I’m voting linear, as I like a tight story.
Open world games tend to outstay their welcome, for me.

i’ll vote for open world - assuming there’s a plot to guide you in some general direction.
open world with no story and just a big sandbox… nah….
Example of open world with story: The Witcher 3 or Skyrim
Example of open world without a decent story/point: No Man’s Sky

I just finished Ghost of Tsushima, which was great.
I was beginning to get burned out on it, though.
Linear all the way. I don't find open-world enjoyable. They are all samey.
I used to love open world like Breath of the Wild, but it has become overused and underutilized in many ways, especially by Nintendo. Nowadays I actually prefer levels like the ones in Sly Cooper where you had areas to roam around, but they weren't connected. I didn't really care for the ones in Super Mario Odyssey, but Super Mario Galaxy had a nice linear progression.
Open world has to be really well done. I replayed Elden Ring on the PC then the PS5 and I rarely will replay s game. Recently, Ubisoft is easy to pick on because they just do it stale.
I started Elden Ring, but got to a point where the difficulty frustrated me.
Amazing game, though.
Open world, or at lest semi-open world.
