10 Most Immersive Open World Games
3. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is as massive and visually spectacular as every other title on this list. However, rather than sheer scale alone, it’s the depth of this world and the stories told within it that makes this game a remarkable odyssey.
Throughout Geralt’s continent-spanning quest to find Ciri, players will spend dozens of hours slaying monsters and playing Gwent between main quests. Likewise, the immense quantity of question marks scattered across the map are enticing promises of extra objectives to complete along the way too. While plodding through this lengthy list of tasks is certainly enough to keep players busy for a long time, it’s CD Projekt Red’s exquisite writing and attention to detail that will keep players fully immersed in this world of monsters and men.
No matter how insignificant a quest may seem, each one is tied to a rich and engaging narrative. There’s no such thing as a small quest here; even the scavenger hunts are connected to their own narrative told through letters and notes found along the way.
The world of The Witcher 3 is brought to life through intriguing storytelling which turns the most mundane of tasks into an epic adventure.
