Ori and the Blind Forest is great, looks beautiful, lovely music, plenty of variety in moves, and it's bloody hard!

Second this. At first it was fairly simple, but 3 hours into it and you'll be pulling your hair out.

After seeing a couple of rayman legends recommendations i downloaded the demo to check it out, not played a platformer since.....probably superfrog (yes I know theres a HD version). However my xbox 360 pad doesnt seem to work in the demo, even tho in the controls it says things like analogue stick up/down, is there a setting I've missed or does this game just not work with joypad?

Rad Rodgers: World One

I would get Rayman on the Wii U its the best version.

unravelled from origin is a wicked game, I love it

Plot twist - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Wow, that brings back some good memories.

Trine 2?

Rayman Origins/Legends and Oddworld: New'n'tasty.

However, I strongly recommend Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc if you don't mind older games. The atmosphere and level design in those games is simply beautiful, they're even better than Origins/Legends and still my favourite platformers.

If you get that latest humble bundle you may spoilt for choice

I still think psychonauts is great game. It might be old but still one I play every now and again.

This was my favourite until I played Ratchet & Clank on the PS4

Alice: Madness Returns is a decent platformer and bit darker than your standard 'cartoony' platform game.

Which one's that?

Xbox 360 controller should work fine in Rayman Legends, might be the demo playing up.

$30 for $600 worth of games, all proceedings go to pro-immigrant charities.

I am waiting on Yooka-Laylee which should launch on April 11 for my platform fix.

Found the answer to no joypad in Rayman legends, had to unplug my razer orbweaver to get it to work, hardly ideal, but it works, will have a proper try of the demo tomorrow hopefully.

Thank you very much for all the suggestions, I didn't realise there was so many to choose from on PC!

Another vote for Ori and the Blind Forest - one of the best games I've played in recent years regardless of genre.

I really enjoyed Thomas was alone when I played it. Pretty short but very enjoyable and has great narration over from Steve Merchant.
