Bro I can still play vanilla Skyrim and enjoy it almost as much as the first time, it’s just too big. Screw them people who say that nonsense about how trash the story is- I don’t care, I feel like such a gamer.
Man once you get a horse!!!!!!!!! The neihoff murders all those animals and people I try to tell people that you have to really really give it time once you do wow
Or what about when you have to become a student in that monk school!! That was wild having to wake up an go to class an eat with your peers crazy felt real af!!!
Just recently started playing The Witcher 3 on my Xbox Series S, and I must say just WOW! I haven't been this immersed in a game for a long time. And visually it isjust stunning for such an old game!
Glad to see Dragon's Dogma getting more love. It's also the only game I've ever played where your characters body type effects the game - if you are too tall, you can't fit into certain areas, too short, you can't get to certain cliffs. The bigger you are, the more you carry and the smaller you are, the more fast you are.
I had a lightweight/ medium weight character and I remember a certain section of the game where it was super windy my character could barely run meanwhile my pawn (who was a huge warrior) was casually walking so I started walking behind him LOL. Also I remember being too tall to fit into a hole in a goblin fortress so I just threw another pawn into the hole to grab an item for me
And now we about to get Dragon Dogma 2. Hope it’s as good as the first one and they keep/ add new mechanics to the game. Glad we finally getting another one after all this time.
No game has come close to the mind boggling nature of oblivion to me when I first played it. The idea that I could walk from the mountains to the imperial city without any barriers, with a bunch of stuff to do along the way, was insane. I had never played an open world game before that, and it was also the first Xbox 360 game I had ever seen or owned. Absolutely mind blowing graphics, physics, world, customization, everything was so different and fresh. Suffice to say Bethesda studios open world games have been a favorite since but Oblivion and Fallout 3 were the most impressive and continue to be my favorites.
Oblivion was the first ever open world RPG I played. Definitely was too much of a noob back then to fully appreciate everything the game offered haha. Pretty sure I beat the main questline at level 14 because I didn’t realize I had to sleep to level up
Loved that you put Kingdoms of Amalur in there, you play Skyrim with all the muted color tones and then pop in Reckoning, and its like whooooooooooaaa, so many COLORS! Dragon Age Inquisition, love it on so many levels--storyline, characters, environment and voice acting-all masterfully done. Finding Skyhold for the first time literally took my breath away - wandering around in Skyrim is like being on vacation...with highwaymen and dragons. Subnautica is exciting and calming at the same time, how can that be? Love these games so much, they helped me through some really tough times. Thank you, developers and thank you gameranx for posting!
My favorite genre, definitely. Sometimes I get a little sick of Skyrim so I have to start another game but then I get back to Skyrim because the love for it never ends. ☺
I have thousands of hours in Skyrim and New Vegas and every once in a while I'll still find something I've never come across before. Some cave or quest I never noticed. What an experience those games are.
I can't beat the monstrous child so I got stuck on progression and put it down since then. I don't mind challenges but if it stops me progressing I'm easily put off. I might go and do some other quests if I can be bothered. Got it on PS5 for cheap before the update and price hike. Right now I am knee deep in Jedi Survivor. Even then I put aside some of the challenges while I do other stuff and level up a bit more. Already at 76% in and put aside one of the main quest boss fights for the moment (I died so many times on Jedi Knight difficulty). Guess I am not a Souls type gamer.
Dragon's Dogma doesn't get the attention it deserves. It was one of the most memorable games I've played. The combat is so good and entertaining. Playing as a mage archer was a lot of fun. Great video, btw. You guys are top notch.
Dragons Dogma was truly game ahead of its time. One of my absolute favorites. For current gen games Elden Ring completely absorbed me trying to explore every location. 200 hours so far.
I remember back when I bought our Xbox One, it was part of a Gamestop package that allowed you to pick one free game, no limit. I didn't even have anything in mind, but everyone was talking about W3, so I just went, "That one." I figured if I was going to get something new, it might as well be one of the high-priced ones. Turned out to be a good decision, lol.
I think a big contributor to this ability to get lost in the world is how the side quests are presented. That’s why from this list The Witcher III takes the cake for me.
I felt just the opposite, it felt bland and uninspired to me. felt like fallout and skyrim had a baby with dragon age and they made the combat worse than fallout. I coulnd't bring myself to care about the world or characters just felt so meh to me. I"m not trying to take away from your enjoyment nor do i think my words should. Just interesting to me how differently we can view the same thing.
@@ShinobiDrip999 That is the word I hear but in my experience I had to force myself to keep playing becuase i thought it'd get better and it just didn't for me.
I remember being home alone some night back in 2011 playing Skyrim and all of a sudden the sun was rising. It's insane how that game always has something else to do or explore. The only other game that I played from this list is The Witcher 3, and it almost felt like Skyrim immersion-wise to me.
Dragon's Dogma had no reliance on fast travel, which is great for a game like this! You had to plan out your journey, make sure you had enough fuel for your lanterns and medicines etc. It is such a fun experience!
I actually really liked Dragon's Dogma's fast travel system, because I had to plan for it, and arrange where I wanted to go ahead of time. If I didn't, then I had a 20-minute walk to look forward to, and nobody but myself to blame. It was awesome
Subnautica is one of my favorite games of all time. The beauty of the world hides the fact that it can be truly frightening at times. Wandering at night and suddenly hearing a Reaper Leviathan that’s close can raise the tension in your life real fast. I’ve probably got more than 500 hours in it by now.
