my favorite movin around games

Games where I really just vibed with how you move around and also the game itself is great. Personal preferences and recommendations.

a skating game that looks like a platformer. then its a racecourse!

SSX

good rewind feature to practice tricks, fun weird online metagame where you can learn from online ghosts you friendly-compete with, incredibly dubstep soundtrack
sliding on power lines and gliding down
i think it might be a better game than the first but i hate the plot so much more
Absolutely the right blend of freedom, chaos, and stuff to do.
mastering the gliding in this wasn't required really but it was a ton of fun
basically tiny bird in space, but also tiny bird was a ton of fun so
the sequels never got it right.
a sick dash attack that i still think about
Open world, superhero, chain together jumps and glide to slam down on a tank.
not my favorite saints row but the best movement in saints row
the mounts are incredible
mega-hardcore, but this like gold star in movement for a platformer.
Big chunky steps. Sliding down a hill. Carefully maintaining your balance. Finding ziplines another player put down and zipping across mountains.
Unfortunately, the vibes here are horror and danger which really gets in the way of pure unimpeded movement, but there are plenty of peaceful routes too.
Climbing up a wall and measuring your stamina. Building a glider and leaping off of it to parasail while timing your wind gust ability. Racing your freefall for a quest. Parachuting into a chasm while the light disappears and the music hits an ominous chord.
