I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!
Along these lines I’ve already played:
Shovel Knight
Celeste
The Messenger
Hollow Knight (well, in terms of the difficulty not the music)
Does anyone know of any I’ve missed? They don’t necessarily have to be modern indie games - old NES/SNES games for example. SMB3 and SMW are classics.
If you haven’t played SOTN, I highly recommend you take a pitstop from platformers and try it now. I just played and beat it for the first time last week and it’s great.
And if you never played it, boy, you’re in for a real treat. There’s so, so, SO MUCH to explore in there! Also, getting something akin to a 100% will definitely take longer if you don’t look into guides.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Have you played La-Mulana or the sequel?
It’s full of insane puzzles and traps, but it’s a great metroidvania with some great music. It’s one of my all time favorites.
I’ve heard of that series but never tried it. Actually the trailer reminded me a bit of Castlevania SOTN - which is another one I really should play!

Reasons for my suggestion:
Hah, all excellent points. I think I may need to play SOTN and the original Resident Evil this month for the spookiness.
