I liked this one. Very minimal, but nothing that comes between you and the game. Boot it up and do some casual parkour.

Refunct is a first-person, minimalistic platformer game. The game is very cathartic and serene; it's just you and a bunch of platforms and walls that you parkour across to traverse the environment. The music is very calming and ethereal, in contrast to the fast-paced parkour action. It reminds me of a rudimentary version of Mirror's Edge.

 

The goal of Refunct is to restore life to the world around you by jumping on platforms, turning them from grey concrete to green grass. The world starts off small, limiting you to just a few platforms that you jump up in order to hit a button that opens up the next sequence. The more buttons you press, the more the world opens up around you.

 

The game is very short, even when I took my sweet time taking in the experience, I was done in about 20 minutes. My fastest run lasting only 8 minutes 25 seconds.

 

Refunct is a calming, chill, fun, short platformer that I can certainly recommend. Fire it up and do some simple parkour for a bit.

 

Overall, I'd give this game a rating of Good/Great.

Short and Sweet, this one: it was good/great for me, and it will be for anyone who wants to relax and climb some cubes.
