Poll: Open world, or linear?

[The Cockney Rebel]

Which type of game do you prefer?

Open world, or linear?

And why?

 

[The Cockney Rebel]

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.

Agreed.

I find them monotonous.
