Answers on a postcard how you quantify a 'level' in an open-world game, but Final Fantasy XV's most recognisable introductory expanse is also its best.

Yes, there's a moment where you get a glimpse into a monster-infested future and the likes of Altissia are absolutely stunning (if not devoid of main missions to complete therein), but gallivanting through Duscae and breathing in its fantastic 'old meets new' mix of monsters, Chocobo farms, gas stations and motels is one of the finest open-world experiences money can buy.
