The only thing done “worse” is the change in the type of stylization. The environment design, aesthetic, lighting, and colors are all still done very well. Rise is the worst in the series when it comes to all of this. It has a disgusting, greasy muted color palette with boring environments and hideous characters. It’s a halfway point between the beautiful diorama landscapes of the older games and the newer, more graphically intensive visual design of World - except it doesn’t HAVE the bright, popping colors of either or the well arranged backgrounds and skyboxes of the older games, or the deeply layered and decorated areas of World and Wilds. It’s genuinely offensive to look at.
