Hop to it
The 3D platformer genre is coming back into fashion, and Big Hops is just one example.
This indie effort from Luckshot Games stars you as a young frog who’s taken from his home and plonked somewhere else, and the adventure is all about getting back.
Being a frog, Hop has a few tricks up his sleeve. Obviously, he’s a natural born hopper, and you’ll be doing plenty of jumping and other manoeuvres, including climbing and diving to reach new areas.
What seems even more important, though, is his tongue. Hop can use his tongue for a wide range of purposes — swinging from grapple points, grabbing items, turning valves, and even picking locks.
There’s an emphasis on free movement and exploring at your own pace, and part of that is finding Veggies, items you collect that you can throw out into the world to aid you in your platforming.
It looks pretty slick in the above trailer, and there’s not long to go before we can see what it’s like. Big Hops launches 12th January 2026 on PS5.
