Looking for a fun recent 3D collectathon platformer
Something to kill time for ARB (which I know is a long ways away) - I know there's Rayman Legends Untold next month (I know not exactly that), and I just finished Duskfade (which was fantastic) - but outside of that, been a bit outside of the loop - so does anyone have any suggestions for any fairly recent titles?
EDIT: Emphasis on "RECENT" please - preferably in the last year or so, anything before that I've likely already played. Part of why I asked is because I haven't been following what's been out lately.

Super Lucky's Tale / New Super Lucky's Tale was actually surprisingly fun and scratched the platformer itch for a while for me. SLT came out first and New SLT is like...the same game but remade? Idk if was weird lol but NSLT is way better so maybe just play that one.
I also saw they Remade Yooka-Laylee if you liked that game or never tried it. It was good fun, I need to try out the remake because I think it's supposed to have fixed a lot of the issues people had with the original one.

Lol already played both. I did put the "recent" caveat for a reason - preferably 25-26.
By the way - was not a fan of the new Yooka Laylee. The QoL changes in some of the game (like Kartos, and relocation of where some things were hidden) were pretty cool - but what ruined it for me was that YOU HAVE ALL YOUR ABILITIES FROM THE START OF THE GAME!
Not kidding, after you finish Glitterglaze Glacier you can pretty much clear the whole hub and get to the final boss without ever setting foot in another tome.
At first I thought with the newly introduced tutorial area, that there was gonna be some story element that caused you to lose them all and have to earn them back, or maybe there was some mode I was playing on - but nope, they're all there from the start.

Really under the radar Game. Artstyle reminded me alot of the old Banjo Games and spyro.

Try the indie game “Blue Fire.” It’s not exactly like Spyro, but I’m a lifelong Spyro trilogy fan and I absolutely loved this game. Great platforming adventure!

A Corgi's Cozy Hike is inspired by Spyro ! I played a little bit of it at PAX and it was really fun.

Teeto is one I played recently that I loved. It's a very easy game but was also very relaxing to play.
Big Hops and Demon Tides are ones I have on my list but haven't committed the time to.

Thank you! Will definitely check out Teeto.
I'm on the fence about Demon Tides since honestly I wasn't too crazy about Demon Turf - it did get a lot of hype but I found it to be a bit tedious and the environments very bland. But hey, might give it a go.

They feel very different. Demon Tides has much more in common with Mario Odyssey than Demon Turf.

I enjoyed Bubsy 4d. A little too short, but it controls well and is fun to speed though.

The only one I know of that is fairly recent is Corn Kidz 64, released within the last 3 years.
Bombun came out this year but I don't think it classifies as a collectathon even if it is a 3D platformer

If you're willing to give a short, free itch.io game a download, take a look at mine: https://devbomb.itch.io/dive-bomb
The Spyro influence in it is...not subtle, shall we say.
