@Rogueliker I did not know Cruelty Squad had a grappling hook. Added, thanks!

Great list! Immortals of Aveum has what is a grappling hook in all but name and appearance; it's a "magical tether" that does traversal and can also grab and pull enemies (or pull you toward big enemies). Also FYI Monster Hunter Rise is on this list twice.

Oh also there's the tether in Bulletstorm but IIRC it isn't used in traversal, only combat. Maybe stretching the definition? Also Gunpoint is on here twice haha <3

@cowboyjosh Just added both suggestions and removed the 2nd instance of Gunpoint, thanks for pointing that out!
