I don't think I've been sucked into an open world, heart and soul, since Fallout 3, which came out halfway through high school. I got consumed by that world, which I made mine in whatever way I pleased. I miss having that kind of time to truly get sucked into a game. Now I play games with such a task-oriented, checklist mindset, partly because I have too much to do in adult life. When I played Fallout 4, I turned it off the moment I got the Platinum trophy, but back with F3, I probably put 200 hours into it just exploring, sneaking, and appreciating the world. I wonder where my sense of wonder went.
