![]() In Scarlet and Violet I felt so alone in the game that I didn’t get the feeling it was an open world at all. ![]() Every town has different items as well, such as fire arrows being available for purchase at the Curious Quiver in Kakariko Village and Ice Arrows being available in Gerudo Town. You can go inside shops and meet more NPCs and buy items. Going into towns is an incredible experience every time, as every town has a unique look and feel. ![]() You often run into other NPCs, many of which are seen traveling to other towns. When playing Breath of the Wild there are enemies everywhere. Unlike in Breath of the Wild where a skilled player can use dodging mechanics, cooked meals, and a plethora of weapons to defeat enemies of any type, Pokemon’s turn-based design requires players to grind and have their team at a certain level to have success. If you did somehow get there, the Pokemon used by the leader are at least at level 44. It would be impossible for any player to have challenged the Psychic gym in Alfornada first because you can’t swim to the path needed or climb up the very high mountain blocking it. There is also the issue of level-scaling found in gyms and Team Star bases. So if I had wanted to complete the Victory Road storyline and focus on getting gym badges first, I wouldn’t be able to do so without also going back and forth between the Titans path. In order to get those abilities I did have to complete tasks in the game from the Path of Titans. There were many locations in the game I could not get to because my ride Pokémon, Koraidon, did not have the ability to jump high enough, climb at all, or swim at all in the beginning of the game. Then there is challenging Team Star, a band of disgruntled students which act as the antagonist group for this generation. There is the Path of Titans, where you defeat larger sized Pokémon in order to level up your ride Pokémon and earn abilities. Victory Road is where you challenge gym leaders and earn badges so you can conquer the Elite Four and become the champion. There are three unique storylines you can choose to tackle in any order: Victory Road, Path of Titans, and Team Star. Looking out from this watchtower you can’t see any NPCs or Pokémon. Scarlet and Violet unfortunately do not have that same element of being an open world game. There is a lengthy tutorial where you can’t leave the Great Plateau, but after that point you truly can go anywhere in the game. However, you can cook as many meals needed in order to keep replenishing your stamina early on in the game. Sure, there are steep hills and ridges to climb that are difficult to do without a lot of stamina unlocked from solving Ancient Sheikah Shrines. Breath of the Wild is a great example of an open world game. No areas should be inaccessible or hidden behind a mechanic that you need to unlock from previous effort. How does Scarlet and Violet stack up to other open world games, such as Breath of the Wild? Do the new features added to the ninth generation of the franchise improve the game and leave fans satisfied? In this review, you will find that it was a little hit and miss for me.Ī true gamer’s definition of being an open world game means that from the beginning, you can truly and freely travel anywhere in the game. Previous entries, such as Sword and Shield and this year’s Legends: Arceushad some elements of being an open world game, but the plot of the games were still very linear. Later, Nintendo announced that the games would be Pokémon’s first adventure in an open world videogame. The new region, known as Paldea, was being based on Spain and looked very vibrant. Upon first impressions, the starters were very well received as being cute. ![]() ![]() The latest generation in the series got announced that day in a special Pokémon Presents video showcasing the colors of scarlet and violet, as well as the starters. On FebruPokémon fans around the world rejoiced. ![]()
