15 Best Open-World Video Games Of All Time

11. Fable

In the world of gaming, Peter Molyneux is often ridiculed for promising very much and not quite delivering on all of the things that he boasts about.

Despite this love-hate relationship, Molyneux is someone who you can tell is very passionate about this great industry, and it shows in his games. When he initially began talking about Fable, it was touted as the greatest game in the history of mankind. While that was probably a little off the mark, Fable remains as one of the most uniquely-fascinating games in recent memory.

There's a childlike innocence to the game, as the ongoing narrative seems heavily inspired by fairy tales, weaving its own dark take on these classic yarns. As you explore the surrounding world however, you begin to notice how densely packed the world actually is.

The world of Albion feels very organic and flowing, as if you're living within your own storybook. There's a nice bit of optional side-questing as well, and it all tends to meld together in a very realistic way.
