20 Stunning Open World Game Areas That Left You SPEECHLESS

13. The Quantum Moon's Sixth Location (Outer Wilds)

If you've ever wanted to venture into space but can't join NASA, then Mobius Digital's astonishing Outer Wilds is a damn good consolation prize. Although, this whole game is reliant on your curiosity and discovery, so you might want to look past this entry if you've not played it yet. 

The Quantum Moon's Sixth Location is a baffling yet mind-blowing area that offers you a picturesque, serene space full of swirling patterns and odd landscapes. 

On top of this location looking incredible, it's also a testament to the journey you've been on. Just being able to reach this area requires painstaking amounts of knowledge and research, which you can only gain by exploring the map and learning the fundamentals of the game's quantum mechanics. The game rewards this hard work with an incredibly unique area, not to mention a massive plot revelation that knocks your socks off.  

Yes, besides the cool setting, the Sixth Location also surprises you with a living Nomai, the lost alien species driving the plot, something you'd thought you'd never see at this point in the game. It's one of Outer Wilds' most profound moments, making this area an absolute shoo-in for this list.
