Games: Open World

Open-world games offer the main thing — freedom: go wherever your eyes lead you, postpone the plot, climb towers, find stashes and just live in this world. The selection features both huge modern universes worth hundreds of hours and compact sandboxes that stay interesting every minute. Mind the size — open worlds often weigh a lot — and the release year if your hardware is not new. Descriptions, screenshots, ratings and reviews inside each card will tell you whether the scale is yours.