Although it may not be the most detailed game out there, Ghost of Tsushima is that game for me. It's an incredibly captivating story that made me want to explore every possible inch of the world. I wanted to do every quest I possibly could and get everything else I could. I even had real attachment to the side characters and loved each of their mini storylines. Fantastic game! Here's to hoping for a part 2!
I was waiting for that and RDR2 but nope. I guess GOT is a bit less open worldy than some of the others. But so atmospheric and gorgeous to immerse yourself in. It really feels like you are in feudal Japan.
Same I already clocked in over 100 hours on Ghost and Im not even at 50% completion yet cause I keep exploring instead of doing quests most of the time 😂
Agreed. The story and the environment were equally gorgeous. It’s one of the games I completed 100% and wanted more. Masterfully done and I yearn for a sequel.
Kingdom come deliverance does it for me one of the most immersive games ive ever played the sunrise and sunset mechanics whilst your walking through the forests are something else
The game combat system really bored me a little, I just hope the combat more interesting but it is a first-person-view game so maybe developers are in their quest for breakthrough ideas
@@vinceely2906You can turn the reticle on with a simple console command (on pc) and tbf the way the combat system exists in the game kind of requires auto lock. It would be pretty hard to use the various attacks if you weren’t locked on an enemy. Although it definitely takes getting used to.
nice to see Kingdom Come get a mention, got it for free on epic games and it's one of my absolute favourite games now. Fantastic story, sweet combat, stealth mechanics if you want to, its fantastic in so many ways!
Yesss! Ghost of Tsushima was the last game I played on PS4 Pro before I moved onto PC all the way. It’s a masterpiece and I got lost in it as well. Still waiting for a steam release someday.
The Yakuza series with Kamurocho and Sotenbori, not the biggest world but the series proves you don't need a "big" world to have it densely packed with distractions and things to do
Love that game. Criminally underrated. It pulls off a neat trick of being both an in depth RPG and a great pick up and play for half an hour brawler as well.
@@michaelfoley906 the developer and publisher had some misunderstanding with each other AFAIK. KoA should've been released as MMO RPG in the first place. Something went wrong, but it's a great game after all. Gave me those awesome Fable I vibes.
KoA had an amazing world built for it, just to be utilized by incompetent writers who must have sat on Wikipedia looking up high fantasy tropes to draw from.
Loved Kingdoms of Amalur . Was a classic game. Different settlements, DLC's . Just a great game. Also still playing Witcher 3. Can literally play the game for years
I trained with the captain for three hours real time to learn the combat system in kingdom come and I walked away feeling like a real master swordsman. Very satisfying because you were getting better at the game and your character was getting better at the same time.
For me personally, this list would've also included RDR2, Assassin's Creed Unity aswell as Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey. Elden Ring and Sekiro shadows die twice would also be on this list
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 I agree with every point. Although I would really love to see a Bloodborne 2, but that’s just a dream(no pun intended), because it never happens.
I'm going to recommend a different genre of game than the others on this list, but I really enjoyed the relationship building and crafting in My Time at Portia. It's a chill RPG that I sunk a surprising amount of time into. There's a lot of freedom to explore and do whatever you want. Whether you want to focus on crafting, farming, fishing, or battling monsters, there's something for everyone in My Time at Portia.
I'd just like to add that Cyberpunk is an amazing game. Yeah it had a terrible launch, nobody is denying that. But the content in the game now is really freakin' good, and the new DLC coming this year is going to add full vehicle combat and a reworked police system.
Everyone knows The Witcher 3 is outstanding so I won't go on about that, but massive shout out to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I had SUCH a blast on that game, it's truly one of a kind I think. Amazing main story, excellent side quests that are hugely varied and still awesome looking graphics to this day. Highly recommend it for fans of RPGs, also got a great money system too as normally I'm rich early on it feels like but not in this one.
I'm so glad to see Kingdom Come: Deliverance on this list. I heard the game released in a poor state, but when I played it I was blown away. It's maybe my favorite game ever. I absolutely love realism in games and KC:D did it so well. Going from a nobody who can't do anything to an absolutely loaded low-key brigand who everyone thinks is a great guy was so fun. Everybody loved me and had no idea that I waa the one pickpocketing everyone and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down lmao. Just remember, if you play this game, that everything gets better with experience. At the start everything is hard. Lockpicking and combat seem absolutely untenable, but with practice they become a total breeze, and you'll master the skills you put effort into, and nothing else. Also, go learn to read ASAP. It's extremely important.
Skyrim is one of the few games where you get so immersed that you become your character. I think i spent as much time decorating my tiny cozy house as i did slaying beasts.
Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are the greatest open world games of all time for me by far. They are in a league of their own compared to all others open world games
Witcher 3 just didn't do it for me personally but I probably need to give it another chance. Red Dead Redemption 2 meanwhile is my favorite game of all time and I can't think of a better videogame character than Arthur Morgan.
Im so happy to see subnautica on this list, as a person with thalassaphobia i had a hard time getting into it but once I got over that I'm multiple save and about 400 hours sunk into it. (No pun intended) By far my favorite game tht I have played in a long time. Sooo freaking immersive, I love it
it's because most open world city games are shallow....most of the buildings can't be entered and exploring a city isn't as immersive as exploring a fantasy rpg world
@@phantom3146 true but with fantasy you don't know what you will find because magic and myth are only limited by devs imagination...in city games they have to be more grounded in reality
Skyrim will always have me. Skyrim is home to me. It's beautiful, and while the combat isn't great, the world itself is so vaste that I can be addicted for hours. All while doing another playthrough once I'm done.
