I feel like Sony’s first party games are at their best when they’re telling well written, focused stories with some exploration components peppered throughout. Forbidden West felt like they decided to make a Far Cry game with all the worst parts of a Far Cry game being the focus.
I hate to generalize, but this is how I think I feel about every "open world" game I have ever played. I used to get the appeal but the older I get the more I appreciate hallway simulators with exciting set pieces
