It takes bravery to explore an unknown world, and while there are a ton of games that do this in fairly safe, non-hostile environments where nothing can harm you, there are plenty more where the world openly wants to kill you. Something like Green Hell will make players feel like they’re an unwelcome guest that can hardly catch a break from the wilderness around them, while Minecraft, even with hostile mobs, is mostly danger-free overground during the day. Usually, you’ll have a pretty good idea within the first couple of minutes what kind of time you’re going to have exploring—but not always.
