Best free "side view" games
Play games defined by keyword "side view" sorted by user rating.
VISUAL - In gaming, a side view means you see the action from a lateral perspective, as if watching the character from the side. The game world is typically displayed on a flat plane, and movement usually occurs left and right, with occasional vertical elements like jumping or climbing. This perspective emphasizes timing, positioning, and platforming challenges, letting players focus on navigating obstacles, avoiding enemies, and performing precise actions. It’s the classic viewpoint for platformers, beat ’em ups, and many 2D action games, offering a clear and straightforward way to experience the game world.
