What are some dope platform games that aren’t hack n slash or cartoony?

[Po pimp]

I’m looking for a side scrolling/platform type game with realistic graphics that take place in modern time, but I can’t seem to find any. Any suggestions? I don’t mind a contra type game, but preferably something with a deep system or strategy.

I beat Inside. That was dope, but it doesn’t have any combat (it was more of a puzzle type game). I liked Shadow Complex too, so something like that.

That's a lot of prerequisites that practically contradict the usual genre stylings, but if I can think of something, I'll drop it.

Let's see. How about:

FAR: Lone Sail

The Swapper
The Fall
Trine
Oddworld
Raji
Strider
Rive

I do like the graphics, but it seems more puzzle type. I guess I should say a Metroidvania type game (like Shadow Complex) but with even more realistic graphics.

Or even a realistic looking 2D shooter/beat em up game.

Whatever happened to this game?

Salt and sanctuary is a 2d soulsborne type metroidvania game.

realistic 2d platformer? No such thing

if you want a realistic platformer get tomb raider or uncharted.

I have both of these. I actually thought TWOM would be that type of platformer, but it was different. I still like it though. I just started on S&S.

The messenger is good. I don’t know if the art style is “real” enough for you though