I spent hundreds of hours on the PS2 game Steambot Chronicles. While the game doesn't have anywhere near the same level of branching narratives like Skyrim, Fallout, or most of the games on this list, you could still do a lot of things and never have the exact same play through. For one, you had this little "personality test" at the start of every game, which determined things like how much money you could earn and how you would react in some scenes of the campaign. Then you had a host of options to choose from during many interactions, from playing the amnesiac as a nutjob who salutes everybody he meets to demanding money from everyone who asks you for a ride during missions. It got to the point that I had so many saves on a single memory card, with dozens of different sessions, that I ultimately had delete everything just to well and truly start fresh (and not eat up as much memory with the 40-50 different saves, lol)
It's really awesome that Kingdom Come got some love here! It's my favorite game by far because it treats you as a weak human. You need to learn the game and not just upgrade levels and poof you're powerful now. Recently completed it on Hardcore mode with every Nerf activated. Man I loved it!
@@radeksilar543 Not the Tavern but the Woods if I remember correctly. Caught me off guard quite some times actually, because you don't know where you are on the map and the woods are extremely accurate, so mostly you have no clue where you are.
Rdr2. I love the realism, setting, and most importantly Arthur Morgan. I don't think I have ever felt more attached to a fictional character. Playing as him made me feel like I was playing as a real person, what an incredible character. The best videogame character period imo.
@@Paul_Waller Um an incredible campaign and open world. I haven't even touched the multi-player once lol and I have beat the main story multiple times.
I wish we could get a 60fps update for consoles. One of my favorite games, but that 30fps is rough. If they sold a current gen version, I'd buy it immediately
Elden Ring is number 1 for me. That world Fromsoft created was freaking amazing. It just kept getting bigger and bigger. Exploration was always rewarding in some way. Then you go down a lift and realize the game is twice as big as you thought.
Me playing Witcher 3. "I should probably take a break, I haven't slept in two days. Cancel that, just spotted a question mark on the map 50 miles away from the village I'm in."
@@dasik84 I really don’t know what that has to do with anything. The name of the video is “10 game worlds You can absolutely get lost in.” They both fit the criteria. What platform they’re on is completely inconsequential.
@@Th33anomaly It's relevant because Nintendo is absolutely niche. It's its own ecosystem of games, completely separated from all others. PlayStation, Xbox and PC - while 3 different platforms - are same ecosystem. Like North Atlantic civilization. Let's say Hollywood. Nintendo is like anime or Bollywood, completely separated culture, completely different.
@@Th33anomaly Lol agree. BOTW and TOTK are both very easy to get lost in and spend hours off on your own just exploring. Them being on Switch has zero relevance. Lmaooo he said Bollywood like that backs up his weak a$$ argument! 😂
I'm so glad you mentioned Vermintide in this clip. That game does not get enough recognition. I played it for hundreads of hours and never got bored even if it might be repetitive for some people doing the same maps over and over, yet is very challenging on legendary/cataclysm difficulty.
I played Kingdoms of Amalur when it first came out and it was soo good! I found it really weird it wasn't really popular then. I explored the whole world and it took so long lol, but it was amazing.
You forgot RDR2. One of the most beautiful and detailed gaming worlds I've ever seen. That game's immersion is out of this world 🔥. A true masterpiece.
I would definitely add Red Dead Redemption 2. You can just get so lost in how beautiful that game is. Riding your horse slowly along the prairie, up some hill to look out at the vastness ahead of you. Or ending up in a cave you never knew was there before. Also, Fallout 4 is easy to get lost in. There are so many buildings to explore!
The Richard Garriot's ULTIMA series was my first most immersive game I played. At that time the graphic only used icons, but the way the game was designed it make you really feel like you are a part of that world. The game teaches that a good game design can beat the best graphic.
@bernardoheusi6146 Origins was the best game, but that doesn't make DAI a bad game at all. Origins wasn't nearly as big as Inquisition ended up being, and there's honestly a lot more content.
@@thereallaw244 Though, some might say that a good chunk of side-quests isn't even particularly necessary to the overall plot of the game. Like the Hinterlands, there's an insane amount of quests in that area that it almost becomes a chore to complete them. I hope that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf brings back the heavy old-school RPG narratives and array of dialogue responses that Origins has while retaining the rich atmosphere of Inquisition's maps and cutscenes. I also hope they at least make the tactics more specific like Origins.
For me personally i can get lost in the world of red dead 2 , just riding my horse around the country and immersing myself in the world combined with the audio and visuals is so amazing
I got 4k hours in vermintide 2, i can confirm, its an addictive immersive game, 5 characters who hate each others have to cooperate, the roleplay is so perfect that when playing with randoms you don't call them by name you call them by race (elf, dwarf, wizard, etc), its better with friends but its also good with randoms, i acquired a bunch of friends playing that.
Really glad to see Kingdoms of Amalur get some recognition. It's kind of funny how you didn't even mention the diverse options for cross-classing in the game. At the time of the original, I don't know if any game had gone that far with giving you total freedom with character options. I loved that game from the get-go; I'm always trying to get more people to try it. It sucks that so many mistakenly think the game 'flopped' and caused the studio downfall, and therefore assume it was bad, when actually it did fairly well. It just wasn't enough to save a horribly mismanaged company. 😢
@@jayedson3408 I never did play any of the Elder Scrolls games. Did they do anything like the Fate system, where multi-classing gave changed your characters default abilities? I thought that was such a cool function in Amalur.
