I've found myself on a 3D platformer kick recently blame Yooka-Laylee, that game charmed the hell out of me, btw got a public level 3+ giveaway for it going, and I'm looking for more. Something adventurous and charming, but not too difficult. Something that I can work on over the course of a week or something. And I'm just hitting a wall with figuring out what all else there is.

I've tried out Poi and Ostrich Island, but got bored with them a while back (let me know if they're any good though, I'll try and go back to them). And I've finished Yooka-Laylee, Munch's Oddysee, Psychonauts, and Legend of Kay. And WALL*E and Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise, but those are movie-based games so who cares. And if we count Snake Pass and/or The Last Tinker, then I've finished those too. But if you want to make an argument as to why I should play them again, go for it.

Now I've only got a PC and a 3DS, but feel free to recommend games on other platforms as well (who knows, I might one day be able to get me a console). And unreleased games, too. Really, just anything. I wanna have a friendly talk about 3D platformers. :D

Are 3D platformers even worth it?

Yeah, they're fun.
No, they're dumb.
No idea.
Obligatory potato answer.

I just played Castle of Illusion and it's nice! :D
Anyway, other platform I know are PlayStation exclusives like LBP or puppeteer

Antichamber is a First person puzzle game with lots of 3D platforming elements. It is SO GOOD! The more I played, the more I loved it.

My favourite genre, too. Sadly I don't know many 3D Platformers on Steam.. For sure N64 was the golden Area for 3D Platformers (Mario 64, Conker, DK, Gex, Banjo 1+2) and also great Series for PS1/2 (Jack&Dexter, Ratchet&Clank, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Sly Racoon, Rayman). Ofc all Mario Titles for Nintendo Consoles were great. I hope there will be a Comeback for PC after Yooka-Laylee.

Poi.It was part of the Humble Monthly and was in early access when it was bundled, however they have recently finished the game and added a lot more. I really enjoyed it, but I know people have mixed opinions of the game. I would definitely recommed going back to it and giving it a second try. I was a little bored with it as well, but the new update a month or so ago added a few new levels, an actual end, and some cool, new minigames.
