Recommend me a game

Can anyone recommend something similar, i.e. a real time action leveling up RPG (with swords, and magic stuff) , which can be played co-op?

Available Consoles, Switch, PS4, Wii, XBOX 360 + some retro.

The 60fps of 1 appeals, but I'm guessing 2 might be overall the better package?

But free-falling platforming swooping action sounds right up my street.

Knowing you enjoy movement-feel and exploring game spaces I think you'd enjoy either. 2 is more developed and while it still has problems with combat - probably the series' main criticism - they are less pronounced than the first game. 2 also has more variety in core traversal as you can switch between gravity styles and it is fun experimenting between being heavy and full of momentum or light and floaty, and it also has more location variety. 2 is actually more like 2+3 with three separate and sequential story arcs, so it's also definitely got the more content, but one of those arcs is concerned with returning to the city from the first game - I think that's better obviously having the context from playing the first game first! In fact I really like the story and characters so I would recommend playing the games in order, but it depends how much that matters to you (the story gets on to Kingdom Hearts level of obtuse anyway so I don't think you'd be spoiling it by playing 2 first, you'd just be even more lost on certain aspects of it but that's normal!)

2 had online elements that unfortunately got shut down only a year or so after launch. They weren't integral to the game, but they were ever present treasure-hunts placed across the map by other players taking photos of locations for you to find and it's a shame they are gone (there are also a few costumes locked behind it now forever lost but oh well - I didn't get them all anyway because it was quite a grind!).

The music in both games is fantastic. Visually both have strong styles and art direction, but obviously 2 being made for PS4 vs Vita means it is the prettier game. 2 is a very pretty game!

It looked really nice as well for the time, very smooth and refined visuals.

Something we could get into quickly.consodering the time the time would he good, but I wouldn't say no to a 100 hour long 3 player co op RPG.
