Best Open World Games | Eastern NC Now

    The open world and complete freedom of action have always attracted gamers, especially if it is a truly living environment where everything is interconnected. The list of such games on PC is quite large. Some of them allow you to become an action hero, others give you a chance to try on a pirate's hat, and others seem to take you to the pages of a dark fairy tale.

    In many of these games, you can not only develop the storyline and complete side quests but also completely change the structure of this world and the balance of power in it. The best projects allow you to decide for yourself who to be: a warrior with high moral principles or a bandit without honour and conscience.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    The Witcher 3 has become a true example of a new generation of role-playing adventures. Its huge, bright, rich and truly living world makes an indelible impression from the very first minutes of passing. The environment worked out to the smallest detail allows you to immerse yourself in the game process, becoming a witch hunter and terrible monsters for a while. You can endlessly explore dangerous forests and gloomy swamps, and each time you will find something new for yourself. Almost all the characters associated with the storyline look unique, as well as the secondary characters of the game and even ordinary residents of cities. All of them are part of a large open world, perceived as one big, living organism.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    The TES series of games is a trendsetter in the fantasy RPG genre with a seamless open world. Released back in 2011, Skyrim still attracts fans of the uncharted lands of mainland Tamriel. In this game, you can freely roam throughout the province of the same name, which includes nine large cities, many different villages and vast expanses of wild lands and snow-capped mountains. According to the developers themselves, the game process, which includes completing quests, side quests and simply exploring locations, can take about 500 hours.

Forza Horizon 3

    This game is an excellent racing simulator that allows you to travel the length and breadth of a huge map that will remind you of Australia with its variety of landscapes. This huge sandbox doesn't confine you to arcades or ask you to follow a specific route. The whole world of the game is available for exploration and search for special tasks and missions. It can be driving through dangerous turns with the passage of checkpoints or even performing tricks on rough terrain. As always in the Forza Horizon series, your choice of cars from all over the planet. A variety of tasks, huge locations and detailed study make Forza Horizon 3 one of the most exciting racing games on PC.

Far Cry 4

    A multi-platform open-world action game set in the Himalayas in the fictional region of Kyrat. It will have to be conquered in the truest sense of the word, since chaos and lawlessness rule over the entire territory, behind which the local dictator stands.

    Far Cry 4 will not offer a giant map, but the detail and saturation of the existing one will not disappoint you at all. The locations in the game look very original and at the same time attractive, because the graphics, as always, are on top. The developers have done a lot of work on the terrain, various dynamic objects, weather conditions and other very important details. The game will definitely appeal to all fans of shooting and unpredictable action in the open world.
