Barren, empty, soulless... that's the words I think when we're talking about recent open world games. They hold so much promise, but in the end everything is a disappointment. Most of them feel tiring, uninspired and badly conceived (bad pace, repetitive, etc.). The Witcher 3 is my biggest disappointment since, well, GTAV.

If Gta5 and witcher 3 are "tiring, uninspired and badly conceived (bad pace, repetitive" what is a good open world game to you?

Very few, they're basically the ones that didn't make the open world their core like Shadow of the Colossus, Ocarina of Time, Souls Series (if you consider that open world), etc. Out of the "core" open world games, the only exceptions are: all open world, GTAs pre V, all Elder Scrolls and probably AC2. Even tho these games were repetitive, they felt special and unique for the time.
