10 Best Open World Games

Almost any Grand Theft Auto game since the third one could have made it on this list, but we decided to include Grand Theft Auto 5 as it is the most fully-featured GTA to-date. The single player experience is a riveting one, letting players bounce between three complex and interesting characters as they explore the sprawling city of Los Santos and the highly detailed surrounding countrys


Speaking of Geralt, let’s talk about some RPG tropes. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t the only one guilty of this, but it’s my most recent example. Okay, so you’re tasked with finding your adopted daughter of sorts, Ciri, before an evil force finds her. Throughout the game, this sentiment is blasted into Geralt’s head repeatedly as an urgent mission where a second lost could prove fatal for Ciri. With that being said, you can mess around for countless hours doing remedial tasks like hunting monsters, playing cards, or locating a crazy old woman’s pot. It’s an open world RPG, so there needs to be stuff to do in order to expand the gameplay and I’m fine with that. Perhaps don’t patronize the player for taking their time though. It’s disheartening, although I’d rather feel bad than having a time limit implemented like in Dead Risi


Gamers can't seem to get enough of exploring the vast worlds provided by open world games, as evidenced by the success of recent open world games like Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . Looking to the future, there are plenty of other open world games on the horizon that are brimming with potential, such as Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 . As it stands, there seems to be no end in sight for the open world genre, and we're not complain


There you have it: our list of the very best DLC. While other gamers are sure to adore the wealth of map packs now commonplace in multiplayer shooters, or think the console age can't hold a candle to the expansions of the PC's most established franchises, these entries prove that a developer or publisher taking a second crack at a property doesn't have to be a simple cash g


There's no question that Mass Effect has had an inconsistent history with DLC, but their successes have been some of the best. Mass Effect 2 set a high point for DLC with ' Lair of the Shadow Broker ,' and while Mass Effect 3 left many fans wanting more , BioWare promised to appease with the 'Citadel' DLC , bringing players the kind of quirky laughs and returning fan-favorite characters they longed

Open-world games have become the realized vision of gaming’s steady growth. The original top-down Grand Theft Auto on Playstation was one of the first games to implement the open-ended, free-form-mission structure that would later become the series’ trademark feature. While Grand Theft Auto II made steady improvements, Grand Theft Auto III on Playstation 2 was lauded for its 3D exploration and expansive nature. GTA III became the grandiose innovator of the series and the benchmark by which open-world games would later be judged. Vice City followed that idea, adding unique style and more cosmetic creativity thanks to its Miami Beach-inspired setting.


I've lost count at this point, but the fun loving Nathan Drake, across his five adventures, has to have killed at least a thousand men and somehow survived. Why he hasn't been recruited by Seal Team Six is beyond me. That being said, how can a man with that skill suck at video games. If you didn't know this by now, there's a moment early on in Uncharted 4 when Nathan sits down with Elena to enjoy some after-dinner gaming via Crash Bandicoot on PS1. Now, technically you can beat her score, but it's pretty challenging and it's funnier canonically, and for the purpose of this joke, if you mess up. I guess if future treasure hunting rivals want to beat, him all they need to do is pop out a Game Boy, or someth


In recent years, one of the most popular genres has been open world games. Inspired by the success of series like Grand Theft Auto and The Elder Scrolls , there have been numerous new IP set in sprawling open worlds, along with new entries in established franchises that have morphed into open world ga


Grand Theft Auto V was released on 17 September 2013 to rave reviews. Critics lauded the game as a milestone for open-world gaming and a technical achievement that would take years — if not decades — to be matched, let alone surpass. The Grand Theft Auto series has generally focused on satirizing various aspects of the real world, and Grand Theft Auto V is no exception. The title has parodied everything, from Apple (iFruit) to Call of Duty (Righteous Slaughter). Even 50 Shades Of Gray (Chains Of Intimacy) wasn't spa


Batman has one code: do not kill. Sometimes properties go against these known rules like 2016’s awful Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice where Batman literally shoots people with a gun. Not a gun that propels sleeping gas, but an actual gun with bullets. Batman shooting a gun is the least of that film’s problems though. Anyway, Batman also kills dudes in the Arkham games, even if it isn't as obvious. The damage he does to some henchmen is violent that they’re either dead or so close to it they want to be. Plus, Batman Arkham Knight introduces the Batmobile, which is a whole other can of worms. Like my Final Fantasy VII theory regarding death, I have one for Batman as well that solves this dilemma. I think the player sees reality where the in-game Batman thinks he’s holding back to keep his mind sane. Take a look at this CollegeHumor video , which sums up my point quite accurat
