"Raising the Bar: Why AAA Games Must Improve Traversal"

In a recent episode of Extra Punctuation, Yahtzee discusses the need for AAA games to improve their traversal mechanics. While epic-scale RPGs like Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 focus on long-term goals and grand narratives, Yahtzee argues that having a strong primary gameplay loop is still important. He suggests that incorporating more engaging traversal options, such as riding a motorbike in Baldur's Gate, could enhance the overall gaming experience.
