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.

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.

UnbrokenTaco,

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.

I got annoyed when they sent me to the swamps to turn off some psy antennas. Felt like too much distance between each antenna, psy storms would happen very often and there wasn’t anything to hide in to wait out the storm. Managed to get that last antenna off and now the objective is another long walk across the map, right through an area crawling with bloodsuckers. I’m fine with the long walks, I know fast travel is available for certain points on the map and I use it when I can. But man, I just can’t comprehend why bloodsuckers are everywhere in this game and why they take so much ammo to take down. Dropped the game and have been playing the mass effect trilogy

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
Chesckers,

Unfortunately Jet Set is not sold on steam anymore

gonzo-rand19,

Ah, damn. I did buy it many years ago, but it's unfortunate that new users can't access it.

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.

@Apeman42@lemmy.world avatar

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?

ka1ikasan,

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.

unknown1234_5,

anything that matters in that game is introduced or explained in it.

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.

VerseAndVermin,

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 ill 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.

Sunsofold,

I absolutely LOVED Mirror’s Edge. That feeling of hitting flow in game and out of game as you just move smoothly from point to point was just amazing. I played originally on PS2 and almost got the plat trophy. I loved trying not only to find the fastest path but the smoothest, the weirdest, the pacifist, etc. It was great.

Then I tried 2 for like 5 seconds before I dropped it. It immediately felt like a betrayal of the first game. I hated the UI. I hated the color grade. I hated the style. I hated what seemed like a turn toward the violent.

MrScottyTay,

Mirrors edge wasn’t on ps2… Was that a typo intending to be ps3 instead?

Was also coming in to recommend mirrors edge, what a great game.

nogooduser,

Dying Light, the zombie parkour game was also good and had great movement mechanics.

rbits, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

I hope they’re not seriously considering locking option 2 behind a paywall. IMO that should be a required feature for all platforms, and should be free. If I buy a game at a specific version, I should always be able to play that version.

rbits, do games w Mini Metro -- surprisingly simple but compelling game mechanics and fantastic UI design

I wish Mini Motorways was on Android. I like it a lot better than Mini Metro, but it’s the kind of game I want to play on my phone. Goddamn Apple Arcade exclusivity deals :(

Woo another one!

So many good games are coming out on the coat tails of the switch 2. And a majority of them work with the steam deck.

Really curious as to why River City Girls isn’t going to be available in Australia in particular; as far as I can see, it hasn’t been refused classification (banned) here?

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I’m unsure, but the last game on the blacklist for your country for giveaway was F1 Manager 20X (the ‘X’ means I can’t remember its year…2024? 2023?) - really recently. And then 6 days afterwards it was offered for claiming in Australia (edit: AND Brazil, by memory. This was maybe 3 weeks ago?).

So…there’s a snowball chance in Hell that maybe it still will? Maybe?

thatKamGuy,

Yeah - we are a strange, strange place at times. We’re a schizophrenic-nation; half-nanny state, half lawless wasteland! 😅

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.

I can’t even play JC4 because JC3 was just so good. Why the hell did they change the formula in 4? The missions are boring as hell in 4. They kept the “fight these guys,” “open these doors,” “release these prisoner” missions, but I have yet to be tasked with destroying, well, anything. 😮‍💨

The only thing in 4 I liked more than 3 was that the rocket things you can stick on stuff can be used multiple times and don’t automatically explode, so you can use them to fly a car without fear of blowing up.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

JC3 is fun to just spend hours dicking around in, or seriously investing it with the gameplay. It’s honestly amazing how good of a game they made around the concept of “blow up some shit, and then blow up some more shit”

@lime@feddit.nu avatar

the story is much better in jc2 but it’s so hard to go back to with how well executed the movement was in 3. it’s a shame they skimped on the writing.

like, the final boss in 2 is a fist fight on a flying cluster of ICBMs. the final boss in 3 is… a helicopter.

unknown1234_5,

yeah the story isn't amazing but everything else is the best ever made

PmMeFrogMemes,

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

A new game just came out on steam called Haste that’s all about fluid movement. I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit.

Can confirm it was a bit rough scrolling this in Boost, but interesting nonetheless. I feel like I remember Croc, but not very well.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, its an odd thing. In the last one of these I posted a user said they raised the issue with the Dev, so a fix on this is being pushed out.

Weirdly through Thunder or Jerboa or the webpage its snappy and no lag though. So seems specific to Boost :)

dalakkin,

It’s fixed in the new version that’s being rolled out now. I had no problems at all with this post.

Thanks for that link to The Gaming Emporium… so many projects to try out!

Played a few hours of Last of Us 2 last night. Ran pretty well (80-100fps) on highest settings in native 1440p but with a 7900 XTX I can of course just brute force through it.

Surprisingly, the game ran flawlessly out of the box. Didn’t need to add the SteamDeck=1 variable like in the other newer Sony games.

Does not run with Proton-Tkg for some reason, so no HDR for now.
