We’re in a golden age of open-world games Games For PC, sprawling sandboxes where player choice rules above all else. Sure, there are stories, quests, missions, and goals, but players can complete them at their own pace. From fantasy realms to simulated galaxies, from modern cities to post-apocalyptic wastelands, the best open-world games give players the freedom to choose their path—to do what they want, when they want—and provide an exciting and rewarding setting for their self-guided adventures. Direct Pre-Activated Here are the best open-world games on PC. Red Dead Redemption 2 2d2j46 Released: 2019 | Developer: Rockstar Games Rockstar’s historical open-world series finally hit the PC with Red Dead Redemption 2, a monumental ode to the fading American frontier. RDR2 is rife with detail, overstuffed with little touches: animal corpses persist and decay, the protagonist Arthur has a commentary for nearly every location and character, and random world events make the world feel lived in, be it sucking on a man’s snakebite wound or getting ambushed by hillbillies. It’s all layered into an excellent story that’ll take you as long as the complete Deadwood series to get through, and that’s if you’re rushing. And on top of it all, Red Dead Online brings a DayZ-adjacent quality to the open world, invoking everything from serious roleplay to ridiculous, surreal shenanigans. It’s also one of the prettiest games you can play on the PC today. With the mods rolling in quickly, RDR2 is bound to be a PC game we talk about for years and years to come. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey 26x5t Released: 2018 | Developer: Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was a landmark for the series, altering what Assassin’s Creed is known for and transforming itself into a true RPG. At the same time, it carried on the tradition of providing a massive, intricately detailed open world full of beautiful scenery and colorful quests. “Normally size doesn’t matter, but the sheer scale of Odyssey’s ancient Greece is to its benefit, especially because each area feels so distinct and detailed,” Steven wrote in his glowing review. “It’s a vast world that I want to explore, and each Zone has a subtle aesthetic that makes it unique, from the arid badlands of Crete to the verdant plains of Arkadia. This isn’t just Ubisoft’s biggest game; it’s also the most beautiful.” Subnautica 73355w Released: 2018 | Developer: Unknown Worlds Entertainment Subnautica’s vast ocean environment and the diverse underwater biomes provide one of the most striking, gorgeous, and terrifying open worlds in PC gaming. Games are rarely—and literally—so sublime. Reviewer Phillipa explains her fascination: “I adore the way the lighting and the art create the sense of each biome as being a distinct underwater creation, both alien and familiar. I love following the creatures—even the more aggressive ones—and will happily front crawl my way into a curious labyrinthine cave system without ing to lay a path of glowing markers so I can get back out.” The simulation is pretty surface-level, but Subnautica’s accolades are best reserved for how it creates the illusion of an ecosystem. Big fish eat the little ones, and their respective physical and behavioral attributes make sense for where you find them. It doesn’t hurt that most of them look pretty nice against the darkness of the deep ocean blue. And a story happens to you between all the exploration at the behest of natural curiosity. To say anything more would spoil an excellent sci-fi mystery. Grand Theft Auto 5 5u456n Released: 2015 | Developer: Rockstar Games This is what money is for: creating a kind of pastiche of a real-world location that’s so staggeringly accurate in atmosphere and details that it’s better than being in the real thing. Los Santos represents the meticulous approach Rockstar gave to the compact Liberty City in GTA 4 and brought it to the scale of 2004’s San Andreas—and the result is an open world of such a high standard that Rockstar itself is only likely to top it. Between GTA 5’s multi-protagonist solid campaign and the mad playground of GTA Online, there are well over 100 hours of chases and gunfights across the land, air, and sea for those who want it here. GTA 5 is also highly moddable. Here’s our list of The Best Car Racing Games For PC Assassin’s Creed Origins 5x3e1p Released: 2017 | Developer: Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed Origins’ world is one of the best in the entire series and one of the most beautiful locales of any open-world game. Our reviewer Chris loved how lively Ubisoft’s take on Ancient Egypt felt despite its sheer size. “Towns and villages are bustling with citizens, farmers, workers, and soldiers. Plenty of dangerous (and eventually tamable) wildlife from vicious crocs and hippos lurking in the Nile to lions