2D platformers are the foundation of gaming.
Before open worlds, skill trees, and online play, games were built on movement — jumping, timing, and learning through failure. The best platformers didn’t just test skill. They taught it.
In this video, we look at the 2D platformer games that defined the genre.
These games perfected control, level design, and flow. They made movement feel natural, responsive, and rewarding. Every jump mattered. Every mistake taught you something new.
From classic Nintendo design to modern indie masterpieces, these platformers show why the genre still thrives today.
