Backlog Picks — BassMatthi Platform Top 10s

25 min read

🏆 BassMatthi’s Platform Power Rankings — Top 10s & Hall of Shame

What this is

Top 10 games per platform for BassMatthi, plus a Top 5 to AVOID per platform. His Backloggd backlog is small (45 games) relative to his 426 played, so this leans harder on curated (✨) picks than my own doc — searching his played list, ratings, favorites and wishlist for taste signal rather than strip-mining a backlog that’s mostly already covered by good instincts. Companion-style doc to Backlog Picks — Platform Top 10s.

🗺️ Legend

📦 in his backlog/wishlist · ✨ curated addition (not on his lists) · ⚠️ caution flag · ⏳ play something else first ⏱ ~Xh main-story time from HowLongToBeat · 🏷 Genre · [↗] opens Backloggd · [[wikilinks]] for future per-game notes

🖥️ PC (Steam)

🥇 Tunic 📦 (favorited)

⏱ ~11h 🏷 Action Adventure · Zelda-like Backloggd ↗ Already a stated favorite and, notably, still unlogged as played on his profile — a real gap. A wordless instruction-manual mystery wrapped around a tiny fox in a tiny Souls-lite combat system. Everything his profile says he wants: cryptic systems, fair difficulty, huge “oh!” moment.

🥈 Hyper Light Drifter ✨

⏱ ~8h 🏷 Action RPG · Pixel Art Backloggd ↗ Wordless, gorgeous, brutal-but-fair combat from a Zelda/Souls lineage — the closest thing to “Hollow Knight but top-down action-RPG.” Short enough not to overstay. ⏱ ~8h 🏷 Action RPG

🥉 Noita ✨

⏱ ~20h+ 🏷 Roguelike · Physics Sim Backloggd ↗ The logic-puzzle brain (Baba Is You, Human Resource Machine) meets the roguelike-deckbuilder brain (Hades, Balatro, Isaac) in one wand-building physics sandbox. Deep systems, huge “wait, I can do THAT?” ceiling.

#4 Disco Elysium: The Final Cut 📦

⏱ ~27h 🏷 Narrative RPG Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged — bumping it up. A skill-check RPG where the “combat” is arguing with your own brain. The systemic-choice game that makes Man of Medan’s arbitrary choices look thin by comparison.

#5 NieR: Automata 📦 (GOTY edition wishlisted)

⏱ ~30h all routes 🏷 Action RPG Backloggd ↗ Already on his wishlist. Structurally an anthology like UFO 50 or Rhythm Heaven — routes stack into a different game each time — with combat sharp enough to satisfy the Sekiro itch.

#6 Cocoon ✨

⏱ ~6h 🏷 Puzzle Adventure Backloggd ↗ From an ex-Playdead veteran: nest worlds inside orbs you carry between each other. Baba Is You-brained, gorgeous, no combat, no filler — 6 tight hours.

#7 Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights ✨

⏱ ~15h 🏷 Metroidvania · Souls-lite Backloggd ↗ Melancholic, rain-soaked metroidvania with Souls-lite bosses. If Hollow Knight and Silksong are 5★, this is the next rung down worth climbing.

#8 Rain World 📦 ⚠️

⏱ ~20h 🏷 Survival Platformer · Ecosystem Sim Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged. Punishing but fascinating — a living ecosystem sim wearing a platformer costume. Flag: real difficulty curve, closer to “learn the rules or die” than Celeste’s assist-mode mercy.

#9 Subnautica 📦

⏱ ~30h 🏷 Survival Exploration Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged. Outer Wilds’ curiosity-first exploration loop underwater, with crafting that never turns into busywork.

#10 Astalon: Tears of the Earth ✨

⏱ ~12h 🏷 Metroidvania · Party-Swap Backloggd ↗ An underrated metroidvania with three swappable characters and real Zelda-dungeon-brain puzzle design. Punches well above its budget.

🔴 Switch

🥇 Chicory: A Colorful Tale 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~14h 🏷 Adventure · Coloring Book Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. A Zelda-shaped adventure where the “weapon” is a paintbrush that colors the whole (literally black-and-white) world. From ex-Wandersong devs; deals directly with self-doubt as a mechanic — genuinely moving.

🥈 Blasphemous II 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~13h 🏷 Metroidvania · Souls-lite Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. He rated the original 4★ — the sequel keeps the grim Iberian-Catholic iconography and smooths out the exploration and combat. Direct sequel to a proven hit.

🥉 Metroid Dread 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~9h 🏷 Metroidvania Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. The genre’s current gold standard: tight, mean, gorgeous, exactly the “fair but hard” the Sekiro/Hollow Knight ratings ask for.

#4 Shovel Knight Dig 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~6h 🏷 Roguelike · Platformer Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted; he’s played the original Shovel Knight. A Spelunky-shaped roguelike remix of a series he already knows — low-risk, high-familiarity pick.

#5 Neon White 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~6h 🏷 Speedrun FPS · Card Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. A deckbuilding brain (cards as guns/movement) fused with Titanfall-speed level design and instant restarts — Celeste’s retry-friendliness in FPS form.

