Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Games like Mirror’s Edge, Assassin’s Creed and Dying Light have shown us how exhilarating parkour can be in a videogame. But those titles used it as a mean of effective traversal only, not as a Tony Hawk-esque trick system in itself. Enter Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game (sheesh, what a long name), which we reviewed on Xbox Series X – let’s hop on it with a somersault, shall we?
Sadly, R&A does not deliver the experience I have been dreaming about for so many years. What is here is a very promising technical demo of parkour in video game form, which is great in terms of the technical accomplishment, but it lacks the game experience. Instead, it becomes a test of your dedication and patience to walk away feeling anything but frustration.
Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game lets you live out your parkouring dreams across numerous environments. There are time trial and trick rush events to complete, but they can be frustrating thanks to finicky controls and mechanics. This is a game best enjoyed simply chilling out with others.
