Open world are just bigger corridors where you can avoid enemies and don't have gates every 10 minutes.

That's why Assassin's Creed are great despite overusing the collectible-slop recipe, you are constantly on the move jumping and looking for a path (or a pile of hay to jump in but that's QoL).
I would still improve the fuck out of AC games by making mechanics to really require hide in the crowd.
