Skyrim always felt unfocused and sprawling, you could play hours on end and never actually achieve anything. At first I loved getting lost in the world, but after a while it just grew to boredom as I didn't have any real goals.

Tomb Raider presents an island you can get lost in, but there are limits, goals and points to what you're doing in Skyrim you could literally play the game for 12 hours straight and in that time maybe you get someone some groceries and that is it.

Some would argue that's part of the fun, but I can understand...different strokes for different blokes as they say.
