The supported evidence is very positive but specific to War Plans, where queued activities warp players directly and reduce map searching.
Pros: fast travel convenience, sound design
Cons: pacing, age appropriateness
Fast travel is strongly praised. Reviews note that players can return to unlocked biomes, skip earlier areas, and keep later runs from becoming too long.
Pros: load times, visual effects quality
Cons: side character depth, map and navigation design
Returning to checkpoints or missions is convenient, and the hub structure makes travel between objectives fairly painless.
Pros: value for money, performance optimization
Cons: companion AI, protagonist appeal
Travel gets easier over time thanks to shortcuts that help connect the world map and revisit earlier areas.
Pros: combat system, boss design
Cons: platforming precision, puzzle design
Fast travel and map movement are useful through outposts, homes, and quick bouncing around the map, though some reviews focus more on driving than fast travel convenience.
Pros: movement feel, cross-play support
Cons: cross-save support, skill tree depth
Player houses doubling as fast travel points should make moving around the large map much easier once they are unlocked.
Pros: exploration quality, open-world design
Cons: world interactivity, learning curve
Fast-travel options are helpful and frequent enough to keep backtracking manageable.
Pros: combat system, graphics quality
Cons: map and navigation design, mission design
Fast travel through Bellways and marked stations helps reduce backtracking, though some stations must be unlocked or paid for.
Pros: value for money, sound design
Cons: loot system, camera behavior
Fast travel convenience was supported only after unlocking points through side missions, making early traversal less convenient.
Pros: cross-play support, gameplay mechanics
Cons: platforming precision, monetization fairness
Fast travel is repeatedly described as inconvenient, sparse, or too dependent on extra steps.
Pros: environmental detail, soundtrack quality
Cons: stealth mechanics, family friendliness
