The ugly designs, boring gameplay, and especially empty map makes me hate it. I even enjoyed Sword and Shield’s linear game play with the Wild area more than I enjoyed open world Scarlett.
Sword and shield having curated routes that opened every now and then to the open wild area was a better design concept going forward rather than throwing away curated levels entirely in SV. Sword and shield just executed it awfully
Gen 9 should’ve stayed like SwSh but the whole region should’ve been like the DLC areas. There were still routes but the camera wasn’t fixed there. I think that was the perfect mix between open world and the old routes. It also would’ve given them time to hammer out issues with the open world formula that are present in SV
