Went on the lookout for some [???] games.
I guess I'm not too sure what to call these.
The first was probably defrag for Quake 3 [1], the most famous is probably Surf for Counter-Strike [2]. That's very active even today.
And many of these newer games also take heavy inspiration from Mirror's Edge.
I found it interesting that the former two require exploiting physics glitches and the latter was a pioneering game for designing movement-based challenges deliberately. Quake had level timers, but Mirror's Edge had a DLC map pack without a single enemy.
What would you call these games?
