When jumping over obstacles is one of the main actions, challenges, or mechanics of the game.

3D platformers challenge players to navigate intricate levels by running, jumping, climbing, and sometimes combat, often with an emphasis on creative movement abilities and collectibles. Camera perspective is typically third-person to provide a clear view of the character's position in the environment. Objectives may include reaching the end of each stage, defeating bosses, gathering items, or unlocking secrets through thorough exploration and deft platforming skills.

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
