Games Retrospect Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 In a way, the parkour discipline took the entertainment world by storm. Although free-running is relatively new, the discipline has appeared on TV series, action movies, funny videos from the internet and of course, video games. When done right, parkour is one of the most visually-attractive training disciplines and is particularly effective in video games. So what are some of the best parkour games out there? I'll leave some of my favorites below in the form of a link, but there are so many games with parkour elements that I'm sure I missed a couple. Top 10: Best Parkour Video Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leods Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Bah. It's so frustrating to see a Topic that is just a link. Well, I came in here to say the only good parcour game I know is Cludbuilt. It's pretty darned good. It's more just a game though. Not a cinematic bullshit Thing. So all you do is get from Point a to Point B. And it's pretty hard. But damn it's good. Cloudbuilt. Not clicking the link though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games Retrospect Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Bah. It's so frustrating to see a Topic that is just a link. I usually include the link because the top ten article includes a short paragraph dedicated to each game, so I can provide some background about each game and explain why they were included. Just out of curiosity, would you prefer that I include the list instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Does the wall jump in Mario 64 count? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoRacer Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Does the wall jump in Mario 64 count? I was going to say Mario... you beat me to it. Seriously though, other than Mirror's Edge, I'm not aware anything like that exists. Maybe I'm out of the "parkour" game loop. Who knows...

G-type Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was always one of my favorites. I just thought it got bogged down by the boring combat sections... I much preferred the puzzle/platforming Edited March 17, 2016 by G-type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazball Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 ^^ What leods said. On topic though, other than Mirror's Edge and Prince of Persia, I'm having a hard time coming up with 10 parkour games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If you like zombie games, Dying light is great, and actually feels pretty fluid and natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker_2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 There was also Free Running on the PS2: I've not played it, so I don't know how it is. Mirror's Edge is great, though I wish it were less linear and didn't involve you (the player) shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
