15 Amazing Open World Games That Take Place in Real World Locations

DAYS GONE

Days Gone might be something of a diamond in the rough, but its open world is just an unequivocally excellent sandbox for a video game. Set in post-apocalyptic Oregon, it captures the vibes of the Pacific Northwest to great effect, and more importantly, crafts a fantastic web of systems around it to enable emergent gameplay with legitimate mechanical depth. For all of its faults, riding your bike around in Days Gone’s dangerous yet exciting world never loses its charm.
