15 Most Lively Open-World Games – 2023 Edition

Starfield

Starfield is Bethesda’s first new IP in over 25 years, and it is a testament to the developer’s amazing world-building chops. Sure, not every planet in its 1000-plus roster of locations is built equal – but the core locations are certainly worth admiring. Different planets have unique trees, structures, factions, and whatnot. You can go sightseeing and explore food stands among a dozen other things. It feels really full of life at times, which makes exploration such an enjoyable aspect of the experience.
