If you were looking for a minimalist Mirror's Edge where you fight robots with a chainsaw, I do have to wonder just how long you've been looking for that, but boy do I have good news for you. Parkour action game Motorslice is exactly that, and its Steam Next Fest demo is extremely promising – so much so that a sudden, severe, and throbbing headache couldn't pull me away from it. "Fun enough to offset a migraine for a little bit" is pretty auspicious in my book.
On Steam, developer Regular Studio says it was "inspired by Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge and Shadow of the Colossus" as it set about assembling a third-person parkour adventure where a girl named P tears up a machine-inhabited "megastructure." It's a contemplative romp through liminal spaces broken up by heart-pumping shots of vertigo and unflinching one-hit deaths. Meat Boy, but less blood and more vibes.
