I way prefer a tight linear game if playing single player. A lot of open world games have a tonne of filler content (collectathons and require some grinding to get gear/skill ups) and side quests to prolong the journey which can get a bit tedious. Plus game progression can get fragmented causing me to lose focus on the main story and lose interest in completing it.
Saying that, a bit of both worlds wouldn't go amiss. Like FF games of old where you have a big map to explore but its a linear path. But generally prefer linear games in general - not counting MMO's.
