I can’t stand open worlds with no clear goals, the shine quickly wears off the world itself and I’m just left wondering what I would even want to do it. Mile wide, inch deep content deserts just switch me off immediately.
I play games to escape the purposelessness of life, not simulate it.






I played a thousand or two hours of Skyrim… never completed the main quest… but it was always there as an objective that I was maybe heading towards. Elder Scrolls have usually struck a good balance between “here is a big world to wander around” and “here are some key objectives and narratives to drive you forwards”.
