Oh goodness, surprise; normal Open World games do that sometimes as well. Case in point, inFAMOUS, where certain abilities are needed to move to different islands of the same massive open world.

 

And enough people seem to agree that it is open world for it to not only get a lot of votes, but to also put Bloodborne in the top ten.

I won't deny that open world games sometimes make use of similar mechanics, but the initial world that you are given access to is far larger, and, on top of that, it is actually a fully fleshed out open world. Dark Souls isn't even really an open world by the end of the game; it's more of a collection of envrionments strung together. To put it another way, Dark Souls has a bunch of miniature environments that are connected, usually by linear passages, as opposed to one cohesive world.

And, uh, three people agree, I guess. Not sure I'd be pointing to three others voting for it as a sign of success, especially given that Sexy Beach Premium Resort, which is more of a dating sim than anything else, is on the list as well.

Dark Souls does allow exploration after the initial grind. There are many games that lock part of the world like all the GTA games before GTA V and Infamous games, both series are considered open world.

Sexy Beach Premium Resort is a game I know nothing about but if its been voted for, I assume it is an open world game. Same with the Gothic games.