@@moonwatcher99 you dont get default abilities, you choose what you want to be good at from the start, and level skills by using them. there are lots of different weapon types, and lots of spells (you can make your own too) and if you decide to be a completionist, you can actually take the time and master everything
In the case of Skyrim, the modding community is huge factor that significantly extended the lifespan of this amazing game ( at least for me, I would probably not come back into it so many years after I finished it several times without mods).
Seeing Dragon Age Inquisition and Kingdoms of Amalur on this list made my week. No one ever knows what Kingdoms of Amalur is when I talk about it, but it's been in my personal top 5 favorite games of all time for years, and its story absolutely enthralled me when I experienced it for the first time. I'm glad the re-release of it got it some more attention after all this time.
I’m playing KOA Re-Reckoning atm. It’s really enjoyable. Playing on hard. I’ve barely touched the main quest. Just exploring and doing warsworn and travelers faction quests.
Yes CyberPunk had a really REALLY rough launch, but I respect the hell outta CDPR for sticking w it and improving upon it so much and I actually really enjoy playing it now. Also love the vids I watch them everyday
I love cyberpunk, and it's a amazing game I got lost so many hours indeed, but gotta say, while IS immersive to a good point, it LOOKs like a videogame kinda, you go around and clearly disting civilians or gang members and plenty of small things~
I held out from playing it until the recent Phantom Liberty update. I feel sorry for the people who didn't get to experience the polished end product the first time around.
Subnautica...50% "oh how pretty" 50% "OMG it's trying to eat me!" 100% awesome!!! Most satisfying ending ever. I sat back and watched the credits roll and felt a sense of peace and accomplishment. Like a full body stretch after taking a nap, in a hammock, on a beautiful summer day.
A gaming friend was walking along a road in the game we play, Generation Zero. He met no machines, which was unusual, but kept walking. It was late afternoon and the light began to fail. As it did, it started to snow and the snow began to *settle*. After several minutes the land was white as far as the eye could see. Suddenly, to his right, he saw lights up on top of a hill, shining through the now total darkness and, turning towards it, he walked across a ploughed field, completely covered in snow and found a house, abandoned, but with the lights still on. He went in and closed the door behind him. Looking out through the window, the snow had now stopped and a huge moon came up from behind the hill opposite, filling the whole landscape with reflected white light. He said it was the most spectacular gaming moment of his life.
Dragon's Dogma is a fantastic game... Can't wait for the 2nd! I had a great time with Amalur too but that was a bit empty in some areas. The Witcher 3 is in my top3 of my favorite games of all time.
Love dragons dogma it's an awesome game happy to see it on a gameranx list hopefully thisll drive some more people to play it before it's sequel arrives
RDR2 made me ignore everything else and just explore the world. The details in that game is astounding!

I had a lightweight/ medium weight character and I remember a certain section of the game where it was super windy my character could barely run meanwhile my pawn (who was a huge warrior) was casually walking so I started walking behind him LOL.
Also I remember being too tall to fit into a hole in a goblin fortress so I just threw another pawn into the hole to grab an item for me
And now we about to get Dragon Dogma 2. Hope it’s as good as the first one and they keep/ add new mechanics to the game. Glad we finally getting another one after all this time.
compared to dragons dogma dark asrison or DD2 whats better
First game like this was Oblivion to me, still remember how insane it was on X360 when I was a kid.
No game has come close to the mind boggling nature of oblivion to me when I first played it. The idea that I could walk from the mountains to the imperial city without any barriers, with a bunch of stuff to do along the way, was insane. I had never played an open world game before that, and it was also the first Xbox 360 game I had ever seen or owned. Absolutely mind blowing graphics, physics, world, customization, everything was so different and fresh.
Suffice to say Bethesda studios open world games have been a favorite since but Oblivion and Fallout 3 were the most impressive and continue to be my favorites.
Literally started a new character last night after I got wiped on rust.... oblivion calmed me immediately. Top 10 games for sure
The moment I stepped out of the sewers and saw the open world in front of me I fell in love.
To the hero of kavatch! Hizah!
Oblivion was the first ever open world RPG I played. Definitely was too much of a noob back then to fully appreciate everything the game offered haha. Pretty sure I beat the main questline at level 14 because I didn’t realize I had to sleep to level up
Loved that you put Kingdoms of Amalur in there, you play Skyrim with all the muted color tones and then pop in Reckoning, and its like whooooooooooaaa, so many COLORS! Dragon Age Inquisition, love it on so many levels--storyline, characters, environment and voice acting-all masterfully done. Finding Skyhold for the first time literally took my breath away - wandering around in Skyrim is like being on vacation...with highwaymen and dragons. Subnautica is exciting and calming at the same time, how can that be? Love these games so much, they helped me through some really tough times. Thank you, developers and thank you gameranx for posting!
My favorite genre, definitely. Sometimes I get a little sick of Skyrim so I have to start another game but then I get back to Skyrim because the love for it never ends. ☺
I have thousands of hours in Skyrim and New Vegas and every once in a while I'll still find something I've never come across before. Some cave or quest I never noticed. What an experience those games are.
The Bloody Baron story arc from Witcher 3 was one of the most compelling stories in gaming. Right up there with the RDR2 storyline.
