20 Most Addictive Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

3. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Then again, there's a whole other definition of immersive that can be applied to the new Zelda. Its potent mix of "Just go figure it out!" exploration is neatly contrasted against specific levels and story milestones.

No sooner will you have lost 10 hours darting from one structure to another, managing stamina meters, climbing and collecting tons of items, that you'll stumble upon a handful of underground puzzle shrines or take part in a characterful story quest.

I'm over 80 hours into Breath of the Wild now, and I finished the main story within the first 25. There's just an absurd amount of content to soak in, reliant on your own dynamic interactions with the world, and a sense that some guiding hand is always ensuring you're seeing the good stuff.
