Prince of Persia, Flashback, Underworld, and a few others—these games left an indelible mark on history and are remembered to this day, with some creating tributes and homages to them. They're even considered a separate subgenre, called cinematic platformers. They feature mechanics similar to typical games of the genre like Mega Man or Mario, but the design approach is completely different, as if the creators wanted to break away from clichés and incorporate an adventure game element. And make everything feel like a movie, not a high-speed sprint through a virtual world. Few have achieved this, and this video will be about those few.
