Between work and family I don't have the time to invest hundreds of hours to get the full experience of many open-world games. I'd take a well polished (yet shorter) linear game like DOOM 2016, Metro 2033/Last Light, etc. over most generic open-world games.

I really enjoy my aracde style games when I’m pressed for time. Open-World games and the like are definitely aimed more at school students and people with more free time, but on occasional weekends and holidays you can really sink your teeth into something more immersive. I’ve been hoarding my old consoles and games since I was a kid so I have plenty of choice on things to play haha
