Open-world games are among the most successful and highly praised titles in gaming history. Although a linear adventure or an RPG can easily achieve incredible success, something about the unbridled exploration of an open-world game lends itself to brilliance. It’s no small task to create a detailed and fun world for players to explore, which is perhaps why those who commit to doing so almost always hit the mark. Open-world games often intersect with other genres like sandboxes, action, adventures, and RPGs, usually resulting in a truly immersive experience.
