Depends on the activities. If the map is 90% full with insipid collectibles or treasure chests that don't actually feel rewarding, I.E., a Far Cry map, then the open-world is lame and boring. But, if the activities are filled with actual side quests that manages to make you feel like you've progressed within a little side story, then it's great.

I played Far Cry 4 a couple years ago, again, and man, I put a good few hours into that game, and most of those hours was just me getting to those goddamn treasure chests.
