Why these games appear

A useful lens, not a one-word dump

A large, substantially non-linear world that supports player-directed traversal and activity selection.

Include when

The open world structure materially shapes repeatable play and progression.

Leave out when

Do not assign Open World when the evidence is incidental, cosmetic, or only present in marketing copy.
