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.

Such a great post and 100% what I'm talking about. The last Batman game I played and ejoyed was AA. AC's open world ruined the genre for me and I tried playing it like three different times just don't enjoy the game as an open world game.
