One thing I’m placing a lot of weight on is its lack of loading screens. That is so important to me in an open world, it’s not even funny. The seamlessness of an open world makes it so much more enjoyable. There’s a reason why Far Cry 2 (yes another Ubisoft game) is my favorite open world. Zero loading screens or cuts.
Another thing Steep has going for it is you can complete an event and immediately go to the next one without having to fast travel. That’s a great QOL improvement. Imagine if the newer NFS games did that.