#6 Cairn 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~10h 🏷 Climbing · Precision Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. A pure-movement mountain-climbing game with no combat — precision-platformer instincts pointed at something completely different from Celeste’s genre.

#7 Wilmot Works It Out 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~4h 🏷 Puzzle Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. From the Baba Is You publisher; jigsaw-shaped self-arranging puzzle logic. Short, clever, in the exact logic-puzzle lane he keeps rating 5★.

#8 Donkey Kong Bananza 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~18h 🏷 3D Platformer · Destruction Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. Odyssey-style movement joy plus fully destructible terrain — the Mario Galaxy love, evolved.

|Unbeatable]] 📦 (wishlisted)

⏱ ~8h 🏷 Rhythm · Narrative Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. A rhythm game with a real narrative arc about AI and music culture — feeds the Rhythm Heaven/Rhythm Doctor pillar directly.

#10 Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart 📦 (wishlisted, PS5; also on PS5)

⏱ ~13h 🏷 Action Platformer Backloggd ↗ Listed here as a reminder it’s wishlisted — cross-reference with the PS5 note below; play on whichever hardware is available first.

💿 PlayStation 4 (+PS5 dept)

🥇 Hades 📦 (played and loved — 4.5★)

⏱ ~22h 🏷 Roguelike · Action Backloggd ↗ Already played and rated 4.5★ on PC — flagged here as the platform’s benchmark. If somehow not yet played on a Sony console, this is still the #1 reason to own one for this profile.

🥈 Furi 📦 (played, 4★)

⏱ ~9h 🏷 Boss Rush · Action Backloggd ↗ Already played (4★) — flagged as the platform’s identity: a pure boss-rush with a neon-synth soundtrack, exactly the “fair but brutal” lane Sekiro and Hollow Knight sit in.

🥉 Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart 📦 (wishlisted, PS5)

⏱ ~13h 🏷 Action Platformer Backloggd ↗ Already wishlisted. Weapon-and-gadget joy with dimension-hopping traversal; a blockbuster with real craft behind the spectacle.

#4 Astro Bot 📦 (backlogged)

⏱ ~13h 🏷 3D Platformer Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged. Generous, funny, mechanically inventive — the platform’s own Game of the Year, and pure friction-free platforming joy.

#5 Stray 📦 (backlogged & wishlisted)

⏱ ~7h 🏷 Adventure · Cat Backloggd ↗ On both his backlog and wishlist — a clear signal. A short, atmospheric cyberpunk city seen from a cat’s eye level; low-stress, high-charm.

#6 Sifu 📦 (backlogged)

⏱ ~13h 🏷 Martial Arts · Roguelite Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged. Age-based permadeath turns every death into a system, not just a punishment — a roguelike brain grafted onto a kung-fu brawler.

#7 A Plague Tale: Innocence 📦 (backlogged)

⏱ ~12h 🏷 Stealth Adventure Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged, with Requiem already wishlisted for after. A sibling-bond stealth adventure with a genuinely great rat-swarm gimmick.

#8 Death Stranding 📦 (backlogged, incl. Director's Cut)

⏱ ~41h 🏷 Strand · Action Adventure Backloggd ↗ Already backlogged in both editions. A slow-burn delivery-and-connection game that rewards patience the way Subnautica or Outer Wilds do — pick whichever edition is on hand.

#9 Control 📦 (played, 4★)

⏱ ~13h 🏷 Action Adventure · Sci-Fi Backloggd ↗ Already played (4★) — flagged as benchmark. Remedy’s Metroidvania-shaped brutalist office building; if it wasn’t finished, it’s worth returning to.

#10 Nine Sols 📦 (played, 4.5★)

⏱ ~16h 🏷 Metroidvania · Souls-lite Backloggd ↗ Already played (4.5★), noted for completeness — Taoist-punk Sekiro-lite metroidvania, squarely in his favorite genre triangle.

🎮 PS5 dept.

Astro Bot, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch) form a clean “generous 3D platformer” throughline across his current wishlist — whichever console is on hand, one of these should be next.

💿 PlayStation 3

🥇 Dark Souls 📦 (played, currently in his backlog too — likely a replay itch)

⏱ ~44h 🏷 Action RPG · Souls-like Backloggd ↗ Already played — sitting on both played and backlog lists, suggesting an active replay/completion interest. Flagged as the platform-defining pick for a profile that rates Sekiro 4.5★ and Hollow Knight 5★.

🥈 Rayman Origins 📦 (played, 5★)

#5 Guacamelee! 📦 (played, 4★)

⏱ ~7h 🏷 Metroidvania · Brawler Backloggd ↗ Already played (4★). Its direct sequel Guacamelee! 2 (2018) is the natural next step wherever it’s available — luchador-metroidvania done twice as well.

#6 Salt and Sanctuary 📦 (played, 4★)

⏱ ~20h 🏷 Metroidvania · Souls-like Backloggd ↗ Already played (4★). 2D Dark Souls, essentially — the Souls-like and metroidvania pillars fused into one game, flagged as benchmark.

#10 Klonoa: Door to Phantomile ✨
