Kiki: A Vibrant 3D Platformer (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Kiki may be vibrant, but it’s still a pretty bare bones 3D platformer.  View the action in first person perspective as you jump over pits, avoid obstacles like sawblades, and collect stars and trophies as you make your way to the exit.  Kiki is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Aero the Acro-Bat 2 (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S)

About a month or so ago I reviewed a re-release of Aero the Acro-Bat, a 16-bit 2D mascot platformer.  I rented the game back in the day and honestly didn’t like it very much.  But I was glad to be able to review it again because I’m always willing to give a game a second chance.  Unfortunately, since I didn’t like the game when I first played it, I never bothered with the sequels and spinoffs so I never got a chance to see how they may have improved.  So I’m glad I got a chance to try Aero the Acro-Bat 2.  In the game, Aero finds a magician’s box that transports him to all sorts of different worlds and it’s up to him to save the day again in new environments.  I believe this re-release is still the SNES version, and it’s available on all current consoles but reviewed on Switch here.

Mining Mechs (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Drive robot mechs underground as you search for treasure in Mining Mechs.  It’s a 2D action adventure game and kind of reminds me of Steamworld Dig mixed with elements of Terraria.  It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
