30 Best Open World Games You Need To Play [2021 Edition]

Genshin Impact

In its initial trailers, miHoYo’s Genshin Impact was dismissed as a mere clone of Breath of the Wild. While many similar gameplay elements are indeed present, the action RPG offers its own interesting hooks to keep one playing (besides the gacha system, of course). The combat system with its elemental combos and character switching offers some great depth; the characters are all quirky and likable; and the sheer amount of content on offer for free is staggering.
