Like Breath of the Wild, where you can fight the final boss as soon as you're ready, but there is no main quests. Just a lot of quests or things to find and upgrade your character with, but no true main story quest, so that each person's play through is truly unique and their own story.

Kind of, but not really.

You need 70 stars to get to the end without glitches
And the only things you get that "power you up" are the hats, and they're not useable against any of the Bowser fights.

That's the game that inspired me to make this topic, because the player spends more time doing side quests than the main quests. But no, you are required to progress through the game's main story to get to the end.

Also Goat Simulator is pretty much just a bunch of dumb random side content thrown together in a sandbox environment.

this has absolutely nothing to do with the idea proposed

everyone's play through is the same, you go straight to the boss and beat it, while doing a ton of random pointless things before that. in terms of a unique and robust experience, it's actually the complete opposite of what you're intending, it's the shallowest experience of them all. basically it's assassin's creed with all of the story ripped out, which just makes it all pointless.

I've heard that some of the Square Enix "Saga" games are like this. Like Saga Frontier maybe. I have played it but I didn't know what I was doing and never got very far. But I've been told that the bulk of the game is side quests. With the actual main plot being a minor part of the game

Yeah and that was of the most tedious repetitive games I've ever played. I still liked it for some reason.

way of the samurai 3 is the KING of this. there's a main quest and you actually have to go pretty far out of your way to even do it. there's like 20+ endings and most of them have nothing to do with the main quest.

All the Yakuza games have something called "Premium Adventure", which is where the entire world and activities are open to you from the start and it's only sidequests; no story content. But you have to beat the story once before you can do it >_>

In Tales of Zestiria there's a point early on in the game where you can find the final boss just walking around in the field like he's some random enemy and beating him is possible.

You get an instant bad ending if you do beat him early, but it's cool that you can just find him like that lol

The soundtrack, setting, writing and exploration (minus that damned empty Bayou) were all pretty great.
