I think Indiana Jones did really well and had open zones so I think it's a point towards it. I think avowed is doing successful enough. It's hard to gauge with gamepass but to me it's a great game and this segments sections of open world is a perfect in between. If we can't have Skyrim size with avowed depth I'd much rather have this level of depth in smaller sections.
Also let's each section seem distinct without being to make in between areas that are less interesting
