GTA 5 and RDR 2 have checkpoints in missions. The main problem I have with these games is GTA used to be the gold standard of open world games, but once you start a mission it turns into the most linear game without any freedoms to approaching missions in different ways.
Yeah I started getting really bored of the rdr2 missions at the end of the story. Sure the story and the world are great. But god damn every mission is just a pure shootout and that just sucks.
GTA has had the same mission structure since the very first game in the series, so I am not sure how the mission structure of the newer ones affect it as being the gold standard.
Similar with Hitman. Goal is simple, kill the mark. The how is entirely up to you. There’s plenty of scripted events that you can insert yourself into but that’s for you to discover, and you can entirely ignore them and just kill the mark with a shotgun as soon as they step into view if you so wish
MGSV is actually one of the most technically polished games I’ve ever played. Basically every single time I went “huh I wonder if I can do this weird thing” the answer was a resounding “yes, the devs thought of that.”

The newer ones tell you that you’re leaving the mission area, the older ones didn’t really have that.
The only missions that do that are ones where you’re in a race or chasing someone down. Which aren’t new.
I think metal gear solid 5 is an example of GTA style game but you can actually complete missions in multiple different ways.

I wouldn’t call it a GTA style game though…
