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 and Alleys is close to being a flipping great parkour game. This trick-filled, point-scoring, freerunning experience has a banging soundtrack and hilarious online play, but the fussy and frustrating controls stop it from climbing to the next level.

Rooftops & Alleys, in part, is victim to its own ambition. With its extraordinary mechanical strength, the majority of the content simply doesn’t measure up and found myself tiring of the experience prematurely due to a lack of variety and aesthetic interest. While this was leavened by the online modes, I still came away wishing for a more robust foundation to support its staggering mechanical heights.

A rare example of a focused title with fully well rounded polish across the board. I’m surprised seeing critique of controls and maps as I find the learning curve of the mechanics a balanced and rewarding system. The maps are somewhat small but absolutely packed with content that facilitate the trails and your own creativity. The customization progression system also greatly motivated me to improve, with each time/skill trial medal pushing me to get better and better in search of clothing &high scores. The somewhat small amount of these trials also lends itself well to a consistent balance and quality as all fit well into the maps and teach you mechanics, techs, and the maps themselves. My only critique in this area would be some gold medal requirements being a little too harsh taking literal hours to get the last 0.2 of a second to achieve it. Although, many will love this souls like difficulty based on skill and experience. For such a small and cheap title that also tackles a niche we have yet to see realised successfully, this is an absolute blast and must buy for fans of the concept or movement in gaming alone. Future likely content updates will grow this title more and more into a near perfect title. Small bugs and a couple picky time trial requirements are not enough to drag down a outstanding title.

The most boring and uneventful game I’ve played in years. I love the idea of this game. But I played it for 2 minutes and realised I had screwed up. Not worth the money. And to be honest I wouldnt play this if it were free. I’m all for developers having a go. But this is absolute garbage

Its a decent little game BUT, the maps are tiny and isn't alot going on, you dont have alot of moves to do and its quite basic, mostly the same flips amd vaults. NEEDS bigger maps and more moves as at the minute its extremely basic. Wait till its on offer dont oay the £20 that is asked

Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game is a rare example of a focused vision executed with precision. It understands the appeal of movement not just as a means of traversal, but as a form of expression. It’s fluid, skillful, and deeply rewarding. While there’s room for growth in content and social features, what’s here already delivers an impressive foundation for the genre. With its complex moveset, robust customization, and adrenaline-fueled design, it simulates parkour perfectly and captures its spirit.

The idea behind Rooftops & Alleys is creative and applied in an interesting way. However, the combination of repetitiveness and some control flaws end up damaging the game's qualities. Even so, it might be worth giving it a chance to venture through vertical landscapes while performing risky maneuvers, but be careful not to fall off a building by mistake.

Rooftops & Alleys has a great foundation of parkour gameplay. But with a handful of levels and no great variety of missions that'll have you tripping over your feet, this won't keep players around for long; unless they're hardcore into parkour.

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.
