That would be an amazing comeback for the series. But I don't think it's unrealistic. Skyward Sword was the most linear game so far and it was the lowest scoring mainline game with a 93, so I can see a fully open world game bringing the series back that glory. But yeah, the notion that all games must be open world in order to be good now is insanely inaccurate. I feel like implementing an open world can sometimes bring a game's potential down, actually. Some games benefit from it, others don't. Reviewers need to realize that. |
That's a great point. Take Arkham City for example. I think that Arkham Asylum worked perfectly as a Metroidvania. The open world, at least for me, detracted from the experience.
In general it's disappointing that so man "AAA" titles are military shooters or open-world action games. There are so many more genres and mechanics out there.
