What are some non-metroidvania platformers with open-spaces and exploration?

Every Amiga platforming game. They have the added benefit of not being vaporware being crushed to death by feature creep.

Sonic.
Cave Story.
Old computer platformers were frequently built around this kind of design, but a lot of those games don't hold up great.

Isn't that just mega turrican?

Mega Turrican is more or less a port of Turrican 3. As far as I'm aware the only true console original Turrican, aside from ports that are so different they might as well be new games, is Super 2. Super 1 is more like a Frankenstein mix of Turrican 2 and 3 with maybe 1 or 2 original levels so maybe it counts too.

Thankfully none nowadays, as they have the staying power of a fucking hernia. Play a good genre.

Technically and ironically 3 is the port, the console version is the original.

Can't call this "platformer"
>>16691680
Fucking great but not for explorations
hell these levels are claustrophobic and patterns are repetitive
>>16691749
Such as Shadow of the Beast trilogy?
>>16691891
Played many Sonic games and almost beat CS, they have regular size levels

I was going to mention Bloodstained but it has less emphasis on platforming.

These same guys I think actually did a remake of Simon's Quest that's nice enough but when you kill the mansion bosses they let out this ear rapingly loud yell that, even on like 50% volume nearly blew out my fucking speakers. It was awful.

I fully expect X9 to come out first despite it not even being announced yet.
Here's a gigantic list of features obviously written by the dev:

2025's pretty optimistic, it's already been in development for at least a decade as far as I'm aware

Never Ever coming sooner than later maybe, guy making it keeps doing updates.

It's going to have 200 hours of gameplay if it ever gets released. Hopefully the creator isn't stabbed in the street before he's done

Pity, had potential.

I think you can switch between them fairly freely without restarting a file, but not sure if that is just a debug feature. Least the feature is there so the dev might just let players do it.

The problem with Zero as a different character with special move sets is that they had to dumb down the level design substantially in order to make sure the stages could be handled by both characters. One of the consequences of this was that the Playstation levels are full of awful spectacle instead of interesting platforming. Zero is cancer, he should have stayed an unplayable narrative helper.

Will probably still make it before Butterlord and I will laugh my ass off when it happens.
