15 Best Open-Worlds You Probably Didn’t Play [2023 Edition]

Mafia: Definitive Edition

Mafia: Definitive Edition is an excellent re-imagining of the 2002 classic, and it’s one of the most beautiful-looking games on the list. Set against the backdrop of 1930s America, Mafia tells an emotional story of Tommy Angelo as he gets involved with the city’s biggest crime families. It’s chock full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing, and the writing and performances are consistently top-notch. The open world doesn’t have much to do in terms of side content, but it’s a well-realized virtual space that’s meant to be explored in a thorough fashion.
