There must be a balance in my opinion,very good open world games(like rdr2,tw3 or Ghost of tushima) are ok but too much open worlds not of course...there also has to be enough good linear games to balance otherwise some people get tired of playing.

Much of the blame lies with the covid and the international crisis(also economic crisis).And it's also quite obvious that true good nextgen games need years to be developed...even with the ps4 great games did not come out in a short time.
