I don't really enjoy the open world survivor build'em up games like Valheim. I find the lack of direction, the emergent story telling as lazy game design. Sure complete freedom is great programatically and for those that want to make their own stuff, but at my point, I want to have an experience and be shown a story.
Maybe I miss the point, but I couldn't get into Minecraft, Gary's Mod, Rust, or other games in that genre.
Fair enough. To each their own. I actually liked all the Final Fantasy games for the story as well as the gameplay. would have to think on what others I liked for story reasons.
