My kids play this one a lot, two player. I've noticed the infinite respawn at checkpoint idea is kind of going away.
A lot more games now lose all progress upon death, which is far more engaging. Neon Abyss is similar and worth a look if you like 2D platformers.
I only play hardcore, so Minecraft, Terraria, Path of Exile (they're my big 3), if I die, I delete that character and world and start again.
Glad to see gaming move back in that direction. Death should be devastating; not a mild inconvenience.
