Movement abilities will always be the best abilities in games


Which are the best abilities in any game? Correct: movement abilities.

Now, you're a giant monkey that can climb along vines, or a strange otter that can slip through water at speed; now, you're a fairy that can piggyback wind currents like jet streams. Or what about an action role-playing game like Diablo 3 or 4, where it doesn't so much matter how fast you move as how hard you hit, and yet, high-level players do all they can to tear around like pinballs. Look at the basics of Split-Fiction's movement and see how many of these things you recognise from other games: a double-jump, a dash, a wall run, a grappling hook.
