What Xenos said. (Gaming)

I am not a fan of true open world games because they lack focus, direction, and flow nearly all the time.

I don't disagree with that at all. That's largely why I am a fan of some open world games. Elder Scrolls, for instance. The story is serviceable, but it's never good. The combat isn't all that great, in the grand scheme of things. The real fun of Elder Scrolls comes from just inhabiting that world and exploring. The Witcher 3 didn't go quite as far in that direction, but it was the same way for me. The combat in the Witcher is good, but not great, the story is good, but not great, etc. But the world is so well realized, it's fun for me to just be there, and TW3 does a better job than perhaps any other game than making the world feel like a real place to be inhabited.
