I don't mind linearity in games, I in fact welcome it compared to the asinine amount of open world games we've had in the past 8 years. I was expecting something like God of War 2018 where it was linear with a bit of openness but no. Barely any side paths to take from what I remember, the only way to truly grind was to keep moving forward. Felt claustrophobic. Might pick it back up but definitely not anytime soon.
