With Pokemon Sword/Shield, players can finally explore an open world of sorts through the Wild Area. Just how big is that land? Sizable enough that it’s comparable to Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

In a preview today, Metro says that a Pokemon Company representative on hand for its play session estimated was about the size of two regions from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As previously mentioned, you have full control of the camera, and can encounter a variety of Pokemon – some of which may be of much higher level than where you’re currently at.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are introducing the Wild Area. The free-roaming environment lets players explore 3D landscape with complete camera control. You’ll run into many kinds of Pokemon here, some of which could cause a whole lot of trouble.

Much like with Xenoblade, it will now be possible to run into “drastically overleveled” Pokemon, Eurogamer reports. That means you could be early on in the story, only to encounter a creature at level 50. This is the first time Pokemon has really explored such gameplay design.

Little Town Hero is the most deceptive game I’ve ever reviewed. On the surface, it doesn’t look all that intimidating – this original RPG from Game Freak features a lighthearted story and cartoonish visuals, even claiming to be built with “the busy gamer in mind.” All that considered, it makes itself out to be a charming little experience. Yet beneath this welcoming veneer lies an extremely strategic combat system whose depth and complexity will likely prove overwhelming for all but the most seasoned roleplaying veterans. It’s vastly rewarding for those willing to dive deep into its dense mechanics, but for anyone looking for the lighter experience that the game makes itself out to be, then they might be let down.
