This is the kind of game where you tell people, “The world is your playground,” cause it is. Explore, hunt, fly, cut trees, kill enemies, solve puzzles, hunt for secrets, and much more! And now that the sequel Tears of the Kingdom is very close to launching, it is the optimal time for every interested gamer to pick this one up.

Saints Row The Third

Volition developed this game as a more fun parody of GTA 4. The game was released three years late in 2011, yet it gave fans exactly what it promised, a more vibrant world to explore and more exciting gameplay.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Everything That Collector’s Edition Gets You!

This is precisely what fans get when they buy this game for Nintendo Switch, all the DLCs, and Co-op mode. Hundreds of hours of fun in their palms!

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Bethesda launched this open-world western RPG in November of 2011. It offered its players the kind of freedom that was previously unheard of. The phrase “See that mountain? You can climb it” by Todd Howard was mainly proven true.

Players could go anywhere, do anything, steal cheese wheels, wine, and weapons, and just sell them back and make a living out of it. Players could abandon the main quest if they wanted and live a quiet life in the cold mountains of Skyrim.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This game came as a surprise when it launched in 2015. Fans even called it an evolution of Skyrim. And in many aspects, it was true, but false in others. The game had a better story, a better side quest structure, and side quests tied into the main story.

It offered a beautiful and vast open world and better combat mechanics. What it did not give players was the freedom to just be themselves. Fans had to go back to the main quest eventually.

Monster Hunter

Kill a monster, build better gear from its skin and bones, move on to a more complex monster, rinse, and repeat. The explanation for this game cannot be more straightforward than this. Kill mammoth creatures and become legendary hunters.
