recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

    Everyone likes to hate on Ubisoft but as far as open worlds go, it’s difficult to find more content-filled ow than Immortals and AC Valhalla. There are actually so many, many things to do around every corner it can get very tiring. Puzzles, subquests, races, dungeons, unique enemies… everywhere.

      I’ve played a bit of Far Cry…3? No, Far Cry 4. Idk, the one with the guy in the pink suit, lol. And yeah, that world was chock full of stuff. Maybe even a bit too much – there’s no pleasing me, apparently – but it definitely felt more alive and interesting. Which I’ll take any day over barren and empty. I’ve enjoyed the GTA series and at least Sleeping Dogs 2, for the same reasons.

      I have some friends who keep recommending RDR2. That’s another one where the story and setting dictate the emptiness. But I’m hesitant to buy it because of that.
