I like when your character can move around without issue, so double jump, sliding, rolling, attacking etc.

Getting from point A to point B should be interesting from a movement perspective. Mario Odyssey is a great example. Just parkour’ing around is a blast. BotW has shield surfing and such. Lots of shooters have a bunny hop mechanic. Wave-dashing in Celeste. Etc etc.
