“Shakedown: Hawaii fuses open world action and empire building. Build a "legitimate" corporation by completing open world missions, acquiring businesses, sabotaging competitors, "re-zoning" land, and shaking down shops for protection money. You are the CEO, and questionable subsidiaries, hidden service fees, misleading ads, and fine print are your super power.”

Release: May 7th 2019 (Switch, PS4, Vita, PC)

I’ve just created a new compilation video which shows 120 Notable Platformers that were released in 2018. It features a wide variety of platformer subgenres thus you will see traditional platformers, hardcore platformers, platform shooters, platform fighters, puzzle platformers, action adventure platformers, and more…

A YouTube playlist with trailers for all 120 games can be found here. 

Note: Some platformers were originally released in 2017 or earlier and then re-released in 2018 (Switch release. Special Edition etc.). In those cases the original release dates are shown in brackets in the lower right corner.

Below is a list with all shown games (plus links to the related twitter accounts)
