Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003)

The original 2003 console and PC adventure introduces its acrobatics through an opening route of ledges, wall runs and jumps, with button prompts tied to the next obstacle. You repeat a useful action as the architecture becomes more demanding, so movement has a purpose before combinations grow longer. Rewind is introduced as the adventure develops; it is not a safety net for every opening attempt. Camera angles and falls can still make learning awkward.
