I lived in RDR2 for months. I spent days fishing and hunting a particular wolf. I’ll never forget coming back to the camp and finding a party taking place, just wandering around catching snatches of conversations. Shame about the Caribbean island and that bloody epilogue.
There's a right way to do open world and a wrong way. The wrong way is having an open world that feels empty. These are all great examples of the right way to do it
Mafia 2 was beautiful but the city felt ultimately dead for the most part. I think the focus on the GTA series on this vid was on the third one; well that as well as Vice City and San Andreas, was essentially you driving through an empty hollow movie set. Not that the above mentioned games sucked; they ARE immersive but not to the degree of a living breathing city but sometimes it got close
Red Dead Redemption 2 is unmatched until today! Out from every Assassins Creed Game, I think Unity in Paris had the most immerse feeling with Paris looking amazing
@ gotta have time to really get into it. Luckily when it came out I had a lot of time to dive deep into it. Also, looking up TH-cam videos on rdr2 helped me understand a lot of things that rockstar doesn’t tell you
Sleeping Dogs is literally one of the most underated games in history. It still feels just a few years old. Whe I first came out, it was like a revolution in the gaming world, a milestone, the graphics, gameplay, storyline... the world of Hong Kong was absolutely perfect for an open world game!
I will never forget the first time when i stepped into Tossaint in Witcher 3. It is a totally different vibe from the other areas, tho they are good in their own way as well.
Ever since reaching Valentine in RDR2 no other game seemed so full of life. And it's not about amount of NPCs. Nice list though. I'll probaby try Syndicate, looks nice. 🙂
Yeah Witcher 3 and RDR2 still has the best example of a city or place being alive. Most of these, like Hitman are simply just have many NPC's walking around and doing stuff. That alone doesn't make the world feel immersive.
Witcher 3 is one of the, if not the best rpg game I’ve played. Everything feels alive and lived in. If only we can erase our memories of the game, so we can freshly immerse into the game once more.
Mad Max is such an underrated game. It’s a hidden gem that flew under a lot of people’s radar in 2015 for a couple of reasons, one being that a lot of people mistakenly assumed that it was going to be another bad movie tie in game. Another reason being that 2015 was a really solid year for gaming with a lot of big releases overshadowing Mad Max’s release like Metal Gear Solid V, The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight, Fallout 4, Bloodborne, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Halo 5, Black Ops 3, Dying Light, etc. Needless to say that was a year of big releases in the gaming industry. But regardless, Mad Max is an extremely solid open world game with satisfying combat, extensive customization, and plenty of things to do. I can’t recommend it enough to people who are fans of the Mad Max films or post apocalyptic genre.
Im really glad watch dogs 2 was on this list. Its the reason I kept coming back to the game years after release. For some reason the vibrancy and liveliness of the city were addicting to be a part of.
Syndicate is my favourite AC game, I always struggle to explain why. I think you did it perfectly. It’s literally so immersive in a way the other games don’t hit.
I own a few of those titles but The Witcher was the only game that made me feel like I wasn't playing a Game I was experiencing another world. It was haunting!
Obviously you’ve never played Cyberpunk 2077 , game was great on release and has only been made better by CDPR updates. If you have played , I’m assuming you played on old gen console or a PC that can’t run it properly.
KCD is a fantastically immersive game, which makes you feel as though you are there in person. It gets additional bonus points for it's historical realism too.
It‘s interesting to hear that, in Mad Max, “every location feels purposely designed”. I’m getting tired of games which were designed purely by accident.
You’re being annoyingly pedantic for no reason. It’s common sense that some games are developed with more intention and planning put into their design. That shouldn’t even need to be explained, it’s just literally obvious to anyone that’s ever played a game.
Dying Light 1 with its 3 maps - Slums, Old Town, and The Following - are some of the most lived in video game environments I've ever played. I can't believe it didn't make this list.
Kenshi is one of my favorite open-world games that feels so alive, with every faction, hostile or friendly, interacting with each other. Caravans keep the market rolling, and faction leaders getting killed or kidnapped can affect an entire settlement or faction's aftermath, such as being occupied by a rival faction or falling into ruins. Its open-world exploration is unforgiving and dangerous.
I’m not much of a gamer but in my older age I played red dead redemption 2 and was in awe with the landscapes and all the activities I could do like fish, hunt, treasure hunt, and play a hand of poker. I’m here to find some other great open world games to explore. Thanks for the recommendations, I’m going to try the Mafia 2 and a detective game called LA Noire my nephew suggested. Cheers!
I think GTA IV, liberty city was very underrated. I spent hours there exploring and marveling at the graphics, the physics, the lighting, draw distance and of course, being in a city that for me, was the first that felt truly alive.
