    Most games have menus

      If menuing is more essential to the gameplay loop than movement, the game is a menu.
      If you can beat the game without ever opening a menu outside of the main menu, it's parkour.

      Dark Souls is menus.
      Halo is Parkour.

        Are there not entire aspects of a fan-based dedicated to beating dark souls without opening a menu?

        the UI has nothing to do with it; dark souls is menus because combat is just shuffling around in one small area and pushing butan when prompted

        So Civ VI is technically parkour? What a dumb classification.

          No, you exclusively open menus in strategy games (e.g build menus, construction menus, etc) so it's a menu game.

        So if a game has a level select between levels its a menu game?

    I like where this is headed, but parkour needs to be changed with something more demeaning. Saying a game is a menu game is definitely insulting, but you can't deny you're in menus for a significant portion of the game. Saying a game is parkour has a cool connotation, so the distinction becomes something cool vs uncool. To get people riled up, you need uncool vs uncooler, where which is uncooler is subjective.
    I don't actually like where this is headed

      Rhythm games are menu games, fighting games are movement games. Because it's movement not parkour.

    I feel like you figure out very early on in your gaming career whether you're a menus or movement guy. Besides playing Pokemon as a child I've always found menus to be incredibly boring and repetitive whereas movement games never get old. How do menu fans feel about movement games? Have any menu fans made the switch to preferring movement games or vice versa? Why and how?

        Apex is a spinoff of titanfall, a game that has actual parkour elements like wall jumping and air movement.
        Apex took all of those mechanics away and just has a slide and nerfed grapplehook.

      Parkour, obviously
      It's still parkour, even if it's just one huge jump over all the obstacles. All the gameplay is about managing your trajectory and not fricking up your landing.

    This isn't a very good categorization because it boils down to not menu vs parkour, but menu vs not menu. Basically, under this system, a game is either a menu game, or it's not and you just label it parkour (regardless of what kind of game it is)

          it's a game about looking at a grid and moving items around inside it. Just because it can go fast doesn't mean the entire thing isn't basically a menu.
