How do you like your games - open or narrow? (hexbear.net)

For most of my life, I've played very open games. I've played a lot of Rimworld, and I enjoyed the hell out of that shit because you can do a lot of things with all the different systems they offer you. Mods make it a trillion times better in some cases. I don't play it much anymore because of reasons, but it still influenced my tastes.

That's all to say I like open, moddable, "We give you a bunch of systems and mechanics, go wild" games, but I want to hear your opinions. Do you prefer more traditional, narrow games, or do you prefer open sandbox-y type games?

Funnel-shaped: narrow at the beginning to avoid overwhelming the player, gradually opening up to allow more freedom as the player progresses and comes to grip with the mechanics.
