Uncharted-sarjan tekijänä muistettava Amy Hennig on kohonnut yhdeksi pelialan suurista nimistä ajan kuluessa. Haastattelussaan Games Beatille Hennig ilmaisi huolensa siitä, että pelaajille enemmän vapautta annettaessa se varsinainen tarina jää liiaksi taka-alalle. Lisäksi pelit ovat nykyään huomattavan pitkiä, eikä suurin osa koskaan pelaa loppuun saakka.
"[...] Yes, you can look at Spider-Man and Red Dead and God of War, and they're deeply narrative. But they're also really long. There's also an understanding that a lot of people may never finish it. They'll only play the first part of a game. The length and complexity and the layers that are in these games now, sub-missions and skill trees, all these things are great. I'm not saying we shouldn't have them. But it makes it harder. It's harder to tell a single-player, narrative-focused game."
Hennigin mukaan nykyisin vallalla oleva tapa kertoa avoimen maailman tarinaa yksittäisillä tapahtumilla on toimiva, mutta hän ei kutsuisi sellaista tarinaksi.
"A story has an author. There's intent behind it. It has a deliberate shape. It has an arc, deliberate landmarks, and a deliberate ending. You can't accidentally do that through a bunch of random events. You're not going to achieve that experience. What you'll get is the equivalent of saying, "This happened, then this happened, then this happened." That can be satisfying. I just wouldn't call it a story."
