Best Precision Platformers, Ranked

Platforming games, as their genre suggests, challenge players to navigate through a myriad of precarious cliffs and ledges while avoiding deadly obstacles by jumping precisely at the right moment and landing on safe spaces en route to the end of stages. Over the decades, certain platformers have made it possible to make jumping from one place to another both difficult and fun to complete, thanks in large part to developments in controls and in-game mechanics.
