You should be able to run and jump in a mostly empty room with no textures or music and still have a good time. And Big Hops, out now on PS5, PC, and Switch, is a new 3D indie platformer that succeeds perfectly at providing a platformer that’s incredible to play while also offering up plenty of ways to experiment and explore.
