The music in VR parkour games enhances the experience by complementing the physicality and challenge of gameplay, drawing comparisons to the energetic soundtracks found in boxing VR games. The style evokes a Tron-like atmosphere, making the combination of music and movement particularly engaging.
“The style reminds me of Tron and it's great playing with some music.”
“There's several genres of games that have really benefited from VR, from escape rooms to wave shooters to music rhythm games, but parkour brings that mix of challenge and physicality that is almost akin to the boxing VR games.”