According to the GTAIV preview at Eurogamer, art director Aaron Garbut specificly instructed the world artists to make sure every crack and dent had its history.
Honorable mention to Days Gone. A fairly small world but an engaging game. Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful world. Forza Horizon 3 and 4 both won me over with their world design.
I have played several of these. It’s a great genre. I especially like hardcore survival games, so of the ones I’ve played here, Fallout 4 is my favorite. Particularly so, because it features console mod support, which lets me tweak, or overhaul it, to my heart’s desire. If I could include a game on this list, definitely going with Cyberpunk 2077. It has a great layout, that makes sense. There’s industrial zones, residential, downtown, energy sector, etc, all the kinds of zones a functioning city needs.
But on console in performance mode(or even high fidelity mode for that matter), the NPC density and amount of cars are severely inconsistent. Sometimes a street in the middle of the city becomes a barren ghost town. Ofc on PC there's an option for NPC density, but thats not the point. AC Unity(2014) had the most massive amount of NPC's(no cars or carriages tho).
RDR2 and Stalker always did it for me. Absolutely top of the line games, partly due to their exquisite atmospheres. GTA IV, Mafia, and Hogwarts also hit the mark for sure.
Especially when you have Hitman, Watchdogs 2 and Flight simulator of all things 😂 it's one thing to be open world with many NPC walking around. It's another to make it feel alive and breathing, none of these 3 games have that. They're just as alive as most Spiderman games and Hogwarts.
I did not want to spend time in that open world. I never just got in my car and drove around with no goal. Never wanted to like I did with other games on this list.
Mafia 3 : beautifully atmospheric maps with specificity in environments, interesting story, humour. Umity dense with detail and crowds on par with syndicate in terms of intricacy. Both patched and great by the time I got to them.
cyberpunk is similar to starfield, soulless city and npc. Everyone just standing or walking around for nothing. Even oblivion 2006 game has npc routine duh
What an awesome list! And believe me, as a 62-year-old gaming curmudgeon who only likes about one in every 1,000 games, this is saying quite a bit. Another game I would have liked to see on the list is Saboteur.
@@КириллШилейкис-б7шI totally disagree. Sure if you stare at them for long enough maybe but I think it’s cool how you’d see so many different animations. Like one dude eating some bread, two guys fixing a wagon wheel, people bartering at markets, tailors fitting clothes, random street fights, love triangles and all kinds of life
Damn, to be able to fly around in Microsoft flight simulator, and make it to my area.. to my neck of the woods, just to see the shitty trailer I live in would be awesome!!
Sad to not see Baldur’s Gate 3 on this list, it’s amazing and sooo immersive. You didn’t miss with my other favs tho! Some of the best games ever made.
Kingdom come deliverance is probably the best open world game I’ve ever played. It really feels like the NPC’s live there. The second game is gonna be unreal
For the time it was released, Saint's Row 2 felt VERY lived in. There was alaways something going on. There was always an NP. doing something that made it feel.realistic.
Recently I have been playing Mafia 2's Friends for Life mod which gives us a free ride type of mode just like Mafia 1. It is the best video game mod I have ever played I was able to notice Mafia 2's enviorenment properly.
Just finished Hogwarts Legacy and am about to start Red Dead 2 for the first time (I didn't have a console for years so am catching up on recommendations now). Witcher 3 was incredible but to hear that so many think RDR2 has an even better open world than that seems like it's pretty good to me! (No spoilers please!!!!).
came to say that, it is genuinely so lifeless and awful. must be, how can anyone not pronounce 'Valentine'? like i get Saint Denis, but like Valentine, really?
Im sorry, but Hogwarts Legacys World doesent feel lived in at all. Theres nothing dynamic, the npcs dont have a day cycle or anything. At night the dorms are empty and all students just despawned, etc
Some great games RDR2 is THE game though on my 5th playthrough.. As a Side note you cant climb big ben as Big Ben is actually The Bell inside the tower..
Despite the lack of an actual engaging open world I don’t think any game even comes close to the open world of mafia definitive that game is gorgeous even on my old ass tv from like 2005
Have you checked out Homefront: The Revolution? It is not one large map. It has several smaller maps. But feels lived in and has hidden small bases and abandoned apartments.
This video came out 4 days after the game released so they might not have had time to properly play the game but I feel like Stalker 2 belongs on this list as well
Any games we missed?
Assassins creed Unity
not the game but the version? yes. hogwarts legacy is also on switch
Ac unity
Ac mirage
Assassin's Creed Odyssey, mate...
Acts Odyssey, Origin, and Valhalla. As far as that goes most of the AC games.
Red dead redemption 2 is a home run for me.
same
Indeed
I lived in RDR2 for months. I spent days fishing and hunting a particular wolf. I’ll never forget coming back to the camp and finding a party taking place, just wandering around catching snatches of conversations. Shame about the Caribbean island and that bloody epilogue.
It is the best game ever made.
@paulannable3734 im on my 5th playthrough and it amazes me how I always find something new each time.

