What are some good exploring/open world games?

[Whaler]

To make this quick, Games I’ve played ———————————————————————— Horizon Zero Dawn 8/10 Skyrim 8/10 Days Gone 8/10 The Witcher 7/10 No Man’s Sky 6.5/10 (beta player) Assassins Creed Games (6-10) Fallout Games (8/10) Subnautica (6.5/10) Gen. Zero (Didn’t get into it 5/10) Red Dead Redemption (9/10) Ark (6/10) Elden Ring (can’t say I got stuck) GTA (eh 6/10) The forest (5/10) Borderlands (7/10) Icarus (6/10)

I touched a few other games but I can’t remember them. Others I’m just not interested in playing.

I really like games with different biomes that you’re able to explore. I could do with or without a sandbox game. Doesn’t really matter to me personally. I enjoy the story of games and figuring out how the world came to be.

Honestly I’m just looking for a game like HZD since the newest version isn’t on steam and doesn’t plan to be for a while if at all.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Well, if you enjoyed Skyrim, here are two handy images (for reference, the map of Skyrim is slightly smaller than that of Oblivion):

Wow, Just Cause 2 is huge! But...

"Huge" is relative.

As an added bonus, Daggerfall's been released for free by Zenimax, pre-loaded with DosBOX, so it works right out of the gate (https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/daggerfall )!

Honestly I’ve tried avoiding Just Cause, I’m not really attracted to the games that play like that and far cry. and I’ve checked daggerfall and I’m not into the artstyle of it.

Dishonored series, especially Dishonored 2. Its a stealth game with each level being completely different and has multiple ways of beating each. You dont have to play it stealthy either but its not a run and gun type of game.

Ghost of tsushima is a samurai game with a gorgeous world that stands up to Horizon Zero dawn. The fighting is awesome and I never got bored of the sword battles and just walking around the world.

Can I get GOT on Pc? Or is it exclusively on console?

[UniquelyBasic]

Its only on PlayStation as of now but their doesn't seem to be a pc port coming anytime soon.

Have you played Metro Exodus? It has semi open worlds and its like stalker but less realistic. Its a fps but it has mechanics like guns getting dirty and jamming, needing air filters to go into certain contamination zones and mutated monsters. Its really cool and their are 3 games, the first two are not open world but exodus is.

I have, I didn’t really enjoy it honestly.

Ve ey unfortunate. PlayStation seems to not like to make their games available on different platforms.
