im getting tired with how every such action game and souls clone is linear. people cant even make ds2-style game worlds anymore, let alone ds1-style
i wish people at least made it something neat like Sekiro. I loved the path into the ashina castle as a central location, where it opened up in 3 directions and you could do them in the order you wanted, two of which before you even climb up the castle if you really want. Or Blasphemous for example, where even though its an "A to B, A to C then A to D" scenario in both of its halves, theres cool stuff going for it and sometimes decent interconnection

I remember being pissed off with DS3's map because of pic related, and then it seems like future games outright got even more railroaded with even less feeling of good branching paths. When are we ever gonna get more maps like Dark Souls 1 and Hollow Knight for this style of action-adventure game? (bar silksong*) (*: game doesnt exist)

>Souls games get more complex and reinvent themselves in ways that alienate tourists
i appreciate fromsoft for making their own very different spins on things (except in ds3) but i really wouldnt say its getting strictly 'more complex'
