I don't feel comfortable without a Sprint.
That said, I don't know why they have made this decision, since if they are followers from the first trailer of the game, they will know perfectly well that this game had sprint.
Mobility, although it can be improved in the game, is not enough for me, exploring interiors and exteriors alike seems slow and heavy for me. It's not that I want to do everything fast, I just don't feel with that "freedom" of movement
It has destroyed my mind to realize this, and you too :s

The game has automatic sprinting, you can't really walk. But for some reason the developers decided to lock a decent feeling movement speed behind an upgrade.
Edit: You can get the movement speed upgrade early on though. Doom games for example don't have sprint. You get used to it, it's not really necessary for this title.

Yeah it’s sucks. Needs the default run speed to be the fastest you can move with the stick, then a deticated sprint that is a bit faster than the upgraded run it has now.

I could have sworn when I started the game I could sprint with L3. Also the wanted level used to only show when using the scanner now it’s on all the time.
I think inside facilities the upgraded movement speed makes sense, but in the open world it can feel quite slow. And the cars seem to break down magically after 5 seconds so they aren't much fun to drive.

I also recall sprinting at the game start. That's probably why I remember being so put off when suddenly my sprint just resulted in one dash. Just one of the many minor oversights in terms of good game design.

You'll get use to it as you play tbh. I thought it was gonna be bad without a sprint but been doing fine without one. Once you get the movement speed upgrade and an extra dodge you'll be dancing around all over the place.

Thank you so I’m not going crazy lol. I think it was the outside area at the start before the first complex and I was able to sprint. Curious is L3 button used later for something? I’m about 10 hours in and it’s still an unused button.
In the intro I believe when I pressed shift, I remember moving faster. I'm not 100% sure though. After intro shift was dash. I don't know how controller keybindings are.

I think the bigger issue is that stealth exists, yet there is no way to move faster when crouched so if you try to stealth, it'll drive you mad :D

Stealth may be there but theres nothing stealthy about this game to be honest. No stealth skills so I just zoom everywhere
