    A lot of people have said the obvious ones, but I have to give a shout-out to Rayman Legends.

    I don’t play a lot of platformers, but it was the only one I got into in the PS3/XBOX360/Wii generation. Would also say the Rayman Run series are the best mobile platformers.

    Also not sure if this counts as a platformer, but I loved Inside.

    EDIT: Just realized we specified 3D platformers so this whole comment is stupid.

    I’ll give it to Prince of Persia: Sands of Time then.