There's a right way to do open world and a wrong way. The wrong way is having an open world that feels empty. These are all great examples of the right way to do it
Spot on
actually no. At least hogwarts legacy OW does not feel alive in hamlets. All merchants standing day and night full year in snow in summer clothes...

Great game. I bought it online for my PS4. €5 price. 💪
Good game. But it starts to feel repetitive later on in the game.
Thanks, I’m going to check it out
I just bought it a week ago. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, just never took the time.
Rdr2 and gta are peak of open world games
What about watch dogs?
KIDDO
@@itz_archi_69 i think you haven't played watch dogs yet...🤷🏻
bro forget the witcher 3 the biggest game in history
You forgot to mention the KING "Skyrim"
Im really glad watch dogs 2 was on this list. Its the reason I kept coming back to the game years after release. For some reason the vibrancy and liveliness of the city were addicting to be a part of.
Gta and rdr 2 is much more immersive than watch dogs. WD aint even close to rockstar games fr
@@l2t865Sleeping Dogs is even better
At least you get to do more cool things
And the missions make it fun also
And has a decent living world too
@@breckindoll4973Watch dogs more immersive than gta 5? 😂😂. Sure bro sure

I’m not. I don’t think it belongs with these games.
Night city is really well designed, and I love the game, but outside of missions it feels empty!
I came for cyberpunk to this video 😤
14:16 saint dennis is crazy, might wanna actually play the game
I think this guy appreciates dynamic weather
We need a good Game Of Thrones game.
KCD is a fantastically immersive game, which makes you feel as though you are there in person. It gets additional bonus points for it's historical realism too.
skyrim + Red Dead Redemption 2

You guys just rattled off some of my all time favorites...
KCD and S.T.A.L.K.E.R are truly underappreciated masterpieces.
Hitman is just NOT an open-world game.
According to the GTAIV preview at Eurogamer, art director Aaron Garbut specificly instructed the world artists to make sure every crack and dent had its history.
the realistic open world list i was searching..thanks
Elden Ring ain't lived-in, it's all enemies walking back and forth and the npcs barely look alive.
Honorable mention to Days Gone. A fairly small world but an engaging game.
Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful world.

We're missing Mafia III (Yeah, I said it) and Ghost of Tsushima

Skipping Assassin’s Creed unity is wild. THE CROWDS were massive….. but I’m waiting for someone to comment about the bugs and how the game “sux”

You should include GHOST RECON WILDLANDS

Looking forward to "The Blood of Dawnwalker" and its dynamic world that will adjust based on player decisions.
The fact Cyberpunk wasn’t on this list but all that other malarkey was is baffling.
All 3 mafia games should be in one on this list same for my favourite assassin's creed odyssey
Nah.. Only mafia 2 can come in this list
Nah there all good thats your opinion good but but for me mafia 1 remastered or remake is my favourite of them so
Lighning Effect in MAFIA 2 and SLEEPING DOGS is GREAT

Pity Yakuza isn't even mentioned. The small open world is full of life and atmosphere, very rich in culture.

How many times do you have to say "bustling" in a single video? Script revision for variety next time
There is only one...RDR2

Should be number one!
It’s just a list of some of the greatest games. But not the most lived in!

You might be able to find someone to recover the data from those lost drives. It might be expensive though.
You missed just cause 2, AC4BF
Nothing beats Farcry 5, even Witcher3 or RDR2

Nice to mention Syndicate, but Black Flag and Unity are way more memorable.
Gothic 2 is a great choice!
This video came out 4 days after the game released so they might not have had time to properly play the game but I feel like Stalker 2 belongs on this list as well
