Some games from the past play a lot worse in hindsight than others. What recent, decently-liked video games do you expect to suffer this curse?

    Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Genuinely good things in its favor but the exploration/traversal is utter trash. The absolute second Open Wolrd stops being a buzzword, this will be a casualty

      Damn, you beat me to naming Scarlet and violet, but my reason is because it has too much zoomer slang.

      “Flex on” “L” “cringy”, and there’s pokemon with “smol” and “chonk” in their names. If gen ten has a fucking Skibidi toilet pokemon, I’m going to snap.

      Agreed, but in a different way. I feel like Pokémon will create better open worlds in the next few years, making S/V feel last gen and dated.
