I prefer games with less additional features which focus on the core game.
The best example I can provide here is Fire Emblem. I don't want to spend hours doing tasks around the monastery to build and train my team. I'm fine with the 3DS entries having additional features (minus the creepy rub your party members minigame) because they didn't go too far.
Assassins Creed 4 has lots of crafting and raiding but in this case you can skip most of it and still be strong enough to complete the game.
Completely optional modes like boss rush in Metroid Dread and time trials in Mario Kart are a good thing.
