Speaking of The Last of Us . . . (Gaming)

God of War has basically the exact structure I'd love to see in The Last of Us II. The Last of Us is one of my favorite games, and I'd be totally okay if they stick with just a totally linear design for the sequel.

But I think God of War strikes almost the perfect balance between linear story and and optional open content. You could totally play God of War as a straight shot linear game, and I think it'd still be excellent.

I really would love to see The Last of Us do God of War styled optional side areas--I want to delve more into that world and lore. Maybe it doesn't work as well in a more "real" setting like The Last of Us. There's definitely something to be said for the different realms and all the mythological stuff really making it work well in God of War.
