00:08 The best open world games are a brilliant investment, engineered to offer you something
00:12 new around every corner.
00:14 They're usually designed with one central storyline, but the people you'll meet, the
00:18 places you'll visit, and the hidden areas you stumble upon in your travels always mean
00:23 plenty of other distractions.
00:25 These top open world titles are here to absorb all of your free time, with such rich worlds
00:31 that you won't mind getting lost in them completely.
00:34 Anything here can guarantee you a good time, so take a look.

00:45 All of the recent Assassin's Creed titles have been excellent open world games, but
00:49 Assassin's Creed Valhalla is definitely one to check out.
00:52 Building on the improvements made with Origins and Odyssey, Valhalla takes you to the Dark
00:56 Ages, travelling across England as the Viking Eivor to find a new home for your clan.
01:02 Build your settlement, meet new friends, forge new ally ships, dabble in politics, and do
01:06 a heck of a lot of exploring to find the secrets and treasures lurking in Old England.
01:12 [Sounds of the game]
01:20 Perhaps one of Elden Ring's greatest assets as an open world game is the ear of mystery
01:25 that shrouds everything.
01:27 It gives little away, and adds a genuine rush to its exploration.
01:32 Every door or new location is as much a thrill as a threat.
01:36 The open world structure has also softened from the usual style of game design.
01:41 It's not exactly more accessible, because there are still some hard to beat bosses and
01:45 high level areas that will hand your ass back to you in seconds.
01:48 But the freedom to explore removes the grind of the more linear Dark Souls series, letting
01:54 you wander off and explore, levelling up a more leisurely pace and adjusting to the challenges
01:59 ahead.

02:09 Horizon Forbidden West improves greatly on the original game, filling in its beautiful
02:14 world with a bunch of side quests, activities and things to do and find.
02:19 This delivers a much larger and far richer open world than the original, filled with
02:23 side quests, large varied territories and long branching stories to flow over tens of
02:29 hours.
02:30 Aloy's latest adventure is stunning to look at, and filled with utterly memorable plots,
02:36 characters and events, often to be found quite some way off the beaten path of the main questline.
02:41 [Sounds of the game]
02:52 See that mountain?
02:53 You can climb it, or ride your horse up there.
02:55 You can also attach octopus balloons to a raft and float up, or turn a fallen tree into
03:01 a rocket and hang on tight.
03:03 Mixing up these ingenious mechanics is what makes this open world feel deliriously freeing,
03:09 as it encourages a special breed of mad scientist experimentation.
03:13 Instead of quests propelling you around the map, you'll find curiosity getting the better
03:17 of you most of the time, as Breath of the Wild's landmarks are downright intriguing,
03:22 and offers the chance to find out more about the world before Calamity Gammon struck.
03:27 Alternatively, you can hunt down these 600 adorable Korok Seeds, or perfect your cooking
03:32 repertoire, or take on a Lynel, or... well, you get the idea.
03:36 [Sounds of the game]
03:43 Come on, you can't have a list of the best open world games without chatting about GTA
03:47 5.
03:48 You know it, I know it, it's the most successful entertainment product of all time for Christ's
03:52 sake.
03:53 Driving through the winding streets, taking advantage of skydiving, stabbing sharks with
03:57 knives, tracking a serial killer, running from the police, going full Trevor and causing
04:02 as much chaos as humanly possible, and do I really need to carry on listing all the
04:07 stuff you can do?
04:08 We'll be here all year.
04:09 Grand Theft Auto is a web of criminal exploits and mind-boggling potential, with every single
04:15 inch of the world filled with NPCs to manipulate, missions to hunt down, or just colossal heights
04:20 of shenanigans to engage in.
04:21 It'll swallow you whole, spit you out, and have you itching for more.
04:25 [Sounds of the game]
04:35 Doesn't matter if you want to hunt, doesn't matter if you want to help Dutch achieve his
04:39 elusive goals, and it definitely doesn't matter if you'd rather just own the fanciest,
04:44 rootinest-tootinest wardrobe in all of America.
04:47 Red Dead Redemption 2 is absolutely packed full of things to keep you busy.
04:51 It's a tale of the gradually disappearing age of outlaws, as civilization comes to the
04:56 wild west, meaning there are plenty of people who need your help.
05:00 Rockstar's game will have you hunting for dinosaur bones, trying to solve a murder mystery,
05:05 or even summoning a vampire.
05:07 The sheer variety of choice and things to do easily makes Red Dead Redemption 2 one
05:12 of the best open-world games to play right now.
05:15 So what are you waiting for, partner?
05:17 [Sounds of the game]
05:26 Geralt isn't perfect.
05:28 His surroundings aren't perfect either.
05:31 War ravages most of the countryside, with bloodthirsty creatures who don't even stick
05:35 to the shadows anymore preying on innocent people.
05:38 And yet that's what makes it the best open-world game to play right now, still.
05:42 Because everything is broken in its own special way.
05:45 There's always something plastered on peeling notice boards for Geralt to do.
05:49 For gold, though, of course.
05:50 Stick to the dirt country roads and help villagers with the monsters baying at their door while
05:54 they look at you and your yellow eyes with suspicion.
05:57 Negotiate with well-meaning poltergeists in the middle of the city, or just uncover all
06:01 those mysterious question marks dotted all over the map.
06:04 The Witcher 3's imperfect world makes for a perfect game, meaning it has set an incredibly
06:09 high bar for the future of open-world games.
06:13 And there you have it, that's our list of the best open-world games you can play right
06:16 now.
06:17 If you think we missed any off this list, then let us know down in the comments below,
06:21 and we'll see you on the next video.
