I'm not a huge fan of running around in the dark in open world games. If a survival game has a feature that lets me skip or fast-forward through nighttime by sleeping in a bed, I'll hit the sheets every evening when the sun goes down and wake up the next morning like the night doesn't even exist.
It's not just a matter of things being spookier at night—though that's definitely part of it—it's mostly because open world games are typically lovely to look at and I don't see the point of exploring and adventuring if I can't enjoy the scenery along the way. Spotting landmarks or new places of interest, solving environmental puzzles, finding secret locations, and completing quests is always going to be easier in the bright light of day.