I can't beat the monstrous child so I got stuck on progression and put it down since then. I don't mind challenges but if it stops me progressing I'm easily put off. I might go and do some other quests if I can be bothered. Got it on PS5 for cheap before the update and price hike. Right now I am knee deep in Jedi Survivor. Even then I put aside some of the challenges while I do other stuff and level up a bit more. Already at 76% in and put aside one of the main quest boss fights for the moment (I died so many times on Jedi Knight difficulty). Guess I am not a Souls type gamer.

Rdr2s story line isnt paced well and could have been cut down a lot. The 2nd half drags on forever
@@13_faces sums it up pretty much, but the world is far better in rdr2 imo
Dragon's Dogma doesn't get the attention it deserves. It was one of the most memorable games I've played. The combat is so good and entertaining. Playing as a mage archer was a lot of fun.
Great video, btw. You guys are top notch.
kinda looks like skyrim
Dragons Dogma was truly game ahead of its time. One of my absolute favorites. For current gen games Elden Ring completely absorbed me trying to explore every location. 200 hours so far.
Took me 250 hrs to beat. Best game ever. Hit hogwards after for a change of pace now I'm on nioh. Nioh is awesome.
I’m replaying it right now. Such an underrated game. I wish more people knew about it
@@pastormosesmaloney1604nioh is a great game. Play Nioh 2 & Wo Long fallen dynasty after
Dragons dogma beats every one on this list
Didnt the studio release a trailer for DD2 a while ago?
aww I LOVE that you mentioned Dragon Age Inquisition! it's one of favourite games ever but not many people mention it
Dragons Dogma AND Kingdoms of Amalur in one video?!
This is why y’all have quickly become one of my favorite channels.
Two of my favourite action-rpg games.
I finally got around to playing the Witcher 3 this year for the first time and I was still blown away! Instantly made my top 10
I love Witcher 3, it's one of the few games where I stop and just admire the scenery and take screenshots. Also, the books are well worth a read.
One of those rare individuals who really struggled to like it tbh.
I remember back when I bought our Xbox One, it was part of a Gamestop package that allowed you to pick one free game, no limit. I didn't even have anything in mind, but everyone was talking about W3, so I just went, "That one." I figured if I was going to get something new, it might as well be one of the high-priced ones. Turned out to be a good decision, lol.

I think a big contributor to this ability to get lost in the world is how the side quests are presented. That’s why from this list The Witcher III takes the cake for me.
The side?
@@imsharted oh I’m dumb lol thanks for clarifying
I felt just the opposite, it felt bland and uninspired to me. felt like fallout and skyrim had a baby with dragon age and they made the combat worse than fallout. I coulnd't bring myself to care about the world or characters just felt so meh to me. I"m not trying to take away from your enjoyment nor do i think my words should. Just interesting to me how differently we can view the same thing.
@Dead Things In The Trees thts crazy lol. Witcher 3 had an amazing and immersive world. One of the best out there 100%
@@ShinobiDrip999 That is the word I hear but in my experience I had to force myself to keep playing becuase i thought it'd get better and it just didn't for me.
I remember being home alone some night back in 2011 playing Skyrim and all of a sudden the sun was rising. It's insane how that game always has something else to do or explore.
The only other game that I played from this list is The Witcher 3, and it almost felt like Skyrim immersion-wise to me.
Dragon's Dogma had no reliance on fast travel, which is great for a game like this! You had to plan out your journey, make sure you had enough fuel for your lanterns and medicines etc. It is such a fun experience!
I actually really liked Dragon's Dogma's fast travel system, because I had to plan for it, and arrange where I wanted to go ahead of time. If I didn't, then I had a 20-minute walk to look forward to, and nobody but myself to blame. It was awesome
Subnautica is one of my favorite games of all time. The beauty of the world hides the fact that it can be truly frightening at times. Wandering at night and suddenly hearing a Reaper Leviathan that’s close can raise the tension in your life real fast. I’ve probably got more than 500 hours in it by now.
Same. The game was like the best and so is below zero
I tried playing this game however I ended up realizing that I don't just have a fear of heights but also a fear of great depths lol 😅.
Although it may not be the most detailed game out there, Ghost of Tsushima is that game for me. It's an incredibly captivating story that made me want to explore every possible inch of the world. I wanted to do every quest I possibly could and get everything else I could. I even had real attachment to the side characters and loved each of their mini storylines. Fantastic game! Here's to hoping for a part 2!
I was waiting for that and RDR2 but nope. I guess GOT is a bit less open worldy than some of the others. But so atmospheric and gorgeous to immerse yourself in. It really feels like you are in feudal Japan.
Ikr on my 2nd playthrough and it’s still dope af lol
Same I already clocked in over 100 hours on Ghost and Im not even at 50% completion yet cause I keep exploring instead of doing quests most of the time 😂
@@jugundisingletonjr1096 lol
Agreed. The story and the environment were equally gorgeous. It’s one of the games I completed 100% and wanted more. Masterfully done and I yearn for a sequel.
Kingdom come deliverance does it for me one of the most immersive games ive ever played the sunrise and sunset mechanics whilst your walking through the forests are something else
👌👍🏼
Can't wait for the next installment. Hopefully set in Prague although that is a big ask.
The game combat system really bored me a little, I just hope the combat more interesting but it is a first-person-view game so maybe developers are in their quest for breakthrough ideas
@@phamcharlie7242 I could never get over the dichotomy of sword fighting with auto-lock you can’t turn off and archery with no reticle at all?!
