As the title suggests: I've had it with open worlds with dozens of things to do and checklists to complete. What are your favorite, delightfully simple, linear games?

This question is sparked by the discussion in the Final Fantasy thread, were I disclosed that I actually kind of like XIII because of its linearity. Other linear favorites of mine include: Half-Life series, Portal series, Uncharted series, some COD campaigns, Undertale, Journey, Super Mario 3D World, Plague Tale, Spec Ops: The Line

A shout out to A Way Out in the co-op catergory!

The OG Mafia and the Metro 2033 series are excellent linear games. Night in the Woods is a really fun little quirky game that's not too long.

If you like adventure games, I'd suggest Gemini Rue, Primordia, and Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis.

Perhaps Snatcher, if you're open to something older and different. Same with the classic cinematic platformer, Another World.
