I would say that the antithesis of this would be something like the Zelda Breath of the Wild. Sure, it doesn’t have the far reaching “million planets in a galaxy” thing going on, but it’s still vast for the purposes of being able to wander around for days. And, as you are discovering new towns, hills, fields, woods, cliffs and so on, it never begins to feel dull or repetitive. Because pretty much every inch of that map has been handcrafted by a team of dedicated humans. Obsessed with making it beautiful, perfect, varied and interesting throughout.
