Gamers have quickly realized that a fun open-world game isn’t just about size and scope but rather how you interact with it. There’s a reason the ‘Ubisoft-ification’ of games has caused many to roll their eyes with an emphatic ‘next!’ when seeing a checklist of towers to clear. Many of us want surprise and depth, not a checklist of repetitive tasks to complete. One of the best ways to engage players with a world is letting them control various aspects of its mechanisms. Thankfully, there’s plenty of great games that achieve a fun and dynamic open-world. Here are 10 open world games that let you control almost everything.
10. Satisfactory
You may not find the prospect of factory-building initially appealing, but Satisfactory makes the process addictive and wildly open-ended. Part of that open-endedness is the resource-rich open world you, as a settler, are tasked with exploring and mining for resources. Unlike a lot of management building games, everything in Satisfactory is accomplished from a first-person perspective, adding an extra ounce of immersion to your production chain empire. While the main route through the game starts off with limited technology tiers, progress grants you access to a vast toolbox to create anything imaginable.
