>>52133807best looking classic-style top-down grid games to date. shiny hunting was good in it or so I hear. canon Green.
it’s a deliberately piss-easy and surface-level entry that unfortunately gives us a glimpse at how good the games we get could look if they weren’t committed to the free camera open-world style.
haven’t played S/V yet but at least they look like a significant step towards making that approach something actually valid, unlike whatever SwSh were supposed to be (although I hear the DLCs were better).
they’ve still got a lot of work to do to convince people that the games they’re making now, this new style, hell even just the jump to 3D, was justified. it’ll be a while I think before we can reasonably compare a 3D entry to Gen. V, Platinum, or HGSS.
