Flight would be my super power of choice so Ive been partial to games that implement it. I even picked up the hot mess that was Superman 64 as a kid solely because it had flying.

The way Control implements it feels like they nailed it feeling powerful but not too OP. It could easily get cheesy but having a limited amount of time is a good nerf, imo.

It also just looks cool with the way Remedy added the air flexung around Jesse as she takes off. Like Neo in the Matrix. The particle effects give weight to it in a way that just looks and feels good. Its honestly my favorite game that has implemented a flying mechanic.

On a related note I wonder if we'll ever get a good Superman game.

    Picking flying over immortality as a superpower of choice is a noob decision!

    I liked the wingsuit flying in Just Cause 3, particularly when you get the engines add-on and can just take off and fly straight from ground level, without having to find a tall cliff or bridge to leap off.

    Good, fun game, that. Best Steam Sale impulse purchase game in my library – £5 well-spent.
