15 Myths About Open-World Games That You Believed

Open-World Games Have No Linear Sections

Despite being known for large worlds, numerous open-world titles tend to have linear sections. In some cases, this is great as evidenced by the narrative for Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. However, there might be this odd balance, as seen with Final Fantasy 15’s first several hours taking place in an open-world while a good chunk of the story leading to the climax is set in a highly linear section. Either way, not every thing in an open world takes place in one giant open space.
