As I get older, I notice that the open world formula is tiring! I much prefer a linear game told well than the same game with add-ons.

I was looking forward to Days Gone. I haven't had it spoiled for me, so I picked it up and when I realized it was open world, it killed my enthusiasm for it.

I just can't go hours on end forever just because.

For me, open worlds are almost a Nay! I've heard great things about Days Gone, and I want to play it, but the amount of time it will take to go through the story, because it's open world, I don't know. I get tired just to think about it.

What about you? Do you enjoy open-world games? Do you seek them?

Depends on the game, but overall yay. Some of my favorite games are Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Red Dead 2. Open worlds really let you immerse yourself and get lost in the game, especially if you limit fast travel.

I recently played Jedi Fallen Order for the first time, and I was a bit shook at how "level-y" the worlds felt. I wouldn't say open worlds have ruined traditional games for me, but it sure is jarring going back to them.
