The lack of direction in this game makes it less fun at least for me. I have no issues with the idea but how hard would it be to put suggested level next to gym leader info on the map so I have some idea of the area I'm even supposed to be in. You can still do open world but I shouldn't have to Google gym leader levels the story should direct me so I don't show up to a gym severely under leveled. I them also check another gym and I'm super over leveled it makes no sense. Sword and sheild were great for the linear paths through story and t routes with the wild areas just expand on that. I really did not enjoy this game.
