Contrary to popular belief, open-world games are not a genre but rather a game mechanic. Open-world games are characterized by vast landmasses without loading screens. The freedom of exploration provides an uncanny feeling like you are immersed in the game. Open-world games can be RPGs (role-playing games), third-person adventures, or even racing games.
The PC is gaining traction as the superior gaming platform for its customization and ease of upgrading. The ability to upgrade your PC with the latest specifications for unparalleled power is a liberating feeling. The PC contains the most open-world games of any platform. Which ones are the best?
10 Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
There are few adventure games as visually appealing as Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Around every nook and corner is eye candy that manifests in the game’s breathtaking open-world. The game takes place in the years 431–422 BCE during an ongoing battle between Sparta and Athens. Players choose between playing as protagonists Alexios or Kassandra. You wind up engaging on both sides of the conflict as you struggle to bring your family together.
9 Death Stranding
Open-world games are some of the most cinematic in history. Director Hideo Kojima ensured that realism was a factor of the utmost importance when creating Death Stranding. There was a near-perfect recreation of Norman Reedus, who played Sam Porter Bridge in the game. This story-intensive adventure proves that a game as expansive as Death Stranding can be engaging throughout. This game provides a unique experience, and it’s available on PC.
8 Fallout: New Vegas
It doesn’t contain the most beautiful open-world, yet Fallout: New Vegas proves that graphics aren’t everything. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, shortly after the events of Fallout 3. Set in a region formerly known as Las Vegas, this game is situated in New Vegas. The RPG elements are masterful. As a game that is backwards compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, Fallout: New Vegas is one game you can’t miss!
7 Horizon Zero Dawn
Developer Guerilla Games ensured that significant detail was packed into Horizon Zero Dawn. The game is acclaimed for its open-world that is made up of different biomes. Horizon: Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is the game’s only DLC. It brings players to the Cut, a snowy region in the game north of Grave-Hoard.
Horizon Forbidden West has a good shot at beating its predecessor, but until then, we can marvel at the achievement that is Horizon Zero Dawn on PC.
6 Forza Horizon 4
RPGs and adventure games often overshadow racing games, but they too can have scenic open-worlds. Forza Horizon 4 is the quintessential example of how to do an open-world racing game correctly. Although it’s slightly more arcadey than the Forza Motorsport series, the gameplay emphasizes exploration in a breathtaking open-world. Forza Horizon 4 contains the most robust car lineup of any open-world racing game. This is one racing masterpiece that can’t be missed!
5 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is arguably the best Assassin’s Creed game thus far. You won’t be able to find Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on the Steam Store, unlike many other Assassin’s Creed games, but you will find the PC version on the Ubisoft Store.
The game takes over 50 hours to beat, according to howlongtobeat.com, but it will feel significantly shorter. The open-world of this game is dramatically more expansive and immersive than other franchise games.
4 Grand Theft Auto V
Years after the game’s release, we are still finding reasons to return to Grand Theft Auto V. Set in the massive State of San Andreas, the game contains like open-world like few other games. Taking place in the modern era, it’s one of the most realistic open-world PC games to date. The view from the top of Mount Chiliad, the tallest peak in Grand Theft Auto V, is a sight to behold.
3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
It wouldn’t be a complete open-world game list without a The Elder Scrolls game. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might not be the best game in the series, but it’s hard to deny the beautifulness of its open-world. Skyrim’s snowy region is especially gorgeous in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, an enhanced version with remastered art. Even if you’re new to the RPG genre, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a great place to start.
2 Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a crowning achievement in open-world design. The game takes place in 1899 in the Midwestern, Western, and Southern United States. The places you’ll visit in Red Dead Redemption 2 are fictional but loosely based on real locations.
This game can be played in both the third-person and first-person, providing more freedom than other open-world games. Red Dead Redemption 2‘s attention to detail is remarkable, making it one of PC’s best open-world adventures.
1 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
In regards to open-world design, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt might be the most impressive. Technically, the game has a semi open-world design since loading screens separate regions. However, each region is massive enough to be a game of its own. Whether you like the quest-packed lands of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it’s hard to deny that it’s one of the proudest RPG accomplishments in years.
