Well, games is a bit of a stretch. I didn’t want to spend all my time talking about individual games from specific series.
The first platformers I wanted to mention was Bloodstained as well as Castlevania. They were made by the same chump. So, I placed them together. Bloodstained is like the more evolved version of Castlevania.
It has a lot of fun boss battles. Cyber shadow is a stand alone game. It is about a ninja robot searching for his girlfriend and the guy who killed him. It has a nice cyberpunk aesthetic.
It reminds me a bit of ShatterHand. Ender Lilies has some of the hardest boss fights in platforming history. It still plays well. Gris is more pretty than hard, but the platforming gets hard close to the end.
Little Samson uses 4 guys. You switch between them to make your way towards the final boss. The actually has the highest damage output, but he is a bit of a glass cannon. Megaman is a lot of fun as well.
Metroid Dread has such a hard and annoying final boss. You need to do a bunch of perfect parries to off the guy. It is a 2D Sekiro in this regards. Ninja Gaiden was good until it jumped into the 3D world.
Super Mario games are always fun regardless of whether it is 2D and 3D. The messenger is another fun ninja game. Totally Rad unlocks all the powers from the start.
It is up to the player to figure out what is useful against what. Valkyrie Profile 2 is a little odd, but amusing. It is 2D, except when you trigger a battle. I think this is about it as far as my nonsense is concerned. I hope you like these game suggestions.
