It's honestly not great, but it directly addressed three of my least favorite things in Sword and Shield. Battles aren't in creepy detail free voids, there's actual shit to do besides just gyms and raids and the free roaming area feels expansive enough where it actually matters, more like Legends Arceus.
But some things are worse, like now that Pokemon crowd around each other, there's that common issue of getting linked into multiple battles in a row wether you want it or not. Free roaming is ultimately a half realized feature without scaling gyms/bosses/titans, specially since Pokemon still won't listen to you based on level, so you can't even over-grind and work backwards unless you just use your starter. Also raids still just aren't fun even if the song is good.
