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.

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.
