15 Best Open-World Video Games Of All Time

2. Minecraft

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Minecraft's open-world is that each one is different, and belongs solely to the player who created it. Many games attempt to create a experience that is unique to each player, but few have ever achieved it the way Minecraft has.

If you've played Minecraft, it's highly unlikely that it was anything at all like the time someone else played it, as the world created within was unique to him or her. In the truest sense of the word play, Minecraft is about playing. It's a beautiful moment when you create a new Minecraft world and see what goodies await you, and how quickly you'll have to take shelter to avoid the monsters that will come out of the dark.

Straight-up fun is mixed with terror, which often sees the player scrambling for a good hiding spot or engaging in some combat with your hand-crafted sword. You create the world, fill it with whatever you wish and make it your own, which makes Minecraft one of the most incredible open-world games ever.
