10 Best Open-World Games Of The 2010s (That AREN'T GTA)

10. Infamous 2

When the PlayStation 3 dropped in 2006, it took Sucker Punch another three years to release the first Infamous for it. A mostly polished superpowered title, it garnered a good enough following to warrant a sequel which released in 2011.

This was the follow-up the original needed: wide, expansive, improving upon the original's powers and also swapping out the old generic Empire City with the more visually compelling New Marais, an obvious virtual representation of New Orleans, unless the title wasn't obvious enough.

Cole's mobility was much better suited to the train car-riddled streets of Marais and it was able to set itself apart from other city-inspired sandboxes.

Second Son sadly went back to the cityscape in 2014, but the image of swampy Orleans-esque New Marais lingered in the heads of many players, and the ways in which the story took you through the entire map were fun and interesting.

So long, New Marais, we barely knew ye.
