Climb the tower
BETON BRUTAL is a first person parkour game which tries to replicate and build upon the parkour mechanics seen in Minecraft.
Your goal is to climb a massive overgrown concrete tower which offers multiple stages of increasing difficulty.
Watch your step
Beware, a single misstep might cost you a lot of progress as there are no checkpoints whatsoever.
The course is however riddled with shortcuts which, when spotted, can save a lot of time and frustration.
Vertigo
If things get too stressful feel free to rest for a moment and take in your surroundings, just make sure to not peek over the edge too much.

The movement and mechanics are easily some of the greatest ever introduced in a platforming game, buttery smooth.
The levels are very intricate and have plenty of short cuts to be discovered.
The falling in this game paired with trying to 100% the game made for the most soul crushing gaming experience of my life. I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in parkour and a high pain tolerance, because you will fall and it will physically and mentally test your sanity.

Beton brutale is a 3d foddian game inspired by minecraft parkour.
The control are fairly simple to learn, but the different kind of special block and obstacle are the thing that will make it hard to master.
The map is really well made, Fall aren't usually too punishing and there is a lots of safe-ish section for hard part and easy section for transition with more punishment if failed.
The base game contain two map, and there is a dlc with an additional map that is also really good but more punishing.
I would highly recommend this foddian game as it's one of the best 3d one.

While playing this game, my entire nervous system turned into reenforced depleted uranium steel rebar. My shoulders were thighter than Lizzo's panties and my buttcheeks were clenched so hard I created a black hole in mine. When I inevitably fell after climbing for what felt like hours, I'm surprised I didn't send my PC straight to Nirvana. (The place, not the band).

Minecraft parkour and beyond. Great movement game, comes with a level editor, leaderboard, replays, and lots of custom content.

I've just finished my first ever run of the game, and I have quite a lot to say about it.
TL;DR: F***ing phenomenal. If it catches your eye it is worth way more than the asking price.
BETON BRUTAL is a Love-Letter to everything that made Minecraft parkour good. The major difference from MC being simple: the obstacles are not locked at 90 degrees of rotation. Nearly every mechanic introduced in the base game can be traced back to its MC origins; Ladders, scaffolding, slime blocks (trampolines), the list goes on. I won’t spoil too much, as part of the fun is making your way up the tower and being introduced to increasingly difficult obstacles. Each 100M of this 500M tower will feature a brand-new obstacle for you to sink your teeth into. All of these mechanics are refined enough to encourage the fact that every fall is your fault.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room, but promise me that you’ll hear me out… at least until the end of this paragraph. This game has no checkpoints, and is entirely vertical. Sound familiar? If you had flashbacks to Getting Over It, Only Up, Chained Together, or even Sexy Hiking… forget the fears. Each of these games relies on their own gimmick to be interesting, but none have achieved being fun… until now. Where this game shines is giving you the tools/shortcuts to quickly make it back to where you fell. Each fall allows you to learn the map and mechanics in a greater depth, often finding new tricks at the higher levels that can assist you at the lower ones. The level design is beyond phenomenal.
Visuals and audio have an amazing vibe. As one reviewer said, “It’s lonely and I like it here.” If you are a fan of the “Liminal” aesthetic, this is the game for you. Graphically, it's a treat to look at too. A closer look at the textures reveals some pixels, but in my opinion this only adds to the style of the game (and the homage to MC). The water looks great, the lighting looks great, and the game runs as smooth as butter. I can’t go through this section without talking about the horror elements, though. The game will (depending on your “Vertigo”) add light elements of environmental/psychological horror. Some have found this intrusive, I found it immersive. Thankfully, there is an option to turn this off in the settings if it isn’t your thing.
If the base game doesn’t offer enough, the game has a small but thriving Workshop community with VERY talented creators. The workshop implementation and map editor could use some work, but ultimately it adds an infinite amount of replayability to the game, and some of the maps on show have matched the quality of the base-game maps (shoutout to evan).
All of this leaves me with one question: why… oh why did this game not BLOW UP? Why did streamers and youtubers flock to much clunkier, subpar, frustrating, and disjointed games instead of this? It leaves a sour taste in my mouth how little known this game is, because it deserves to be among the top of the “rage games” genre. It solves every problem with those types of games, while still maintaining the punishing nature and philosophical mentality. Not only that, but this game looks visually better than Minecraft parkour. Why did PNGtubers or TikTok people not use this game as gameplay for their attention-span robbing videos? It is the game everyone has been looking for, but nobody has found yet.
If my review made you even think about buying BETON BRUTAL, try it. It is 100% worth your time. This is a game that rewards your skill, and nothing more than your skill. No gimmicks.
I don’t think I’ve ever said this, but this game is a 10/10 in my mind. As close to perfection as a precision platformer can get.
