Flashback and Heart Of Darkness are indeed amazing games. Only finished the former though...

Ori And The Blind Forest isn't in your list. I suggest you buy it NOW and play it. It's breathtaking.

I had a Delphine software pack on the Amiga which included Operation Stealth, Cruise for a Corpse, Future Wars, Flashback and Another world.

You can add Cruise for a Corpse and Operation Stealth to your list. Cruise for a corpse is a cinematic detective game (pixel hunter though iirc) set on a ship in which you must solve a murder. Kind of like being in an interactive Agatha Christie novel. Operation stealth pretty much like Future Wars but with a different premise (you're a spy finding some stealth plane or something like that). All I remember from Operation Stealth was not being able to get past the Guard at Passport Control in the airport (probably the 3rd screen or so 🙁). This was back in the day before wide spread internet so I had a wait for a game guide to be released in a magazine, which I subsequent missed the publication of.

I loved the Cinematic games from Delphine Software, but other than Flashback and Another World, they were bloody difficult for a wee nipper like me at the time.

Unsure if its already mentioned but there was also a Flashback-esque game by some Eastern European developers called OnEscapee. If you like flashback, I would highly recommend it.

None of Operation Stealth, Cruise for a Corpse, Future Wars, or Beneath a Steel Sky really qualifies as a "platformer", though. Conventionally, those would be "adventure" games, or "point and click".
