English term or phrase: nonlinear play

Definition from What Games Are:
Nonlinear play is the middle ground between linear and sandbox play. It may be somewhat restricted, such as by geography or tests, but allows for a significant amount of player choice in how it is played. Nonlinear games often use combinations of levels and spaces for their geography. The term is commonly used informally to describe games which have high optimality.

Example sentence(s):

нелинейна игра

Definition from What Games Are (своб. пр-д):
Нелинейната игра е стил на игра между линейна игра и игра с изпитване на различни функционалности (игра в пясъчника). Може да бъде донякъде ограничена, като например от географското местоположение или пробите, но дава значително влияние на избора от страна на играча върху развитието на играта. Нелинейните игри често използват комбинации от нива и области по отношение на своята география. Терминът често се използва неофициално за описване на игри, които имат висока оптималност.

Example sentence(s):

1954: Алкатраз [...]В първия разговор между Джо и Кристин ще трябва да решите как ще се развива сюжетът: дали ще бъде любовна история или история пълна с конфликти и лъжи между двамата. В процеса на развитие постоянно ще сменяте персонажите, а създателите обещават нелинейна игра с няколко алтернативни завършека. - Моят свят за игри
Far Cry Primal ще е нещо различно – нелинеен, макар и структуриран подход към начина на понасяне на историята. - kaldata.com
