10 Amazing Video Games With Terrible Open Worlds

A Playstation 4 launch title, Sucker Punch brought their Infamous series to the new generation with a new setting, new characters and a new story. One would think a new Infamous title would be a sure bet... but one would be wrong.

By no means a bad game, it did launch to mediocre reviews, thanks, in large part, to its real-life, open-world setting of Seattle.

While it made for a pretty skyline, Second Son's Seattle never truly felt like a real city, which was a problem, as this marked the first time an Infamous game didn't take place in a fictional setting. It also didn't help that there was heck-all to do.

Zipping around town as a plume of smoke or a bolt of light looked and felt amazing, but once the novelty wore off, you realized how limited the open world activities were.

Essentially, you mostly found yourself traveling to and from enemy outposts. Other activities, such as tagging various spots around town with graffiti, were nice, but hardly substantive enough to support an entire sandbox.

That's to say nothing of the story, which basically ended in its second act, but that's a whole different article.
