Comment on List of 3rd person shooter-3D platformer hybrids I know of (and looking for more)

You can try this
www.mobygames.com/game/genre:behind-view/
In the genre filter you can add Platform and Action and Shooter

This would be useful in theory, but after putting in “third person”, “platform” and “shooter” (there’s no separate option for 3D platformer vs 2D platformer), I’m getting many results of games that don’t seem to match what I’m looking for, including 2D games like “Cartoon Wars: Gunner”. However I did forget to mention Uncharted as having somewhat similar gameplay elements, although I wouldn’t consider it a 3D platformer. I guess Zapper very very loosely meets the criteria, but it’s more like a top-down Frogger-like game.

Too bad, but I guess that’s what happens when a site is crowd-edited. Changing the genre might not be something people stop to change. Pragmata and Akimboy are just listed as a “Behind View” “Action” games. The filter uses AND operators which means that users would need to mark up games with all 3 tags to work that way.
Fun to see that 2D side scrollers are considered 3rd person by some users though!
