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

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Even with the controversies surrounding Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains an excellent title. Its base story, which centers on Geralt’s journey to find Ciri and protect her from the Wild Hunt,is delivered well with excellent dialogue and characterization. But the various regions of the world, from the expansive streets of Novigrad which see many injustices against non-humans to the backwaters of Velen, are the biggest highlight. There are numerous excellent side-quests to complete, and even if you’re out hunting monster nests, exciting things lay around every corner.
