little bit of both. like most people i played open world games for the last decade or so bc its mostly what they make. but the last few years ive been making it a point to play linear story games. i like them both for different experiences. i do hate an open world full of bullshit tho. at a point it’s too overwhelming. i also hate an open world that doesn’t remember what you do

for example if there are enemy checkpoints or bases throughout the world if i clear it out i dont want the enemies respawning. too many games make them respawn and it feels like it ruins immersion
