Lost Soul Aside is not an open world game. The early trailers and gameplay reveal might have led many to believe that the game has a wide and expansive open world, but in reality, it offers a much more linear experience. However, there are open-ended areas that you can explore to find secrets, collectibles, and much more.

The main draw is the brilliant graphical fidelity combined with the interesting main campaign story. In this article, we’ll explore how the tighter levels are designed and what the story involves.

The developers dispelled any rumors about the game being open world long before its release. Instead, you follow a tight-knit narrative that does take you through some expansive areas. These open-ended maps allow you the freedom to go off the beaten track and explore a bit, but you can’t go off exploring a huge map with lots of points of interest, like in an open world game.

However, there are plenty of platforming opportunities in the game. Arena, your dragon companion, will lend you their traversal abilities. These will enable you to glide, jump, fly, and even use a crystal hoverboard to travel across different areas. You might compare the scope of the maps to those of the recent God of War games, where you had plenty of opportunity to explore without it ever taking the form of an open world title.
