Explore the top 5 best open world games of all time, from Elden Ring to Red Dead Redemption 2, in this captivating gaming journey.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
Probably not very different.
No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
Rockstar Games' open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 2, can now run on Android devices, but only barely.
Oh great. So glad this is a thing and not the current gen update we’ve all been asking for. /s
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?
Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?
I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.
Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.
I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2
For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.
Currently replaying the Witcher 3, next gen upgrade style. Touissant still drops my jaw.
What makes GTA V better than Witcher 3? Just wondering.
Would put Elden ring at number 2.
I would remove Skyrim, it needs a ton of modding to make an interesting open world.
There has been four open world games I enjoyed: Elden Ring, Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild. Red Dead, GTA, Witcher, Skyrim and Oblivion etc. were all extremely tedious fetch fests or set piece style games.
Elden Ring was awesome for just being Dark Souls open world game, Days Gone had such a great set up, tense atmosphere and the Hordes were incredible, and Horizon ZD was absolutely great at storytelling in its locations and is absolutely stunning to look at. Breath of the Wild had such a soothing atmosphere that it was pure therapy to play after a tough day spent in the business world.
RDR2 looks great, plays poorly, character is very hard to control and is very gimmicky. GTA is made for 12-year olds, but tries to somehow cater to older audiences as well, didn't enjoy it at all. In both of those games you play as a mass murderer, which always sets me off. Witcher 3 had okayish side stories and locations, but I enjoyed 1 and 2 more due to their focus, the series didn't need an open-world. Skyrim was a total fetch quest and writing was just so bad I could not go on, same for Oblivion.