@@vinceely2906You can turn the reticle on with a simple console command (on pc) and tbf the way the combat system exists in the game kind of requires auto lock. It would be pretty hard to use the various attacks if you weren’t locked on an enemy. Although it definitely takes getting used to.
nice to see Kingdom Come get a mention, got it for free on epic games and it's one of my absolute favourite games now. Fantastic story, sweet combat, stealth mechanics if you want to, its fantastic in so many ways!
No one cares how much you paid, and in fact, it would make people upset who paid money to see you get it free, so why brag about it?
its not that deep @@jefffairchild1854
I can’t believe you dropped that “horse with no name” nugget (ha! See what I did there?) into the Subnautica section. Kudos.
I know I’m late to the party but I’ve recently started playing Ghosts of Tsushima and boy do I get lost for hours in the experience. It’s beautiful.
Yesss! Ghost of Tsushima was the last game I played on PS4 Pro before I moved onto PC all the way. It’s a masterpiece and I got lost in it as well. Still waiting for a steam release someday.
ghost of tsushima. This game made me want to explore every inch of the map
Too beautiful. Makes me wanna relax
It is the first time I've wanted to 100% a game in like 5 years, currently like 40% through lol.
Masterpiece
The Yakuza series with Kamurocho and Sotenbori, not the biggest world but the series proves you don't need a "big" world to have it densely packed with distractions and things to do
Idk why not a single yakuza game in this list is not fair.
I just played a demo for one of them & was impressed by how it really did evoke being back in Dotonbori!
I love that Kingdoms of Amalur got. A mention, such an awesome game, over 1000 hrs played on the original and remake and no-one ever talks about it
Kingdoms of Amalur is an amazingly underrated RPG, such a good game!
Every day Dragons Dogma is mentioned is a good day. May 22nd, 11th year anniversary for DD, hoping for some sequel news!
I am soooo happy you put Amalur and Dragon’s Dogma in here. Two of my all-time favorites. The lore-building and writing KOA is stunning.
Love that game. Criminally underrated. It pulls off a neat trick of being both an in depth RPG and a great pick up and play for half an hour brawler as well.
@@michaelfoley906 the developer and publisher had some misunderstanding with each other AFAIK.
KoA should've been released as MMO RPG in the first place. Something went wrong, but it's a great game after all. Gave me those awesome Fable I vibes.
KoA had an amazing world built for it, just to be utilized by incompetent writers who must have sat on Wikipedia looking up high fantasy tropes to draw from.
Loved Kingdoms of Amalur . Was a classic game. Different settlements, DLC's . Just a great game. Also still playing Witcher 3. Can literally play the game for years
Damn i play kingdom of amalur too, i think this title overshadowed by skyrim and dragon age that time
I trained with the captain for three hours real time to learn the combat system in kingdom come and I walked away feeling like a real master swordsman. Very satisfying because you were getting better at the game and your character was getting better at the same time.
For me personally, this list would've also included RDR2, Assassin's Creed Unity aswell as Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey. Elden Ring and Sekiro shadows die twice would also be on this list
Assassin's creed is ass
I always come back to Skyrim every year. I can never get enough of this game ♥️
Same
what about wither 3, have you played it?
I’ve only played Skyrim & it’s enough for me.
@@i4mboyc agree
What's your favorite thing to do in Skyrim?
Ghost of Tsushima has a pretty legit world in which this can happen.
I was honestly expecting it to be on this list
For me it was Bloodborne world and lore, it has such a unique charm to it.
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 I agree with every point.
Although I would really love to see a Bloodborne 2, but that’s just a dream(no pun intended), because it never happens.
I'm going to recommend a different genre of game than the others on this list, but I really enjoyed the relationship building and crafting in My Time at Portia. It's a chill RPG that I sunk a surprising amount of time into. There's a lot of freedom to explore and do whatever you want. Whether you want to focus on crafting, farming, fishing, or battling monsters, there's something for everyone in My Time at Portia.
Oh I absolutely adore this game, very immersive!
I knew most of these already, but I've never heard of Kingdom Come Deliverance before, and I'm really intrigued by it!
I find it appalling that you made this list without adding RDR2
I remember getting lost in Oblivions world when it first came out. Man those were the days.
I'd just like to add that Cyberpunk is an amazing game. Yeah it had a terrible launch, nobody is denying that. But the content in the game now is really freakin' good, and the new DLC coming this year is going to add full vehicle combat and a reworked police system.
It is an amazing game, people just hate it because they feel cool doing it.
Agree. It is one of my favorite games of all-time (along with GTA V).
Everyone knows The Witcher 3 is outstanding so I won't go on about that, but massive shout out to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I had SUCH a blast on that game, it's truly one of a kind I think. Amazing main story, excellent side quests that are hugely varied and still awesome looking graphics to this day. Highly recommend it for fans of RPGs, also got a great money system too as normally I'm rich early on it feels like but not in this one.
I'm so glad to see Kingdom Come: Deliverance on this list. I heard the game released in a poor state, but when I played it I was blown away. It's maybe my favorite game ever. I absolutely love realism in games and KC:D did it so well. Going from a nobody who can't do anything to an absolutely loaded low-key brigand who everyone thinks is a great guy was so fun. Everybody loved me and had no idea that I waa the one pickpocketing everyone and stealing everything that wasn't nailed down lmao.
Just remember, if you play this game, that everything gets better with experience. At the start everything is hard. Lockpicking and combat seem absolutely untenable, but with practice they become a total breeze, and you'll master the skills you put effort into, and nothing else.
