Linear games lead the player along a predetermined path: from scene to scene, from level to level, without a huge open map or hundreds of side quests. However, they're easier to pace, direct, and plot — like a good film. They're an excellent choice when you want a cohesive story rather than an endless to-do list.
No. Many of the best story-driven games are linear precisely because it's easier to tell a story that way. The opposite is an open world , where there's more freedom, but the plot often gets lost.
How long do these games last?Typically shorter than open-world games: from a few hours to a couple of dozen. This is convenient if you're short on time.
All linear games on the site can be downloaded via torrent — sort the list by rating, size, or year of release.
