waypoint simulator

A type of open-world game that involves frequently traveling from one waypoint to another, mastered by Rockstar Games with the Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto series of games.

The term was coined by Devin Santi on YouTube and was popularized by streamer and YouTuber DarkViperAU with his irrational dislike of Red Dead Redemption 2.
