I wouldn't call myself a big platformer buff, per se, but I do like to partake on occasion—I simply cannot resist the allure of kicking back with a controller and collecting something. I've especially become a fan of the wave of indie platformers that've cropped up as a mainstay of PC Gaming: Games like A Hat in Time, which distil the essence of 'do movement tech until you've got a hundred gubbins' until it's basically dopamine moonshine.
From the hour and change I've played Big Hops looks to be joining that proud tradition. Developed by Luckshot Games, Big Hops sees you playing as Hop. Who, contrary to the game's title, is just a little guy—perhaps the littlest guy to have ever done it.
