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

HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST

Given how far into the future it is set and how radically everything in its world has changed, Horizon Forbidden West is closer to a fictional setting than a real-world one, but it is technically set across the states of California, Nevada, and Utah. And seeing those locations through the lens of the series’ sci-fi fantasy post-apocalypse is nothing short of a breathtaking experience. From the crumbling remains of Golden Bridge and the sand-flooded ruins of Las Vegas to what’s left of LA in the Burning Shores expansion and so much more, Forbidden West’s open world is full of unforgettable sights.
