I've not actually played SwSh, but I've watched some gameplay and read a lot of discussions about it. These are the main things I've heard:
>empty towns; locations look nice, but there's nothing to do
>empty routes; just pathways connecting the towns
>short caves
>reused animations from Gen 7 even though they'd cut out a lot of Pokémon
>lazy attack animations
>Pokémon in the wild area "pop in" very close to you, ruining the illusion that they actually roam around there
>lazy movement animations; Pokémon in the overworld spin in place to change direction
>a lot of the plot is handled by NPCs instead of you
>no postgame
There might be more, but that's all I can think of now. Again, I haven't played Gen 8, but I definitely believe that it was massively rushed in order to be on the shelves in time for Christmas. The cash grab is more important than giving fans a good game.
