Ape Escape

Lots to discover

A classic 3D platformer where you chase escaped apes across different time periods using gadgets like a net and radar. Its dual analog stick controls were groundbreaking and give the game a lot of charm.

Freedom Planet

Sci-fi setting

A fast 2D platformer in the Sonic tradition with real combat, where dragon girl Lilac and her friends fight an alien invasion. Each character plays differently, backed by colorful stages, big boss fights and a strong soundtrack.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

A classic 3D platformer where Crash spins, slides and jumps through varied linear stages, smashing crates and collecting crystals for a supposedly reformed Dr. Cortex. Hidden gems, secret paths and tight timing challenges give it lasting appeal, wrapped in a colorful, slapstick cartoon style.
