discussion Do you like Visual Novel or Sandbox games?

[richpalmer]

I like sandboxes at first when there is lots to do. The interactivity is a plus in my books, provided that it isn't accompanied by unnecessary grind. But unfortunately, in most games, they wear out their welcome as content decreases.

i feel that in VN the immersion in the story is greater, idk, constantly navigating from point to point is awful

Mostly vns, sandbox has too much grinding.

I have been lazy lately so just VN is nice.

I think for me it's both. I do like VN's but sometimes in sandbox games time flie's a bit more.
If there is too much grind I don't like them, though.
A nice mix as in BADik with the VN- and the free-roaming parts is perfect in my opinion!

the best ones are well-designed sandbox games and VN with a compelling story. A mix of the two is even better !

Since I personally put gameplay in the first place, then the sandbox is preferable. I'm not afraid of Grind. As for VN, they are noticeably weaker in terms of gameplay, In addition, it is very rare to come across VN with a well-developed plot and well-developed characters. 80%, if not more, are not superior in their level to ordinary fanfiction, which girls of school age are very fond of composing.
