Burnout Paradise (pre-remaster) is an amazing game where just driving around between races and exploring the map is fun… until you lose a race. You then spend the next 5 minutes going all the way back to the start only to try again. It’s especially infuriating when you lost the race due to something completely unpredictable. You know who handles this well? GTA: Vice City Stories. Yes, you travel between missions, but if you die in a mission, there’s a taxi right in front of the hospital that takes you back to the start immediately. Exploring is fun until you are forced to do it. Even DayZ doesn’t force it. You die, well, you might as well start from scratch because your gear will probably de-spawn before you can get back to it.
