  I don’t have any suggestions for your list, but just wanted to mention if you put two trailing spaces on each line it will preserve your line breaks. Alternatively, using the Markdown list method instead of inserting bullets will also maintain breaks for each item.

  #Markdown list style
  * item 1
  * item 2
  

  Looks like:

  • item 1
  • item 2

  ---

  Trailing spaces (“#” == space):
  ▪︎ item 1##
  ▪︎ item 2

    Thanks, this is extremely useful. I wasnt sure if it was just displaying with them without line breaks on my end since I’m using Sync app for Lemmy

      np! The way line breaks are handled isn’t intuitive and the formatting guide offered through the Lemmy web-ui doesn’t even mention it.

  I really enjoyed Sunset Overdrive. The platforming mostly consists of skateboard-esque rail jumping that I actually enjoyed a lot.

  Bounty Hunter - This is a really fun one. You play as Jango, hunting a rogue Jedi. You platform around with jumping, climbing, and using your jetpack. I think you’ll like it.

  If you can find them, the Harry Potter games (Years 1-3 from the early 2000s) should count. They have lots of 3D platforming. Spells work like flintlock guns, since it takes a few seconds to fire another one.

    Bounty Hunter has been on my radar actually! The remaster looks terrific. Thanks, I also forgot about the platforming in those Harry Potter games 😊

  Saints Row IV, the other ones not so much, but with the super powers in this one there are a number of platforming elements.

  Crackdown series may potentially fit.

  Sunset Overdrive and the Infamous series are both made by insomniac (ratchet and clank) and fit the description.

  All my suggestions are up there already, just happy to see ReCore being mentioned still. Metal Arms and Jet Force Gemini are excellent.

  Wouldn’t Tomb Raider be the original?

  There is also Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 from the year 2000 that is closer to what you are looking for

    Eh, tbh Tomb Raider feels about as much like a platformer as Uncharted, Infamous, Sunset Overdrive, Mirror’s Edge, or Assassin’s Creed to me. Even Ocarina of Time actually. These are kind of semi platformer-y but more on-rails and without as much freedom of movement or what I consider genuine platforming. More climbing and exploring. Heavy Metal games look interesting though.

  Duke Nukem Land of the babes and Duke Nukem time to kill from PS1 were third person shooters as well

  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!
