Here, you can ask others questions about any game on Steam or any other game on any console, whether it is about the graphics, the plot, the game play, or even the length.ĭo not open links to games sent to you through PM, as these often contain malware Rulesġ - Help Us Help You. That fact is even more evident if you consider some zones are completely separated from the rest of the game, like Anor Londo or the painted world.Īfter that, I correlate "Open-world" with "sandbox design".Have you ever wanted to buy a game on Steam but didn't know if it was good? Have you ever had just enough money for an indie game but didn't know whether it was worth buying? Have you ever asked yourself, "Should I buy this game ?"
I don't consider any of the souls games open world, even souls 1, due to these restrictions. Although in that aspect i'd say it's closer to a metroid or a castlevania SOTN than an open world, since you're still restricted to a specific level design. The reason dark souls muddies that line is that it branches extremely early on, as well as on several occasions, with some backtracking (and the fact that 1 didn't have instant warp at the start).
Usually the point (for me at least) for open worlds is to provide a big, open sandbox with the mantra "you can go anywhere anytime", usually meaning through unrestricted travel or through non-linearity of its story/quest design/whatever equivalent.ĭark Souls comes close, especially Dark souls 1, but I still don't think it's one as it does restrict the player through very specific sequences of levels most of the time, with sometimes "branches" but the gameplay design usually means you're gonna play through a specific sequence at some point every playthrough.
"Open World" usually describes not only a certain openness in its level design but alsoin pacing.
