Is it an open-world game?

@Mel Villaflor I haven’t had a chance to play it myself, but it’s my understanding that it’s somewhere in between linear and open-world. So, not Grand Theft Batmobile, but not CoD level 1, level 2 style progression either. Think big spaces connected by corridors — similar to the first game. There’s also more info in Billy’s GDC preview (linked above).

As in “Metriod” style of linearity?
If it worked in the first game,why not?
