Portal is a platforming puzzle game if we want to count that

Infamous is an open world platformer.

i am wholly unsurprised by this score

the market for these types of games was left behind in the 90s

i kept reading rdx's last sentence as there being an issue with pollacks and i was trying to figure out how they figured into video game development outside of the witcher

for some reason i read it the same way lol

then what's the best now? honestly lol, they've always been shit. it's only maybe been beaten by galaxy but i'd attribute that to more open level design than anything lol

i agree with this - i can't think of a single worthy post-n64 3D platformer worth a shit that doesn't have the word mario somewhere in the title.

someone prove me wrong

and no, that isn't a joke

uncharted's platforming may not require much skill but it does require a modicum, sometimes more

the only part that's truly automatic is ledge grabbing

the ease of the game's platforming segments doesn't make it any less fun or any less worthy of the label "platformer" imo

it'a a mixed-genre ip, an action-adventure-platformer

wikipedia agrees

pure, unadulterated insolence

but uncharted isn't a third-person platformer in almost any sense of the word lol. it's a third-person shooter with traversal elements. it borrows some ideas, sure, but literally having jumping isn't the only criteria for a platforming game lol. by that merit we'd be considering Assassins Creed, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or even Grand Theft Auto 5 as platformers. I'm talking about games that rely on precision jumping and freely scaling a (typically) vertical space as their core mechanic. uncharted is more about holding x and forward to go across set-pieces while really only occasionally relying on precision to traverse environments.
