What are the best cinematic platformers on PC?

Abilities are learned gradually as the game progresses by collecting gems and also learning the musical language of the forest life from plants and animals.

As you gain more abilities or learn how to interact with more creatures, you can then go back to old areas and find new paths that were previously inaccessible. For example, birds that may not have paid much attention to you before may now gladly carry you over large gaps once you speak their language. Plants can springboard you high into the air once you can communicate with them.

This ability progression is an exciting way to keep things fresh, and makes visiting old areas rewarding with new secrets to be found.
