Horizon Forbidden West is fun to explore, and due to adept storytelling looking at the world map doesn’t immediately lead to exhaustion.

is designed to encourage you to explore before you tackle the main story quests, to the point that you’re actually punished if you don’t fully investigate an area before moving on. I know some people thrive in games built like this, where there are no real rules or limits and the possibilities are endless; I am not one of them.

For me, it’s exhausting. Going into a game where I feel like I have very little structure or guidance and am just expected to explore and stumble upon things to do without already being invested in the world feels overwhelming. With, once I was really immersed and loving every second of the gameplay, I started relishing exploring every nook and cranny of the map. I really enjoyed backtracking and being able to pace myself the way I wanted to.

There’s no right or wrong way to do open worlds. Both of these approaches are valid and work for different kinds of gamers. But sometimes people put too much emphasis on the wonder of an open world, and the freedom to go anywhere. When that starts feeling like an obligation, it’s not freedom at all.
