There's nothing wrong with a linear game done right. It mainly needs to be enjoyable and have plenty to distract you from the fact that it is linear. TLOU, resident evil, god of war, gears of war and COD are some of the games that do that right. Being able to backtrack sometimes offsets the negatives of a game being linear.

For me, FF XIII is the perfect example of a game that's linear being done wrong. It didn't help it that RPG's are typically not linear.
