The traversal mechanic feels so good and is so fun to master. A few brief things before I get into specifics. This is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and I don't say that lightly. This fluidity doesn't translate well to keyboard (at least in my opinion). Your bow and arrow autolocks on to targets and it feels extremely fluid and natural with a controller.
