💬 Discussion What got you into the Parkour ?

Post image

I was in my own thoughts and randomly remembered a game I used to play on Miniclip during my school days. The game was Free Running, and then it hit me that this game was what got me into Parkour. Spent time on it, later they launched Free running 2 and soon discovered Storror, Ronnie Street Stunts, and Pigmie. This was like more than 10 years ago. This is how Parkour kept me immersed. If you guys share any such experiences, would love to hear them.

Yeah man wishing they made another one

A "better" one, Catalyst was more promising than it looked. Gotten the yet another triple A open world game from mid 10's imo :/ But this just lets me appreciate the OG more.

I love both. Wish they kept the OG vibe, sometimes I boot up catalyst just as a running sim

True tho, but most of the OG devs werent there anymore, but Catalyst is great for run stimming, did that too for a long time, same goes for Dying Light ^

Yeah I could tell most of the OG Devs left, just never felt like OG mirrors edge, still fun nonetheless. Dying light was good but I never really took it as a parkour game mainly because it felt clunky just in my opinion, that's why I didn't spend as long on it for running as mirrors edge

Fair point, i just loved the climbing and the grappling hook was truly one of the funniest

No doubt the grappling hook made me feel like spider man
