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.

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.
