They're simply condensed missions, most often without context to them, and the enjoyment you'll get out of them is entirely dependent upon how well you gel with the gameplay in general, which is what the game hinges on. Not that he says it, of course, but this is why, for example, there's barely a point in fucking about in either of the game's maps outside of missions and side ops and why the latter aren't what we think of as quests per se. I can't actually think of an immediate point of comparison to MGSV, which is why I always find the complaints about its open worlds a little misguided, because even with the marketing trumpeting that term it's clear that it's not trying to be like most open world games out there and Kojima, in fact, suggests in a few interviews, and the guide's introduction, that "free infiltration" better describes what it's all about, which I think is 100% true.
I think of BotW as a game whose world is akin to Ubisoft's but fun. I don't know about open world design to be honest, simply because you have a place outside of both of the game's maps and that changes the entire structure of the game.