Also, go learn to read ASAP. It's extremely important.
Skyrim is one of the few games where you get so immersed that you become your character. I think i spent as much time decorating my tiny cozy house as i did slaying beasts.
Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are the greatest open world games of all time for me by far. They are in a league of their own compared to all others open world games
Witcher 3 just didn't do it for me personally but I probably need to give it another chance. Red Dead Redemption 2 meanwhile is my favorite game of all time and I can't think of a better videogame character than Arthur Morgan.
RDR was so tedious that i could never get much into it
put over 2000 hours into TW franchise over the years tho testing choices is the real endgame
I absolutely cannot wait for Dragon's Dogma 2
If the game comes out only on next gen it will the greatest RPG ever.
Im so happy to see subnautica on this list, as a person with thalassaphobia i had a hard time getting into it but once I got over that I'm multiple save and about 400 hours sunk into it. (No pun intended) By far my favorite game tht I have played in a long time. Sooo freaking immersive, I love it
Man i was so immersed in kingdom come deliverance i just loved that games charm. If u havent played it yet i highly recommend it
A lot of medieval fantasy on this list ,I’d love to see more city based open worlds if there’s a part 2
Nightcity baby!
it's because most open world city games are shallow....most of the buildings can't be entered and exploring a city isn't as immersive as exploring a fantasy rpg world
San Fransisco, Night City, and Hong Kong, one of them will be in the top 3, or all of them in the top 3.
@@naplzt4k debatable , open fields arent any more interesting and city worlds usually have better traversal
@@phantom3146 true but with fantasy you don't know what you will find because magic and myth are only limited by devs imagination...in city games they have to be more grounded in reality
Dragon's dogma is definitely the most underrated game on this list.
Skyrim will always have me. Skyrim is home to me. It's beautiful, and while the combat isn't great, the world itself is so vaste that I can be addicted for hours. All while doing another playthrough once I'm done.
Amen brother.
Kingdoms of amular is so underrated remember clinging to every bit of news when this was coming out
Ignoring AC: Odyssey is criminal. The greek world was so beautiful and immersive.
I love when Falcon does the videos!! Great work guys, as always!
I'm disappointed when it's not him tbh
@Steppin Razor agreed. He's by far my favorite
Nice Profile Picture 🔥
Jake is also good
i literally need a playlist of all falcon vids. i can't stress to you how little i give a fuck about Jake's input on... anything.
Great video as always. I would just take the Withcher 3 in a higher position 🙃
For me there are 3 games that should have made the list
Red Dead Redemption 2
Assassin's Creed Origins
Spiderman (2018)
Kingdom Come Deliverance is really fun but wow I always get lost and it can be very challenging at times and frustrating
I spent hundreds of hours on the PS2 game Steambot Chronicles. While the game doesn't have anywhere near the same level of branching narratives like Skyrim, Fallout, or most of the games on this list, you could still do a lot of things and never have the exact same play through. For one, you had this little "personality test" at the start of every game, which determined things like how much money you could earn and how you would react in some scenes of the campaign. Then you had a host of options to choose from during many interactions, from playing the amnesiac as a nutjob who salutes everybody he meets to demanding money from everyone who asks you for a ride during missions. It got to the point that I had so many saves on a single memory card, with dozens of different sessions, that I ultimately had delete everything just to well and truly start fresh (and not eat up as much memory with the 40-50 different saves, lol)
It's really awesome that Kingdom Come got some love here! It's my favorite game by far because it treats you as a weak human. You need to learn the game and not just upgrade levels and poof you're powerful now.
Recently completed it on Hardcore mode with every Nerf activated. Man I loved it!
did you wake up in tavern, when you was sleeping in monastery? :D :D
@@radeksilar543 Not the Tavern but the Woods if I remember correctly. Caught me off guard quite some times actually, because you don't know where you are on the map and the woods are extremely accurate, so mostly you have no clue where you are.
Jesus Christ be praised
Love the mention of Dragon's Dogma
"They're masterworks all!"
Rdr2. I love the realism, setting, and most importantly Arthur Morgan. I don't think I have ever felt more attached to a fictional character. Playing as him made me feel like I was playing as a real person, what an incredible character. The best videogame character period imo.
Me too, but with Rock$tar seemingly getting ready to abandon RD Online,... whats the point in playing anymore
@@Paul_Waller Um an incredible campaign and open world. I haven't even touched the multi-player once lol and I have beat the main story multiple times.
I wish we could get a 60fps update for consoles. One of my favorite games, but that 30fps is rough. If they sold a current gen version, I'd buy it immediately
Elden Ring is number 1 for me. That world Fromsoft created was freaking amazing. It just kept getting bigger and bigger. Exploration was always rewarding in some way. Then you go down a lift and realize the game is twice as big as you thought.
Me playing Witcher 3.
"I should probably take a break, I haven't slept in two days. Cancel that, just spotted a question mark on the map 50 miles away from the village I'm in."

Yes
The Witcher 3 was one most immersive games I've ever played. Such a great game
I played Kingdoms of Amalur when it first came out and it was soo good! I found it really weird it wasn't really popular then. I explored the whole world and it took so long lol, but it was amazing.
You forgot RDR2. One of the most beautiful and detailed gaming worlds I've ever seen. That game's immersion is out of this world 🔥. A true masterpiece.