and hyenas prowling the dunes and rocky hills to flamingos and egrets that take flight when you thunder past on horseback.” There’s gold in them thar hills too. After nearly 35 hours of play to complete the main quest, Chris still hadn’t even visited entire sections of the map, meaning there were actual quests, characters, and communities he’d yet to catch a glimpse of. Assassin’s Creed: Origins proves that Ubisoft can revive interest in a tired series through sheer artistry and not necessarily by adding more bullet point back-of-the-box features. Ancient Egypt is just a great place to be, and now you can explore it without murdering people thanks to the free addition of an educational tourism mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2i4y1h Released: 2018 | Developer: Warhorse Studios Buggy as it may be, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open-world RPG slash immersive sim whose ambition outpaces its problems—most of the time. Not only is the small slice of medieval Bohemia beautifully rendered, but it’s also a complex (and loosely historical) simulation of life and death there. Andy Kelly summarizes the scope in his review: “If you get caught stealing, you’ll end up serving some time in jail. If you unsheathe your sword during a fistfight, your opponent will back down and even apologize. Nobles will be more willing to speak to you if you’ve had a bath. If your reputation in a town is especially high, people on the street will shout your name and sing your praises.” He goes on for a while, and even then, he barely touches on everything. The detail in the simulation is almost absurd, a depth most big studios wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole, but Kingdom Come manages to keep everything together well enough. And through it all, you play a naive, vulnerable, unremarkable young man. Small dangers cast tall shadows over Henry, a lovable oaf, imbuing a plain world with the mystery and danger we look for in great open-world adventures. Forza Horizon 3 3o4w2p Released: 2016 | Developer: Playground Games Forza Horizon 3 is a racing game, but it’s not only a racing game. It’s a vast, sprawling, beautiful sandbox full of city streets, pristine beaches, lush forests, and dusty deserts representing a condensed but still sizable slice of Australia’s Outback. Its vast and varied terrain gives us lots to do: races, challenges, stunt jumps, collectible hunts, not to mention hundreds of cars to play with. Forza Horizon 3 is the best of an already excellent series in of size, scope, variety, and enjoyment. Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl 5x192w Released: 2007 | Developer: GSC Game World In Stalker, the open world is your enemy. Gamma pockets, anomalies, and radioactive storms can end you in moments. Any building can hide scavengers or horrifying mutated creatures. Ammo and armor are scarce, and you’re lost in a wasteland so bleak as to be almost wholly alienating. But as the Stalkers know, the Zone has a strange allure. Explore the blasted husks of Ukrainian factories and apartment blocks, and try not to be too unnerved by the dead quiet. After a while, Stalker’s desolation becomes beautiful. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 1t1h5m Released: 2015 | Developer: CD Projekt RED An outstanding technological achievement, The Witcher 3 is the vanguard of a new wave of open-world games Games For PC able to leverage the power of modern gaming systems to create environments of extraordinary detail and scope. The bogs of Velen are a moody aperitif that primes you for the bustle of Novigrad and the sweeping forests of the nordic Skellige region—one of the most beautiful game locations ever. You can spend hours sailing around those islands, stumbling upon quests, breaking curses, killing monsters, and playing Gwent with rowdy locals. The Witcher 3’s towns are noisy, bustling places that make open-world other cities seem lifeless by comparison. It’s a pleasure to pick a direction and walk—the hallmark of a great open world. Here’s our list of Spiderman Games For PC Elite: Dangerous 5h34x Released: 2014 | Developer: Frontier Developments Few open-world games are as open and vast as that Elite: Dangerous. Fly your spaceship through the simulated Milky Way, battling pirates (or becoming one), mining asteroids, transporting and trading goods, or simply exploring undiscovered stars, planets, and systems. Whether you play solo or a connected online galaxy with other players, you will find adventure among Elite’s 400 billion star systems. You might even run into a few aliens. