Comment on Open World Games: yay or nay?

Yes for good games like stalker with it’s incredible, unmatched alife or arma where the large world serves a purpose or gta and red dead with it’s detail.
No to terrible checklist games where the formula is copy pasted across series and not backed up by good ai or good worlds, eg ubisoft.
Personlly ive ended up dropping witcher 3 and elden ring thanks to open worlds but for some reason cyberpunk works for me.

Arma is an interesting example. I’d say that it is only an open world game in some scenarios, and often times is a linear game that happens to have a big map and sandbox.
In any case, I’d agree that it having a large world with many possibilities is important for the gameplay and ability to mod/create content across the maps.
