Side-scrolling games
The side view is the classic angle from which platformers began: the hero moves left and right, jumps and climbs, and the world unfolds in layers. Today, both 2D and 3D games use this approach — from precise platformers and Metroidvanias to fighting games and shooters. This view is prized for its clarity: it's always clear where the hero is and where they can jump.
Not always. A 2D platformer is one of the side-view genres, but fighting games, beat 'em ups, shooters, and even strategy games also have this look. There are also volumetric graphics with a side-view camera — that's 2.5D.
What are the most famous side-scrolling games?Hollow Knight, Celeste, Terraria, Dead Cells, and the Ori series are all great starting points.
All side-scrolling games on the site are available for torrent download — sort the list by rating, size, or year of release.
