paperwarior 11/22/21 6:03:55 PM #2:	Ratchet & Clank has good ones, either for swinging or pulling you to a point. It originally was a tool you equipped but became a context action as the series went on. In the PS5 game it's very fast and responsive, and used for the teleportation and area portal mechanics as well. Ghost of Tsushima's is somewhat limited in what it can be used on but is still both useful and enjoyable to use. In multiplayer Survival it's great for speeding across the map to reach an area or allies that are under attack. --- "God Hand is the ultimate expression of the joy of humanity, specifically the punching part of the joy of humanity."-Shigeru Miyamoto <cite>paperwarior posted [p:960251749] in Hookshots ...
