beautiful, wonderful and sometimes sad stories they we can all relate to as human beings. For instance I’m at the end of of Spiritfarer and I’m not ready for it to end. I have a good idea of how it ends and I know it’ll break me down emotionally. These kinds of games are good for the soul.

[@Mystique-Dreams]

I admit these are beautiful, but when one reaches a certain age, and has gain many experiences in life, he/she starts looking for games which are fun, and uplifting... Ori is a masterpiece, and yet I felt very lonely, and sad... so I stopped playing, and replayed Rayman, or DK...

[@권용대-b5v]

I’m glad for RiME included in this list. Not only visually, but also musically and emotionally beautiful game.

[@matijamaksan4344]

Yes, i loved Ori from first 5 seconds. Visuals plus music got me in 2015 with Blind Forest.

[@HeyDropthat]

I remember playing the original with my old neighbor's then five year old kid that first five or so minutes: we laughed, we cried, we cranked up the visuals

[@germanandres24]

Ori is overrated, play Hollow Knight and you will see how beautiful a game can be.

[@matijamaksan4344]

@@germanandres24 Ori and the Blind Forest is my 3rd favourite game ever and Hollow knight is my 6th. I played both. Only thing i didn't do in Hollow Knight was Absolute Radiance. Even if Hollow Knight has much more to do than Ori and even if Hollow Knights combats is way above Ori i love Ori more.

[@germanandres24]

@@matijamaksan4344 Ori controls are just awful and for me good controls are a very important part of a video game, Hollow Knight controls are PERFECT.

[@matijamaksan4344]

@@germanandres24 You are delusional if you say Ori controls are worse than Hollow Knight. Mobility and platforming in Ori is much more important, so controls are top. We cannot be friends.

[@I_Main_The_Lead]

It makes me so happy to see Raji: An ancient epic get recognition and mention because to make it the lead Dev had even took a loan against her house or sold it.. the situation wasn't very good. But the game came out as beautiful and a very sweet experience

[@I_Main_The_Lead]

Raji can now be played on mobile phones too if you have netflix.

[@S_y_r_a_x]

Спасибо! Открыл для себя много новых игр. The Last Campfire уже играл - это потрясающе! Просто до слёз...

[@razjelgames6749]

Ori - best gamę ever. And that music 😍

[@icewolfwarrior4798]

Haven't played a lot of games overall, but Ori.............. Ori will always hold a special place in my heart. Right from the beginning, it had me hooked on its breathtaking graphics and intriguing gameplay, and don't get me started on the story. Easily had me tearing up--- more than once. Beautiful, beautiful game and fantastic soundtrack. I actually found the soundtrack first and fell so in love with it I was determined to buy the game. I'm so glad it made this list--- although it's hardly surprising.

[@JunkSingalongJunk]

I love games with this kind of atmosphere. I had no idea there were so many of them. Thank you for letting me know.

[@ЕвгенийОтт-ы9е]

Проделана отличная работа и все игры, показанные в видео, достойны называться "красивыми представителями платформер-жанра". Спасибо за видео.

[@vishmaster8543]

Из всех представленных игр я игал в Rime и Ori и скажу, что это просто потрясающие сказочные игры, способные погрузить своей отмасферой в свой мир и историю с увлекательным геймплеем.

[@Dmitrii_88]

@@vishmaster8543 Я играл в Ори на компе и не понимаю, как можно на клаве играть в неё. Очень неудобно ! Ещё и комп тупил, хотя видяха 730m и оперативки 16 гигов и i7. Для этой игры - выше крыши, а толку !(( Первые минут 5 норм, потом будто перегревался ноут. Жесть !

[@vishmaster8543]

@@Dmitrii_88 да нормально - я привыкал к клаве и было ок. Играл в обе части, Думаю, что ваша видюха на ноуте имеет слабую производительность - от сюда и проблемы. К сожалению многие ноуты не подходят для современных игр, если они конечно не топовые и не игровые.

[@LadyLaddy]

Very good list, I played almost every title and can especially recommend HOB. That was the surprise of the year for me at the time. Not all titles are classic platformers, but each one is unique in its own way.

[@bog_gremlin2575]

Some of these games, like Child Of Light are on PS3 as well. :) Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will o the Wisps are also utterly stunning games, from the music to the scenery.

[@Fraxzor]

I played Child Of Light on the Vita, also not mentioned

[@PereVS23]

There's a special place in my heart for Child of Light

[@FluenserFlus]

do you know anything about the muller-powell ?

[@timepassesbye]

the whole time waiting to see where Ori ranked on this list. When i saw hollow knight, i knew ori couldn't be far away. absolutely stunning game visually, musically, and mildly traumatizing with the story.

[@stevemeters3090]

The Trine series, imo, can not be beat. I am absolutely in love with it. The art, environments, level design, and character skills all bring such joy. And then solving a particularly tricky "puzzle" or finding a really well hidden item makes me feel really good. Plus the music is gorgeous.

[@jean-pierrechapoteau1556]

My sons and I have fell in love with Trine. It's all they talk about. We play games on the weekend, and Trine is a really big deal, haha. We beat Trine 4, and now are on 5. Castle Crashers is another good couch co-op.

[@stevemeters3090]

@jean-pierrechapoteau1556 my nephews and I are in the process of unlocking all 30 characters in Castle Crashers. Awesome game. The company that makes it just released another game that's all about the alien(s) from Castle Crashers, but it's only on X-Box. Nice to hear someone else enjoys Trine as much as I do. Did you find the secret room in Trine 4?

[@batmac2409]

Thank you for the video. Some uploaders just talks and talks. Love this video because there is no narrative just all visual!

[@escapeundergroundgame]

💨Ori and 🧙Trine series are my favorites! They are fantastic! There are other cool ones in these list like Hollow Knight, SteamWorld Dig 2... but it depends on everyone's tastes ❤.

[@anoopsarkar6744]

Ori is the game that I will never forget in my lifetime. Metro last light is such another game which I wont forget ever.

[@starpop409]

Ori will of the wisp is one of my favorite games of all time. It was confusing at 1st but once you get past the 1st area it's amazing

[@iamkenignacio]

The Ori series is the first platforming game that I really enjoyed playing. It's sooo good. Looking forward to playing it again in the near future.

Hej! Thanks for that! I’ve seen a few that I’m now interested in getting! I’m in the very lucky position that I already have a couple of the games you showed on here (always in the sales mind!) but I could always use a few more to keep myself busy! 🎉😊

[@rizzbod]

I have started playing these kind of platformer games from legendary ORI series, then i moved onto GUACAMELEE series and now looking forward to these games.

[@Baekstrom]

You can find a lot of videos of people crying their eyes out over the ending of Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It is not only beautiful, it is wonderful in every single way. Probably my favorite game of all time!

[@lily3323]

I think people should play ori and the blind forest before the will of the wisps because the one in the video is a sequel

[@Verdis80]

Really awesome showcase of very beauiful games! Thanks for curating! Would have liked to have seen Subnautica in there as a personal favourite :) Also maybe a bit of diversity in terms of 'beautiful' as most of these were just variations on the 'Ori and the Blind Forest'-style. Just a minor critique

[@bonaknfriends477]

I already finished: omno, the last campfire, ori, hollow knight, unravel and trine 4. And these games are my recommendation if you loved adventure, puzzle, challenge... This ia the best for you...

For Trine 4 you can invite ur friends to join the game... It has max 4 players
