Need to clear my backlog of unplayed games but this is a guaranteed purchase :-)

I've been playing a lot of Jupiter Hell recently, though I am finding it very hard to get further than about the eighth map. Clearly I am making some poor strategic decisions!

Have almost finished The Vagrant via Proton. A really good 2D action-RPG romp with lovely artwork and tight controls.

I also have played a few levels of LEGO Batman: The Videogame with my daughter as she is really into her LEGO stuff. Works fine but is a little boring compared to the LEGO LoTR games.

Basingstoke is free on Itch, however :-)

Thanks for this as I was having trouble launching the game on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system!

Quoting: GuestPlatformers... so hard to make (just) a Top 5...
I'm sure i'm missing something here; in no particular order:
Turrican (all of them - Amiga), Leander (Amiga),james pond - Robocod (Amiga), New Zeland story (Arcade) ,Toki (Arcade), and to stay "in topic", Gost'n Goblins (Arcade), Wonderboy (Arcade)

Or if you're proper old school... ;-)

Citadel, Quest, Plan B/Plan B II, Shark (forgotten classic!), Codename: Droid etc.

Quoting: sub

Quoting: robvvOoh! Looks like just my cup of tea, with the platforming and old-school feel :-)

Did you try "Alwa's Awakening"?

Wants to accomplish the very same, but does it way better imho.
(Judging from the video above, ofc.)

I have it in my library but have not properly played it yet. It got lost in my collection of 'to be played' :-) I must make some time to play it.

I've been playing Underworld Ascendant quite a lot over the last few days. Very well optimised and it runs well on my system (AMD FX-9370, 16Gb RAM, GTX 970).
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen runs well through Proton and is another game I've got quite into.

Finally, Knightin'+ 'cos it's good fun with old school pixel action :-)

We are also patching Ion Fury ASAP to remove all unacceptable language.

I've played through the EA release, though I haven't yet fired up the completed game. Makes me wonder what the above statement refers to as I wasn't aware of any particularly insensitive language within the game?

Slightly OT, but the website the developer is talking about is renowned for actively injecting their Windows packages with their own custom DLLs. So it's *really* not recommended downloading from that site!
