I want a game where you just parkour, no missions/no quests, no extreme hardcore parkour. I just want to relax, listen to music and parkour in a game.

Edit: thanks everyone for the great suggestions, I will try to take a look into each one. Thanks again.

Pretty simple, not to long ago I finished ac unity and really enjoyed just parkouring and running round the streets. I really want to play more games with some similar sort of mechanics. I played dying light aswell and enjoyed that just as much so now I need some new suggestions. Anything Helps :)

Picture this: a third person, open city game where parkour is a large, if not the main, mechanic. Why does that specific types of games seem so rare? Are they not profitable? If so, why do you think that’s the case?

Ubisoft gutted Assassin’s Creed’s parkour mechanics 4 years ago in order to make way for RPG elements and larger map scale in AC Origins (2017). Great news for RPG lovers who love to explore open environments on their horses.

However, people who found joy in traversing the dusty rooftops of Damascus in AC1, or scaling the Notre Dame in AC Unity, will not like the newer games for their parkour.

Sadly, the only purely parkour focused game I can think of that has come out in the past couple decades is a game called Free Running (2007), which was kinda like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater but with parkour.

PS I don’t know if parkour is a big aspect of Forspoken, but even if its parkour is as streamlined as Spider-Man (2018), I will enjoy it. There wasn’t much player input, but it looked so smooth and the animations blended together seamlessly. I get a similar vibe from the shots of gameplay in that trailer. That’s one game for us parkour lovers to have a modicum of hope for :)
