What gameplay systems or game mechanics do you enjoy?

I love fluid movement. Doing things in a state machine is usually the way to go in 2d platformers, which is what I mainly make. I like when your character can move around without issue, so double jump, sliding, rolling, attacking etc.
In a broader sense, the best games are fun to simply exist in. 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.
