What do you look for in open-world games: story or sandbox vibes?

Are you a fan of open-world games, are you into epic stories or just roaming free? Based on what you have played, What game has the best map? Do you like story-driven or total freedom?

When it comes to Open-World Games, I always love to be the master of my own adventure. I want to be allowed to make my choices and the strategy to solve a particular challenge.

In Hogwarts Legacy, I could spend hours just wondering around the castle and grounds. That was something I looked forward to when the game came out because I wanted to see all the parts that we didn't get to see during the movies. I liked the story lines, don't get me wrong. But I just wanted to see everything for myself and on my own time.

I am into both, story and sandbox vibes. For instance, when I am playing Minecraft, I am mostly into sandbox, and I like Red Dead redemption due to its story.

I usually look for a balance, but I sometimes slightly turn towards story. For example, in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, I enjoy exploring the world freely, but the narrative and character development keep me invested. Sandbox elements are great, but a strong story makes the experience memorable.
