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.

Yes but pure linear games have a limit on how much they can be played, unless you restart the story, I see this in the LEGO games. LEGO marvel super heroes and LEGO Batman 2 had a fairly small, but still had an open world. I enjoyed those much more than LEGO Batman 3, for example, which really only had the lobby area where you had to go in between missions.
