Hybrid. JRPGs like Dragon Quest are a good example. The world map is big and not as linear as a level of hallways like Final Fantasy 13, but you still have a direction to go.
I know it's a me problem but I can't get through games like Breath of the Wild. I get bored of wandering around aimlessly for a long ass time and then dying instantly when I venture into the wrong area with enemies too strong for my current health level.
