Best Open World Games

Skyrim gives you a living world with an epic atmosphere. So many quests, stories, places, characters, and items in it.

Not only is this the best open world game, it is easily the best game ever made.

I don't know how someone could dislike this game. It's legendary!

This game has so many things you can do. I feel that you could never get bored with it. I find myself returning to it more often than any other game on this list.

It's better than Skyrim, that's for sure. Skyrim's combat was so choppy and dull. Even the magic sucked. Witcher's combat is not perfect either, but it's a less complicated version of Dark Souls' combat, as I see it.

The side quests all feel like they had a lot of time and effort put into them, and that's not even counting the extreme quality of the main story or the DLC's stories. The world is as densely packed and fun to explore as any Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, or Fallout game.

But what I like the most about the Witcher is the feeling it gives you. You're on a quest for money primarily. Geralt's job is to kill monsters, but why do anything you're good at for free? That sense of knowing that every decision you make will have a permanent impact on the world is also really cool.

It should be number 1. It is the benchmark for all open world games that have released or are yet to be released. Be it the graphics or the gameplay, this game excels everywhere.

I've never seen anything like this before, and this game deserves more than number 1 because it is a super-duper, way-big, ultra-mega ultimate Grand Theft Auto game! It's truly amazing and excellent.

Best open world game ever. And one of the best games ever.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V should have topped this list.

It's big and progressive. New features come out with every mission.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the best video game of all time!

Pure chaos, explosions, grappling hook, and infinite parachute. It's Michael Bay's dream come true!

This game is awesome, but I am still stuck in the town with the bomb.

Good, and it's open world. But it should be in the top 7 from my point of view.

Shark hunting was a very enjoyable thing. Plus the sea.

Every open world game is inspired by this series. If this series was not created in the past, then all present open world games wouldn't exist.

Not only is this the best Zelda game I've ever played, but it's also the best open world game I've ever played. And not only that. This is the best video game I've ever played.

The exploration is absolutely unprecedented by anything other than Dark Souls. There is so much to explore, and there are absolutely no restrictions.

Definitely the best open world game ever. It actually feels like an open world game. The gameplay and combat are fantastic, and the missions are fun, creative, and stand out from other games, such as the second mission of the game. Just amazing. Customization is key in that game. The fun is just endless in SR3.

This is one of the most underrated games out there. Seriously, this game has the best character customization, which lets you choose from thousands of clothes and presets. This means you can make your character however you want. You can make him/her look like Peter Griffin from Family Guy, Mystique from X-Men, etc.

But even without the customization, the game would still be amazing.

This game is not higher on the list because it is so new. But it is stupid that PS4 has not had mods yet. At the time it came out, the sales were record-breaking.

Oh my gravy! Minecraft is the absolute bomb! I love the Skyrim, festive, plastic, and cartoon texture packs, and all of the others! The only thing is that they need to add command blocks! They are adding that already?!

I would have chosen this, but Skyrim is just better. It is a fun game to play with friends, but when you're alone, it can get kind of boring. However, if you're good, you can make some awesome stuff. In that case, playing alone is for you.

This game is awesome. You can do whatever you want. This game is so fun and entertaining. And it's open world.

The best action-parkour game that I ever played.

Arkham City is so fun to explore with subways, buildings, and streets ruled by the most dangerous inmates and supervillains. The story is great, containing almost every single Batman villain you know.

And the DLC packs are also really good, having different stories and playable characters. A true must-own.

This is one of my favorite games! Perfect story and DLC packs, great graphics. Must have!

Greatest open world game of all time. I am saying without any doubt that this game is on the same level as other legendary open world games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, Saints Row 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Saints Row 2.

Sleeping Dogs is the "dawg" of open world games. Best fights, best graphics, but driving is a serious letdown. Besides that, it's a great game for sure.

This game can be played forever because you can get new enemies to kill as you die, and each one is different.
