I can’t remember the name now, but I recently found a game In have been looking the name of for years. It’s something like Pharo’s. Curse or something along those lines, but I’d have to check Flashpoint Archive for the name because they have the online demo.
The concept was just that each level had a different board layout and you had to move 3 pieces of some sort of symbol or artifact or whatever to be adjacent ( possibly in a certain order horizontally ) but balls spawn if you move witjo clearing them by matching 3 or using a powerup. You could move them to any empty space so long as the path was clear.
Can’t find a copy of the actual game itself from a reputable website right now, but I know it exists.
It was a tower defense game before the term existed. Way back on a Macintosh back and white machine. You sat in the lower corner with a mortar and machine gun against people, tanks, helicopters, and jets trying to charge/shoot your position.
Oh! And The Dark Castle. There was a big the prevented you from finishing the game. Man I wish I could play it to completion.
Another awesome one is the tank game where you spawned on hills, then insulted each other before flinging various crazy weapon shots around (nikes, mirvs, napalm, dirt). Such fun.
The Portal games are fun puzzle FPS platformers with a great story, though there’s a good chance you’ve already played those and didn’t consider them platformers.
Another FPS platformer is Roboquest. It’s a roguelite shooter. Very fast pace and stressful but fun if you’re into that kind of thing.
I also want to second Psychonauts. I haven’t played #2 yet but the first game had a unique and interesting story with fun gameplay.
I’ve heard A Short Hike is a relaxing game. More about exploration than meeting game objectives but could be a nice break when you’re stressed. Basically the opposite of Roboquest haha

I did not speak french when I was six. I do now, but apparently that doesn’t automatically translate memories from thirty years ago. It took me about 5 years of actively looking for this to find it. I found it by asking in a big forum (not reddit but that sort of thing) for something like “people driving cars deforesting space with lasers”.
I’ve heard good things about, but not myself played, Penny’s Big Breakaway, might be worth looking into, it’s got a demo on steam. I think it’s the game closest to your list I’m aware of. In terms of slightly different 3D platformers that MAY be to your taste: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a step away from the others in your list in terms of movement styles, as a spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio, but is a proper 3D platformer, and the music is really good. Exploring each new area is the primary gameplay loop, with some limited combat that isn’t really the focus. Mirror’s Edge is a first person platformer with focus on going fast. The movement is surprisingly good for a first person game, and I’ve enjoyed going back and running time trials, as every level has a ton of very non obvious alternate routes that involve taking advantage of all your movement options (ie: wall jumping in a space you may not have realized was even an option, rather than going up stairs) Neon White is probably the furthest from what you’re looking for, but is one I’m a big fan of. Another first person platformer with short, timed stages, and ratings at the end. Killing enemies gives cards that can be used for attacks or movement. The dialogue is all extremely cringe (and deliberately so)
I’ve played Penny’s Big Breakaway. It’s well made, and I had a bit of fun with it, but it’s not what I usualy look for in a platformer. It’s a very score-based game in which just going through a level is easy but the real challenge is doing it in style, by chaining moves and racking up combos.
What was that one where you were a stationary turret shooting at UFOs flying in? At some point the turret upgrades to a helicopter. I remember playing that on win 98 or something.
I haven’t played all these but they look cool, maybe worth checking out: Pumpkin Jack, Spark the Electric Jester 3, and Sonic Robo Blast 2 (it’s free, not on Steam)
Everyone keeps mentioning autoaim, but my friends and I would play with it off or turned down since its get in the way, I guess modern cod does have stronger auto aim, but it still swings towards the general direction and you have to correct it, plus everyone has auto aim so you have to actually aim and go for headshots if you want to beat the other ppl to the punch
game dependent, on gta wed only turn autoaim off in private lobbies, games meant for it to be used, would like some auto aim free lobbies but thats not happening
Playing GTA with a controller has been insanely easier than M&KB since I switched. Not just the aim assist, but the ease of doing practically everything makes it faster and smoother. Well… Except drive-bys. No aim assist when shooting from a car and you need ALL THE BUTTONS making it awkward lol
