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.

    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

        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.
