Honestly, there's no advantage to this kind of pseudo-sandbox other than making the story seem longer by artificially gating player progression speed.
Plus the lack of a gallery (it's only static images, no text/interactivity) sucks too. No technical reason to not have a gallery, that dragon game has one.
