How do you generally feel about open world games?

What game(s) do you think didn't meet that criteria?

I'd say Pokémon Scarlet and Violet kinda disappointed in that aspect. Although that's not the only issue with those games.

Of course, back then I didn't care about the story or whatever, and I still enjoy messing around in an old GTA from time to time, so I wouldn't say the novelty ever wore off for me.

I didn't get to play the GTA games as a kid. The first game like that I played was Bully(Canis Canem Edit in Europe) back when I was in 12th grade. Fun game but never beat it's a bit less "hardcore" than the likes of GTA and Sleeping Dogs.
