Alternate name: Jumping Deficient

This also includes games where jumping is limited to certain specific locations (a bit like opening a door, instead, you jump over or across something).

First and third person shooters as well as action-adventures normally have jumping, so they're good candidates. Platformers by definition should have jumping, but some don't, often replacing it with some other mechanic that still keeps the game a platformer.

Conversely: adventure (including survival horror), anything using grids, simulation, tactical shooters nor anything with top-down perspective (especially 90 degree view angle down) don't normally have jumping.
