10 Best Open-World Video Games

10. Minecraft

Minecraft is a fairly literal version of an open world. You can go in any direction, do anything you want to do and build whatever you fancy with very few rules. It’s the complete freedom of agency that makes Mojang's creation so great, not to mention the fact that every new world is different from the last.

In most open world games you’ll run out of content eventually, but the main focus here is the lack of solid content, you get to create your own adventure.

It might seem like an excuse for not providing a legitimate story or objective, but it’s quite the opposite. Minecraft is absolutely packed with things to do:

You can set out on a quest to find treasure, or venture out to defeat deadly enemies. It’s even better when you take the fun online, playing with your friends to mine, build and explore together.

Minecraft may be a huge, open sandbox, but it never feels empty.
