20 Stunning Open World Game Areas That Left You SPEECHLESS

15. Hawk Peak (A Short Hike)

For anyone who hasn't played this wonderful indie game, do yourself a favour and give it a try. It's a peaceful, heart-warming little adventure that will plug an iv of pure joy directly into your veins. The game revolves around a young bird making her way to the top of Hawk Peak, the mountainous centre of a picturesque provincial park. Given that the whole experience is focused on this specific area, it's no surprise that it is so breathtaking. 

Reaching the summit of the mountain is a wondrous moment, as it feels like a whole new world compared to the rest of the game. The summery colours of the map are replaced with a rich purple and a green aurora borealis trailing across the sky. You can sense the sheer height thanks to the snow-laden ground and endless view, making you feel like you're on top of the world. 

While it's important to remember that it's all about the journey, not the destination, it's still nice when the destination pays off this well. Plus, in typical gaming tradition, as this is the game's highest point, you can jump off it and glide around the entire map.
