Both are excellent. HFW is 100 hours + 20hr DLC, GoW is 30-40 hours.
GoW isn’t really open world, there’s a hub and there’s smaller, mostly linear locations. Gameplay is more of an Uncharted with axes and combos. It is a very good game though.
Haven't played HFW yet so I can't really compare, it is on my wishlist though. That said I didn't find GoW to be that great. It's a significant departure from the style of earlier games. It feels more like a different game that was reskinned to be GoW. If you haven't played the originals maybe that isn't a factor.
Oh, I think I put GoW on the wishlist because of the few hundred hours of “The Outer Worlds.”
