For most of my life, I've played very open games. I've played a lot of Rimworld, and I enjoyed the hell out of that shit because you can do a lot of things with all the different systems they offer you. Mods make it a trillion times better in some cases. I don't play it much anymore because of reasons, but it still influenced my tastes.

That's all to say I like open, moddable, "We give you a bunch of systems and mechanics, go wild" games, but I want to hear your opinions. Do you prefer more traditional, narrow games, or do you prefer open sandbox-y type games?

Sometimes I feel like going into a deeply rich open world that's alive and has a lot of lore to expand on with fleshed out charecters.

Other times I just want to sit down and pew pew pew at hordes.

Depends on the mood I'm in because I tend to soak up deep lore open world games and want to throughly enjoy them and find all the secrets instead of veging out. To really appreciate the art.
