** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' is entirely linear through the first two kingdoms. The only part of the Cap Kingdom available is a single route to [[WarmupBoss Topper,]] and the Cascade Kingdom railroads the player in to getting the first Power Moon and fighting Madame Broode. After that, side Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom open up, and only one is needed to move on. The player then gets the Odyssey, can backtrack to the Cap Kingdom, or progress to the Sand Kingdom. The Sand Kingdom is comparatively far more open, with several potential Power Moon options and the "story Moons" could be ignored. A set number of Moons per kingdom need to be gathered to unlock the next, but they can be from any number of locations.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'' are a notable example. The game is divided into two parts or quests: Johto and Kanto. The first quest is mostly linear, but by the time you reach the second one, you have all [=HMs=], and roadblocks are almost nonexistent, giving you access to almost all of Kanto as soon as you set foot on it. To emphasize this, the Johto gyms are beaten mostly in a set order (at least the first five or so), while the Kanto gyms can be beaten in any order. The remakes emphasized the difference between the two quests even more by making the second half of Johto more linear than before, while keeping Kanto about the same (with the exception that one of its gyms can only be beaten last now).

* Ever since the ''VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame'' series introduced fully explorable {{Hub Level}}s, they've consistently had it where your ability to access it is initially limited. In the beginning you're always boxed into a super-restricted area of movement, and from there the games differentiate a bit. Some of them have the map opened in chunks, while others have a single specific mission that after completion fully opens the whole map.
