    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.

    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.

      Okay this is a little off script since it's not an open world game, but if you're only looking for satisfying movement you should take a look at Neon White. Just be warned that the writing is... on the cringier side. But that doesn't really matter in the end.

        The movement in Sunset Overdrive is amazing and I think was the base for the movement in Spiderman since it's made by the same developer. I preferred the movement in Sunset Overdrive, personally.

        You have to get to the point that you get the air dash for it to be smooth and you can chain together your parkour movement across the entire city

        The humour is a bit divisive/hit or miss though and the open world is a little dead by today's standards.

          Ooh, I wasn't thinking of first-person games, but that does look pretty gnarly.

            Steep (snowboarding, skiing, paragliding, wingsuiting) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (fast travel is an option, but come on, enjoy that ride!) are the two that I really enjoy.

              Ah, maybe that's the missing ingredient. Pretty sure I don't have that yet. I fucked off from the main story almost immediately to go find balloons and such.

                There's so much I want to like about Warframe, but last time I tried it I couldn't get any sense of what a new player's supposed to do to start progressing, or to get the story in a comprehensible way. The build timers also made me sad. I got all the parts, just give me the Rhino.

                Still though, "We All Lift Together" is a certified banger.

                  Not all open world, but:

                  • Dying Light 1 has a really fun parkour movement system (haven't played Dying Light 2)
                  • Ghostrunner, also kind of parkour-based, really gets you into a flow state once you get the hang of the movement
                  • Vanquish is always pretty satisfying IMO, both movement and combat
                  • Jet Set Radio or its spiritual successor, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (different dev, same idea) are really fun, especially with friends
                  • The remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty damn good

                    Loved Steep and have tons of hours on it. However, my issue with it is that it is a purchase for a single playthrough: there's no way to start over. I didn't play in years, mostly forgot how to play and would like to have a few tutorials, rediscover the open world again, etc.

                      Just Cause series is great for that, JC3 being an absolute joy of free movement. I used to spend hours just gliding with grappling hook and fly suit.

                        I saw that one thrown around when I was searching before. I wouldn't really be playing it for the story, but as long as the story's there, should I be familiar with the first two?

                          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.

                            Fair point. I've played it on and off for years now, and I still have no fucking clue where the game wants me to go (although it's a lot better now than it used to be). The storyline is... complex to say the least, and the game doesn't do much to drive you an particular direction. Progression is also lateral, not vertical, so while you have a wide variety of options and directions to explore, they can be shallow and overwhelming at the same time.

                            On the plus side of that, every time I come back, it's like a new game, but with the same combat / movement that got me addicted back when it was nothing but grind.

                            And agreed - their music production is definitely spot-on.

                              Honestly, there's nothing you can really miss IMO, the game presents everyone and everything in a nice and smooth way and you won't ever be lost.

                                  I tried it years ago and soon saw that you need to start paying or progress gets difficult. Immediately deleted it.

                                    I've played the first Mirrors Edge to like 75% maybe three times over the years since it released. I just started downloading the second today. Do you think it is I'll advised to skip the last quarter of the first? It has been a while since I played it and I feel like I would burn out again.

                                    Great game. I think it's me.

                                      Yeah you definitely need it for the movement to flow. I've seen a lot of comments lamenting that they took too long to introduce it.

                                        Echo Point Nova. Super fast and fun. Hoverboard, Wallrides, grapple, etc are all here.

                                        I came here to recommend this, too. This game lets you really hit a nice vibe with the movement. Has co-op, too!

                                          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.

                                          if you haven't, please play just cause 3. it is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made and the entire premise is: ok here's your grappling hook, parachute, wingsuit, bombs, and guns, now go blow up every thing and/or person with red on it. there is a story (and it's decent) but who cares, you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.
