What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

It's also a beautiful game. I would spend hours just zipping around and taking in the scenery. Thanks for the reminder that I need to replay JC3

I want to grapple, glide, wall run, etc around a big open world. What are some games you think are fun for that?
I picked up Sunset Overdrive on a sale, and the rail grinding is fine I guess, but it's just not clicking with me.
This one is slightly less on target, but I'm really intrigued by a free demo I found this week called Exo Rally Championship. It's a rally car game, but set in exotic little exoplanetary environments. The movement looks really interesting especially because you're not just in a low-grav setting, you also have 360⁰ jets you can use to assist in steering or course-correction midair.

Unfortunately Jet Set is not sold on steam anymore
BRC is an incredible replacement though. It's not quite the same as OG Jet Set Radio, and I think that's okay, but it is very clearly walking around with JSR's bones inside. Besides which it has probably my favorite video game soundtrack from the past decade.

Dying Light's movement is phenomenal, a must play IMO due to its awesome parkour movement systten.

I'd also say 2 is worth it. Not as good as 3 but still a load of fun... Ah man, I might have to reinstall, I almost forgot about it until you said this!

Dying Light 2 has the best traversal I've seen in an open world, it had a very solid base coming from the original but it expanded it with new moves and tools.

Tchia - it is a relaxing game, but I enjoyed it when I needed a break from intense games or intense life.
You can sail a boat, swim, glide, slide down hills, flip through the air AND transform into object and animals. When you are an object you can hop and throw yourself. When you are an animal you can do whatever they do, fly swim, run, see in the dark, poop on people, break coconuts, and more.

Not quite open world but I really like the movement in Crab Champions

Warframe has some of the best movement in a game ever. Not exactly an MMORPG, not exactly Open World, but definitely space ninjas on crack.
Also, it can be played completely free. There is a paid currency model (platinum), but it's tradeable between players (so you can trade items and earn Platinum), and most non-cosmetic items are obtainable through gameplay.
It's been around since the early 2010s but keeps evolving and manages outperform AAA titles on the regular. If you like high fantasy sci-fi cosmic horror madness on drugs that won't be invented for another 100 centuries or so, give it a shot.
Also came to suggest Warframe, but u beat me to it
yeah it's slow to get going.. but that's the cool thing about it. You can drop it when it gets tedious and come back when you feel like it. Imho the long crafting times are good, it means you have to come back in 3 days and have something to look forward to. And instant gratification can get boring, so I really like the pacing. -

I would recommend Mad Max on Steam. It is a great open world game with much freedom of movement. Obviously, you will do more driving than walking, but the driving feels very satisfying.
The combat is mostly in Batman-style group brawls, where you have to dodge/block when a prompt appears over an enemy's head.

Why not go to the original? Mirror's Edge (2008) has still probably the best first person movement of any game. Unlike it's sequel, It's not an open world, but many cited it as a plus, since the levels still feel free but very well designed asking you to sprint through - and nearly the whole game you just run and climb with very few interruptions.
I recently learned that Mirror's Edge was written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Terry Prachett.
