5 Inventive Gameplay Features Painfully Ignored by Other Developers

Flow Motion (Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance)

Though the series has seen plenty of changes and variations on its gameplay over the years, few changes have redefined Kingdom Hearts the way Flow Motion did in Dream Drop Distance.

Through this mechanic, Sora and Riku gain the ability to rocket across environments in lightning fast, anime-esque fashion. Sprawling cityscapes can be covered in no time flat, either by sliding along rails, bouncing off of walls or launching hundreds of feet into the air.

There are some titles that might not be able to incorporate this into their gameplay, but others could become infinitely more fun with a Flow Motion-like traversal mechanic. Sadly, none have taken the leap yet, leaving players to stay grounded in boring, traditional fashion.
