I'm playing through God of War (2018) now and every time i have to climb it's just like "ugh, point the stick in random directions and mash circle here we go".

has it ever been done in a way such that it's actually fun?

The only climbing I ever found fun was on old platformers where you have to time wall jumps. Games like God of War and Tomb Raider etc. are ugh.

Climbing was the worst part of the game. Good luck if it starts to rain.

good call on that one. navigating how to climb was part of the "puzzle" and with limited grip it was actually (somewhat of) a challenge.

i disagree about BotW climbing being fun

Alternate with coffeebreaks. It'll settle into a routine pretty quickly.

Assassin's Creed can be good. A lot or the time it ends up being a case of holding down a button and pushing forward but sometimes you'll get a building or area that requires actual thought and those are a lot of fun.

I never made it to the top of the temple in Shadow of the Colossus even though I had enough stamina. Was way too hard. The climbing mechanic was good though.

occasionally it was fun but most of it was "press joystick in this direction and then press A when prompted to do so"

oh yeah assassin's creed can be pretty fun too now that it's more fluid. Though you're not really doing anything but holding run and holding up

yup and IIRC it was impossible to fail. so even if you couldn't see which platform they wanted you to jump to just rotate the left stick and mash the jump button. yawn.

it's funny that one of the worst parts of the new spider-man game is the climbing mechanics. you can't even climb down a wall to the ground in a proper way whereas spider-man 2 had a nice flipping animation.

anyways new tomb raider trilogy with non-linear climbing that doesn't feel tedious.
