If you want to put a speed limit, maybe rb.addforce is not the best method because if you are using it in the Update(), it keeps adding force each frame.

Take a look at this : velocity documentation

$$anonymous$$y old movement system was based on this line of code: rb.velocity = new vector(x walk speed, y, z walk speed) this resulted in a lot of issues like my character not being pushed down slopes and there was no line of code that helped me in building up speed over time. @IceShadows21

You can use Character Controller too. This is useful for many problem like slopes, ...

Here is the documentation : link text

and here is a useful video about player movement : link text

Another solution is to use '$$anonymous$$athf.Clamp()'. You can, for example, use this on the velocity of your rigidbody like that :

 rb.velocity = $$anonymous$$athf.Clamp(rb.velocity, 0, 10f);

Here is the documentation : link text

I hope it will help you
