Most reviews and review sites don't have the time to sink into any individual open world game to really plumb it's depths and appreciate it's subtleties. I'd much rather find a book with an interesting story like in Skyrim, or even more so in it's predecessors Morrowind and Oblivion. I don't like 'collectables' and shining trinkets that take away from realism. If you play a game to let yourself be absorbed by it, and you like to take your time and identify with your character rather than see how fast you can rush through a game, it's Bethesda hands down for me. Not so much in the dialog, or even the combat, but when exploring both in the 'open' part of the world and in the random caves, buildings, etc. To each their own, but I think Bethesda hands down makes the deepest, most compelling open worlds out there. I grade open world games by how much they pull me in, and make me forget I'm in my living room. especially when the price tags at the bottom are always wrong when you click on the urls provided by you guys so as to make few extra bucks haha but, its wrong!īUT, thanks for the list! always interesting to check those. i guess there should be more precise definition of 'open world' games as it is not clear yet what exactly qualifies as one so i suppose its easy for you guys to put anything you might think fits that role in here. ill say, more like they seem like they are, but arent.
