10 Most Beautiful Open World Video Games You Must Play

9. Death Stranding

Horizon Zero Dawn
Kojima Productions

The first release produced by Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions following their move from Konami, Death Stranding is a 2019 open world action game that proved not all apocalyptic wastelands have to be ugly. The game sees players take control of Sam Porter Bridges, a courier tasked with rebuilding a ravaged world through delivering essential supplies and hooking up connections between settlements.

There's sort of an eerie sensation to be had in falling head over heels in love with the atmosphere of a world absolutely ravaged by monstrous creatures, but Death Stranding really is an experience players shouldn't miss out on.

With cargo strapped on a player's back, the huge open spaces, tall mountains ranges and harsh weather conditions feel that much more powerful and make them feel like they really are on the edge of the end of the world and with a huge gruelling task on the horizon.
