8.0/10Duskfade
Duskfade is Weird Beluga’s love letter to classic 3D action-platformers — jump, dash, grapple, glide, and slash with Zirian and mechanical Cuckoo to free a sister from a Clock Tower that drowned the world in night. Multiplatform (PC/PS5/Xbox/Switch 2), Steam Deck Verified. Best for Jak/Spyro nostalgia with modern combat; skip if you want pure open-world sandbox.
