Please recommend good Cinematic Platformers (games like Blackthorne and Abe's Oddysee)

Basically what the title says, I got a taste of the genre and want recommendations. Extra points if it has extremely janky yet profoundly charming movement

 

[Eclipse14]

Heart of Darkness for the PlayStation.

 

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

Heart of darkness just be aware, it's difficult and very enraging

 

[Zerohour2k12]

Never Alone, Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons,The Little Nigtmares Series, Neverhood and Forgotton Anne are some I can think of.

 

[Clippy]

Flashback Quest for Identity and Prince of Persia.

 

[Hel]

the granddaddy of them all: Dark Castle

 

[Rei de Nada]

Another World and Heart of the Alien.

 

[beowulf848]

Nosferatu on SNES

 

[Smyth200788]

Blasphemous

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Earnest Evans for Sega Genesis if only to bust out laughing.

 

[wizardofcoz4126]

Ico

 

[Antilocal123]

Super Lesbian Animal RPG.

 

[Neb Lleb]

Flashback. Such a classic game.

 

[Jacko the Lantern]

Blasphemous

I second this!
Blasphemous is a really good metroidvania.
Blasphemous 2 might be one of my favorite games released this decade.

That game looks like if a fetus who somehow earned the most superficial knowledge about earth tried to make a game. 10/10::fire

If you want to play something really bad you can give Zorro by Capstone a go. Yes, it's the same Capstone that's known for the crappy FPS games they made in the 90s like TekWar or Corridor 7.
