Part of the beauty of open-world games is that they allow players to explore a vast and wonderful environment at their leisure. That being said, many games take just a little too long to actually get players into the action, whether because they feature a long and tedious tutorial, or because there are simply too many cutscenes to keep players engaged. The good news is, it's become clear over the years that open-world developers have placed a lot more focus on giving players the freedom to explore as soon as possible to avoid them becoming disinterested moments after they press start.
