I'm looking for platformers like Trine franchise and Ori and the Blind Forest/Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
I want good level design, beautiful 2D/2,5D graphics, fantasy theme, no dark-souls/roguelike vibe.
Can you recommend something like these two I've mentioned int the title?
Thanks!

Haven't played those games except for Trine and I don't remember anything like Trine, so no, If you enjoy Metroid clones though, then Eternal Daughter[derekyu.com] is worth a shot I guess? It's a free game from 2002, and in being so old there can be no Dark Souls influence. It is bit of a glitchy mess but hey, darting off an edge at ludicrious speed is actually kind of fun.

There are plenty of retro 2D games on the SNES.

The visual style is very reminiscent of Trine and there are a few puzzles but it's first and foremost a character-action metroidvania.

Perhaps something like Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth? A budget castlevania game but it was alright.

Actually there are several out there, I just usually forget about them because when I see them they are not on sale.

Why used to? Is the 5th game bad? Other than the third one, 1, 2 and 4 are actually quite good.

I will say, this game is supposedly short and I only played the demo but it was good.

Also, the obvious Hollow Knight and Blasphemous
