On the second episode of Spot On, GameSpot’s topical news show featuring managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James, we’re talking about open-world games. Specifially, whether publisher and developers need to be making them.
Open world games are a big investment from both developers and players, but have they evolved significantly enough to warrant these investments? Games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which was awarded a 10/10 in GameSpot’s review, meaningfully adds to the genre, but games like it are few and far in between. This begs the question, should games be smaller?
GameSpot has a number of new shows on YouTube for you to check out. If you haven’t already seen it, check out GameSpot’s History of Legend of Zelda video here.
