10 Most Immersive Open World Games
8. Sea Of Thieves
Unlike the other titles featured here, Sea Of Thieves isn’t an expansive RPG. Instead, Rare’s popular pirating game is a multiplayer sandbox which gives crews of players a pirate ship and some basic equipment before setting them loose in the world to forge their own sea-faring adventure.
From a selection of voyages leading to hordes of loot, a host of story-driven adventures, or exploring the tropical island locations for the secrets they hold, there’s no shortage of things to do within this pirating world.
But what makes Sea Of Thieves' swashbuckling world so immersive is how it balances the beauty of its scenery with unpredictable emergent gameplay to create unforgettable gaming experiences.
No two sessions in Sea Of Thieves are ever the same. What starts as hunting down buried treasure could transform into an epic ship battle at the drop of a hat. Or an unlikely alliance may result in hauling in larger treasures than you could have ever imagined.
However, the seas are also big enough with horizons stunning enough to make sailing aimlessly around the open waters an enjoyable experience. But be warned: a kraken or skeleton ship attack could shatter the tranquility at any moment.
