15 Most Lively Open-World Games – 2023 Edition

Red Dead Redemption 1

Red Dead Redemption 2 is often praised for its attention to detail and its dynamic open world, but the groundwork for that set of ideas was actually laid in the original Red Dead Redemption. John Marston’s quest for freedom remains an enjoyable romp to this date, and a lot of that can be attributed to the fantastic setting that’s chock full of interesting quests and memorable characters that make it feel like a living breathing world.
