Is there a discount for A Hat in Time? No? Sad.

So, just to be clear, when you say "platformer" you mean... basically any random game, including ones that are blatantly, obviously not platformers in any way, shape or form?

Or did you just get fooled by your own worthless tags? Because this assortment of "platformers" is a wonderful display of how utterly useless those are.

HuniePop 2: Double Date
Scarlet Hood and the Wicked Wood
The Talos Principle: Gold Edition

platformers ?

Time Gentlemen, Please! + Ben There, Dan That!
Bear With Me
Dropsy (though I guess only the DLC is a platformer?)
Bug Fables
Kapia

Probably some other stuff I missed or can't tell for sure.

That's one of the weirdest platform sales I've seen.

Anyway, a heads up for those interested in Cyber Hook, since its on sale right now and its a 'good' platformer:

DO NOT BUY IT HERE.

Devs apparently dropped support for it here.
In 'the store that shall not be named', they have a DLC with an important part of the "story" (The "last boss fight". Yes, a DLC for the last Boss Fight, you're reading it right.), plus, the workshop with some very good community created maps for fun and challenge runs.

The weird thing is, I own it here on GOG and I could find signs in game files of the last levels added by the DLC, so it seems to me it was always planned to have the last boss level locked behind DLC, which, well, because the DLC was never released here, you can't access them with the GOG release. Of course you could find a way to access such levels using 'hacking tricks' by moving the last level files found inside GOG's versions, to play it, without the DLC on GOG. But its not something every consumer/buyer can do. So yeah, avoid it.

gOg may not be very genre consitent, but at least they are consitent in just throwing any random game in a themed sale

I think that a game that sells the final boss as a DLC should not be purchased at all, anywhere.

Can't disagree.

Huniepop? man, that's my favorite platformer :D
But really, I understand that calling a sale "puzzle-adventure" it's not as catchy, but you're really pushing it there

Reminds me how in the primary school days I lent Heroes of Might & Magic 2 disc to a classmate, and on the next day he remarked on it something like: "Meh, it's just some platformer". I suppose he learned that word somewhere and wanted to sound knowledgeable.

Yep. That's about the mind-set that GOG seems to have towards genre tags.

I mean, GOG did just platform all of these in a very recent sale...

If they say something like "buy the DLC to finish the game" at the end then that isn't cool but it seems like a quite unfair accusation to me. I didn't get to the end (after getting stuck trying to get the gold on a particularly difficult level that was later modified or removed) but it is still one of my favorites and well worth what I paid for it, over double the current price and I still have a number of levels to go. There aren't a lot of games like it and I found this one quite fun. The developer released the DLC a year and a half after the main game and it has dozens of new levels not just one battle (and I'm not sure how much of a "battle" it is, there aren't really battles in the base game but it sounds like there might be in the DLC). I still think two plus years of work is better for DLC but this seems way better than DLC after six months, or at release, or worse during early access.

The game has very little story, it is a speed run game where the entire point is to get a good time on each level. Offline there are three times to aim for that felt nicely balanced to me other than the one that I got stuck on that has been changed. You can save what you did to review to figure out how to improve. The levels are nicely designed in my opinion and swinging around is fun. I can't remember if I had some nausea playing it but it was at least much better than any first person Unreal Engine game I can think of. I enjoy speedrun games but rarely finish them entirely.

So I say get it on GOG since there is a lot of great content in the base game and if you make it to the end and like it enough to insist on playing the DLC elsewhere (maybe send a nice note to the developer first to try to get it here) then it will have been fun enough that handing the developer an extra $2 to rebuy the base game isn't likely to ruin your day.
