Fast-paced. 3D Platformer. Parkour. First-Person. Racing.
Those are the tags affixed to the Steam page for Stuntboost, a game that I've had trouble summing up with a clean label when asked about it. Stuntboost is a skateboarding game that sometimes features a car, a platformer with a speedometer, an ode to those shrunken bedroom maps popularized by early FPS modders.

Despite its choice of vehicles, this thing's for FPS movement sickos—an exercise in precision camera control and first-person platforming.

Many of its tracks are non-linear obstacle courses that ask you to find your own way across, and the devs actively encourage looking for shortcuts.