I would definitely add Red Dead Redemption 2. You can just get so lost in how beautiful that game is. Riding your horse slowly along the prairie, up some hill to look out at the vastness ahead of you. Or ending up in a cave you never knew was there before. Also, Fallout 4 is easy to get lost in. There are so many buildings to explore!

Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Just sailing around, exploring places, kicking 4$$.
Spent lots of time there.
The Richard Garriot's ULTIMA series was my first most immersive game I played. At that time the graphic only used icons, but the way the game was designed it make you really feel like you are a part of that world. The game teaches that a good game design can beat the best graphic.
Dragon Age just isn't talked about enough, its fantastic.
No it really isn't. Origins is the best.
@bernardoheusi6146 Origins was the best game, but that doesn't make DAI a bad game at all. Origins wasn't nearly as big as Inquisition ended up being, and there's honestly a lot more content.
@@thereallaw244 Though, some might say that a good chunk of side-quests isn't even particularly necessary to the overall plot of the game. Like the Hinterlands, there's an insane amount of quests in that area that it almost becomes a chore to complete them. I hope that Dragon Age: Dreadwolf brings back the heavy old-school RPG narratives and array of dialogue responses that Origins has while retaining the rich atmosphere of Inquisition's maps and cutscenes. I also hope they at least make the tactics more specific like Origins.
It's an offline mmo game.

KINGDOM COME DELIVERANCE BABBYYYYY
My favorite game of all time- glad to see the representation!
I got 4k hours in vermintide 2, i can confirm, its an addictive immersive game, 5 characters who hate each others have to cooperate, the roleplay is so perfect that when playing with randoms you don't call them by name you call them by race (elf, dwarf, wizard, etc), its better with friends but its also good with randoms, i acquired a bunch of friends playing that.

Really glad to see Kingdoms of Amalur get some recognition. It's kind of funny how you didn't even mention the diverse options for cross-classing in the game. At the time of the original, I don't know if any game had gone that far with giving you total freedom with character options. I loved that game from the get-go; I'm always trying to get more people to try it. It sucks that so many mistakenly think the game 'flopped' and caused the studio downfall, and therefore assume it was bad, when actually it did fairly well. It just wasn't enough to save a horribly mismanaged company. 😢
Elder Scrolls 3 offers that type of flexibility.
@@jayedson3408 I never did play any of the Elder Scrolls games. Did they do anything like the Fate system, where multi-classing gave changed your characters default abilities? I thought that was such a cool function in Amalur.
@@moonwatcher99 you dont get default abilities, you choose what you want to be good at from the start, and level skills by using them. there are lots of different weapon types, and lots of spells (you can make your own too) and if you decide to be a completionist, you can actually take the time and master everything
In the case of Skyrim, the modding community is huge factor that significantly extended the lifespan of this amazing game ( at least for me, I would probably not come back into it so many years after I finished it several times without mods).
Seeing Dragon Age Inquisition and Kingdoms of Amalur on this list made my week. No one ever knows what Kingdoms of Amalur is when I talk about it, but it's been in my personal top 5 favorite games of all time for years, and its story absolutely enthralled me when I experienced it for the first time. I'm glad the re-release of it got it some more attention after all this time.
I’m playing KOA Re-Reckoning atm. It’s really enjoyable. Playing on hard. I’ve barely touched the main quest. Just exploring and doing warsworn and travelers faction quests.
It's on my list for the Switch. It's a long list, but Kingdom's of Amalur is on it. I am anticipating playing it. Enjoying Persona 4 in the meantime
It's one of my favorites of all time as well! It is SO underrated and deserves more recognition
Kingdoms of Amalur was a mmo side quest game lmao
@@threestars2164 well conveniently, no one is required to play it, so play the games that you actually enjoy 🙂
Yes CyberPunk had a really REALLY rough launch, but I respect the hell outta CDPR for sticking w it and improving upon it so much and I actually really enjoy playing it now. Also love the vids I watch them everyday
I love cyberpunk, and it's a amazing game I got lost so many hours indeed, but gotta say, while IS immersive to a good point, it LOOKs like a videogame kinda, you go around and clearly disting civilians or gang members and plenty of small things~
I held out from playing it until the recent Phantom Liberty update. I feel sorry for the people who didn't get to experience the polished end product the first time around.
My first real open world experience was Morrowind. Also was my first Elder Scrolls game ever. I am a Tamriel native now :)
Subnautica...50% "oh how pretty" 50% "OMG it's trying to eat me!" 100% awesome!!! Most satisfying ending ever. I sat back and watched the credits roll and felt a sense of peace and accomplishment. Like a full body stretch after taking a nap, in a hammock, on a beautiful summer day.
A gaming friend was walking along a road in the game we play, Generation Zero. He met no machines, which was unusual, but kept walking. It was late afternoon and the light began to fail. As it did, it started to snow and the snow began to *settle*. After several minutes the land was white as far as the eye could see. Suddenly, to his right, he saw lights up on top of a hill, shining through the now total darkness and, turning towards it, he walked across a ploughed field, completely covered in snow and found a house, abandoned, but with the lights still on. He went in and closed the door behind him. Looking out through the window, the snow had now stopped and a huge moon came up from behind the hill opposite, filling the whole landscape with reflected white light. He said it was the most spectacular gaming moment of his life.
Dragon's Dogma is a fantastic game... Can't wait for the 2nd! I had a great time with Amalur too but that was a bit empty in some areas.
The Witcher 3 is in my top3 of my favorite games of all time.
