Console Games of the Year Day 14 – Best Platformer

Spread the love
OMG
Over the month of January, the OMG crew will be releasing polls for our community to vote on their favourite console games of 2020. These games have been nominated, categorised and discussed by those behind the scenes here. We do acknowledge that everyone’s favourite 2020 games may not be on our lists, as unfortunately we are not able to play and review every game that comes to console. This is a bit of fun and chance for you to win prizes.
 
Many of these Games of the Year posts will come with a chance for you to win some loot such as Cyberpunk 2077, Fifa 21, a year of Xbox GamePass and more.

To win this loot is simple:-

  • Vote via the poll and comment at the bottom of this article with the game you voted for and with your first name and initial of surname. (This is to help with bonus entries)
  • You can get bonus entries by voting each day and liking our category posts on Facebook, Twitter and sharing them BUT you must vote.
  • That’s a total of 5 chances for each prize. Winners will be announced 7 days after the polls go live via the website and posts on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

We are giving away a code for Fury Unleashed on Xbox, compatible with Xbox One and updated for Xbox Series X|S. This prize is only open to Australian and New Zealand residents.

To be in the running vote and comment below.


Best Platformer

Rules: These are games must have platforming as a major aspect of gameplay.


AstroBot – PS5

Astro’s Playroom is a perfect package to highlight what the impressive DualSense controller can do. It is also a responsive and entertaining platform adventure. The PlayStation history lesson Astro’s Playroom provides with its collectables and easter eggs will pull on the sentimental heart strings of the more innocent times of growing up. Astro’s Playroom is pre-installed on all PlayStation 5 consoles and should be played through once by all owners of this new console. Click here for our full review.


Crash Bandicoot It’s About Time – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

Crash Bandicoot It’s About Time a great all-around good time for young and old alike. The new characters, new level designs, quantum mask mechanics, boss level designs and difficulty along with the alternate timelines and additional multiplayer content allow for hours on hours of fun for the whole family to enjoy. For our full review, click here.


New Super Lucky’s Tale – PS4, Switch and Xbox One

New Super Lucky’s Tale is a title for kids and big kids alike.  It has it all, great platforming with tight controls, a beautiful visual design, amazing sound, lots of level variations and tonnes of extra add ons. As a mascot, Lucky has a long way to catch Crash, Sonic and Mario but he had made a closer step towards them.

Ori and Will of the Wisps – Xbox One and Series X|S, Switch

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is the definition of a sequel that succeeds, taking a formula that worked and expanding it in a way that enhances the overall experience. The execution of the new gameplay mechanics is seamlessly integrated via simple tutorials that don’t restrict the accessibility. Raising the bar in a genre as popular and established as platforming is no small feat but it is one that Ori and the Will of the Wisps has masterfully accomplished. Click here for our full review.


Sackboy: A Big Adventure – PS4|5

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is an accessible title that will scratch any platforming gamer’s itch. The controls are responsive and deaths never feel cheap. Even though levels seem a little dull to begin with, the game really ramps it up with some of the best platforming level design this reviewer has played. While the collectibles will keep some gamers glued for a while to come, the ease of this title is disappointing. Overall, Sackboy: A Big Adventure gets gamers together, while the online mode is not yet available, it will put family and friends on the same couch enjoying some wholesome platforming action.

    For me this was a tough one between Crash and Ori, but had to go Ori in the end