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag 311g5g Released: 2013 | Developer: Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed’s jauntiest outing since 2, Black Flag masterfully combines toe-to-toe swashbuckling with sailing in a luminous Caribbean archipelago. Tiny islands, whales, forts, and colonial armadas provide variety on the ocean, and the sizeable islands host traditional freerunning Assassin’s Creed action. After a poor third entry in the series, Black Flag was a salty lungful of fresh air. The cities are smaller, and the plot is nonsense, but few games can match the excitement of smashing a port. You crack the walls open from the ocean with cannon fire before seamlessly freerunning through the shattered battlements, hunting the commander with a brace of loaded pistols. It’s precisely the sort of action that open worlds do brilliantly. Top storms, too. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind 182338 Released: 2002 | Developer: Bethesda Hiking across Morrowind is a lot like visiting one of those replica Victorian streets—yes, it’s a bit brown, the technology is antiquated, and for some reason, everything smells of must—but it feels so real. A glimpse into another world frozen in time, alien and yet familiar. Morrowind bridges the divide between modern, polished but impersonal 3D blockbusters and the peculiar, characterful roleplaying games of yesteryear. With efforts such as OpenMW and Skywind to bring Morrowind into the modern era, there may be living in it still. Large enough to get lost in and stuffed to the brim with little details, the island of Vvardenfell continues to entice and enthrall today as it did 15 years ago. Metal Gear Solid 5 1h5s72 Released: 2015 | Developer: Kojima Productions Metal Gear Solid 5 only truly comes into its own as an open-world game when you stop using the helicopter to get to every mission and work your way through each of the two massive landscapes (Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire border), picking off Side Ops like an RPG. Kojima Productions’ stealth action game encourages true freedom of approach, and its progression systems appropriately reward the player, too. You start by headshotting enemies with a rubbish pistol and end by dragging enemies toward you with a magic robot hand, sticking tanks on balloons, and calling in airstrikes on bears. Great game or most excellent match? Starbound 695f3c Released: 2016 | Developer: Chucklefish With quests, combat, boss fights, exploration, survival, mining, crafting, building, and interplanetary space travel, Starbound packs a ton of things to do into its charming 2D pixelated universe. Whether digging deep into a planet’s surface, jetting off to discover new solar systems, or constructing a quiet little town and populating it with friendly NPCs, you’ll find Starbound’s world—worlds—an inviting and fascinating and fascinating place to spend countless hours. Check out our list of Mario Kart for PC Just Cause 2 6g6dd Released: 2010 | Developer: Avalanche Studios Not exactly the deepest of the games on this list, but one of the most empowering, exciting, and silly. Rarely has such a vast and beautiful open world felt like an actual playground, and with a grappling hook and infinite parachutes to swiftly navigate the lush and tropical island, it’s always playtime. Your boots will barely touch the ground before you’re careening through the air again, zipping from place to place amid chaos and destruction. Just Cause 3’s world may have been bigger, but this one is better. Mad Max 2r2q5m Released: 2015 | Developer: Avalanche Studios There’s a certain dismal beauty to a destroyed and decaying world, and the wasteland of Mad Max is filled with horrible yet still somehow lovely sights. From blasted industrial landscapes to desolate deserts to lakes of toxic sludge, the world is a dangerous and atmospheric place to explore. Plus, you get to drive through it all in a souped-up car, spike-covered, as you battle roving gangs of War Boys, Buzzards, and other psychopathic speedfreaks. While Mad Max gets repetitive, and it’s not as fun when you have to get out of your car and fight on foot, its open world still provides hours of high-octane fun. Saints Row 4 7223t Released: 2013 | Developer: Deep Silver A delightfully silly satire on games, don’t let Saints Row 4’s slightly dull city put you off. Powers like superhuman speed, Hulk-like jumps, and a range of comedy guns and wrestling moves mean this is the closest thing to Crackdown you can find on PC, except it’s better because it has jokes. It also has an inflator ray that puffs up enemies until they pop and a Dubstep gun that changes the firing pattern depending on the costume you give it. Based on this information, you’ve probably already decided whether to give it a try or not. Westerado: Double Barreled 5r3q2w Released: 2015 | Developer: Ostrich Banditos Don’t let its looks fool you: Westerado is an open-world game and one that allows more freedom than any other ever made. The story is always the same—you’re searching for the desperado who murdered your family—but the