Open-world games have been on everyone’s mind for a while now, and they too have been dominating in the gaming market. There are some open-world games that stand out in 2024, including Black Myth Wukong and Fallout London, among many others.
Open-world games are known for exploration as they give the player a huge playground to navigate with a lot of things to explore within, with tons of side quests and subplots to move the main story forward. Here are 5 games that stand the test of time, including some fresh releases that are worth exploring if you love indulging yourself in the world of games.
5. Black Myth Wukong
Black Myth Wukong is turning out to be one of the most interesting games of 2024 so far, given the scope of exploration and attention to detail given by the developer in making the game. The game is inspired by Journey to the West, which is a part of Chinese mythology.
The game, too, has the look and feel of a mythological story and is set in ancient times, with references to the book. It also has some of the most unique elements in its world, including mythical talking trees, gigantic tigers, monster babies, and many more interesting things.
4. Fallout London
Fallout London is a total conversion mod that changes the setting to the town of London in Bethesda’s 2015 game Fallout 4. Fallout in itself is a widely celebrated franchise with a TV show of its own, which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
The game stands the test of time without the mod as well; however, the mod has given a fresh beginning to the game, which many fans of the franchise would love to explore as it is the same game with a different setting so players would get a chance to experience their favourite game with a fresh perspective which will be full of surprises.
Getting to replay a game that has been modified is a great feeling, as it expands the horizons of the game and also gives players a chance to play and enjoy it like they did the first time, and Fallout London excels at doing that.
3. Elden Ring
Elden Ring was released back in 2022 and it is still proving to be as relevant as it was when it first came out 2 years ago. The game is full of interesting lore and side quests, with some of the most interesting boss fights and creatures that you will ever encounter in a game.
The world is detailed to the last rock and it hardly stops unfolding infront of your eyes the more you explore it. The game is vast and offers a highly customizable experience to players, with tons of things to explore within it.
Elden Ring got its first and only DLC with a map expansion this year, which widened the vast pre-existing universe and gave players a chance to explore new things in the game, including a separate map expansion that breathed fresh air into the game.
2. Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushima quickly rose to fame after its release in 2020, as it was the first time feudal Japan was being explored on such a wide scale within the scope of a game.
The game by far has the most intricate and realistic depiction of Japan from the Samurai era. The visual design is what really stands out in the game, and it is one of the most beautiful games you will ever play.
The island of Tsushima is completely free to explore and includes many hidden gems that keep the players engrossed in that world and increase the replayability of the game to a large extent.
1. Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar does in Red Dead Redemption 2 what they are best at and that is creating a highly interactive world that makes you a part of the world of the game from the get go and makes sure that feeling lingers even upon completion.
RDR2 is still one of the best open-world games that you can play in 2024, 6 years after its release. The game takes you on a highly emotional journey and makes you connect with most of the people that you encounter along the way. The world-building is intricate and offers a lot of scope for exploration away from the main story of the game.
