Open world games are by design, heavily influenced by the world around you. That is to say, the story, combat, and exploration all hinge on the world and how you can interact with it. While this may seem like a no brainer, the current ‘meta’ from some developers involve creating an open world game to hop on the trend. Not because the world is deserving of being explored. Because of this, many open world games are barren and are only traversed out of necessity. This is where fast travel comes into play. A staple in almost every new open world game, which allows you to instantly get from one area of the map to another.