identity of this outlaw changes every time you play. As you explore the dusty Western world, searching for your target, you can go where you like and do what you want, including accusing anyone, at any time, of being the killer. You can even draw your gun and shoot any NPC you meet during a conversation. Be a hero, or a scoundrel, or something in between. The choice is entirely yours. Fallout 4 1h421q Released: 2015 | Developer: Bethesda A brown post-nuclear wasteland ought to be boring, but the decades Bethesda has spent refining the same open-world formula pays off in Fallout 4. While not as groundbreaking as its predecessors, the absorbing world serves as a battleground for Boston’s warring NPCs. Diamond City defenders fight running battles through the outskirts of the city, while in the wilderness, raiders bully settlers, and the mutated wildlife attacks anything it thinks it can eat. Except for Minecraft, this is the only game on the list that gives players some control over the landscape. Liberate settlements, and you can melt down their possessions to build towns with luxuries like running water and turret systems to keep the wastelanders out. Because it’s based on an advanced version of the Creation engine that powered Skyrim and Oblivion, it’s a modder’s paradise. Dwarf Fortress 1n5c6f Released: 2006 | Developer: Bay 12 Games The best game ever made if you can learn how to play it. Like Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress can generate a planet in moments. It goes further than using erosion patterns to plot realistic river routes or using geology to weave skeins of ore into the crust in believable ways. Its models build whole societies—heroes, battles, wars, and religious beliefs included. Sometimes an organization won’t even survive the world creation process. Instead, you cross their abandoned halls as you manage your fortress or encounter their ruins in DF’s roleplaying mode. The ASCII interface is offputting to some, and it’s best played with some aids, but this is the most advanced open-world generator available, and it’s still being updated with new features and behavioral tweaks. Sunless Sea 4o4ov Released: 2015 | Developer: Failbetter Games It’s easy to equate open-world games with absolute freedom and carefree fun—an assumption that Sunless Sea leaves shipwrecked on the jagged rocks surrounding its oppressive eponymous ocean. An intriguing narrative and harrowing (sometimes cruel) gameplay result in a lesson in humility and character building not often seen in the other games in this list. More eldritch than escapist, it’s an acquired taste and not for those who don’t like (lots of) reading—but with an undersea expansion pack, there’s always something tugging you back to its darkly humorous, moodily scintillating seascape. Far Cry 4 6z271y Released: 2014 | Developer: Ubisoft Since Far Cry 2, the series has encouraged gunfights across sprawling open-world locations, from Africa to the tropics and the Himalayas. Far Cry 2’s setting, systems-driven approach to action sequences, and exciting buddy system made it a critic’s darling. It’s still great, but Far Cry’s stealth systems have improved since then, and the addition of co-op and some spectacular mountainous terrain in Far Cry 4 earns it a place on this list. The series has become more refined with each entry, and 3 and 4 have wisely focused on giving players a generous scattering of outposts to conquer. These open-ended challenges allow you to improvise with a varied armory or chain together stealth kills in close combat. Far Cry 4 has some of the best dynamic fire in any game, like its predecessors. That only adds to the carnage when things inevitably go wrong. Minecraft 3g54m Released: 2011 | Developer: Mojang What if an open world wasn’t just a challenge to be survived but a bedrock on which to build a world of your own? Many games have tried to emulate Minecraft over the years. Some, like Terraria and Starbound, have done a great job, but the original is a generation-defining work that’s still growing with every update. As a survival game, it’s relatively crude, but it’s an incredible building game, and players have used Minecraft’s creator tools to build extraordinary things. Minecraft isn’t just a great open-world game. It’s a cultural phenomenon. Released: 2010 | Developer: TaleWorlds Entertainment It may not be the prettiest world, but the sheer amount of freedom in Mount & Blade: Warband makes up for the lack of production value. Crisscross a map dotted with medieval villages, towns, and castles, and assemble armies of allies (or go it alone) as you battle on foot or horseback. The combat is some of the most enjoyable and intense on PC, and you can choose your path. Complete quests, side with any faction you want, and become ruler of one and acquire vassals—or romp around looking for trouble.
