What better way to kick off our list than heading to the American Old West? Want to hunt? Do it! Grow out a fancy mustache? That's cool too. There are so many things to do in this game that it's pretty hard to get bored. In addition, the regions in Red Dead Redemption 2 are so vast and beautiful that I could spend hours just exploring (and perhaps robbing a few folks).

You might think, "Wait, Pokémon Go isn't an open-world game?" But let me ask you, what's more open than exploring and capturing Pokémon in the real world around us? Mother nature is a perfect setting for any game, and the way Pokémon Go encourages us to explore our immediate surroundings earns it a place on this list. Okay, so maybe there are a few examples of people not paying attention to their immediate surroundings and getting injured as a result of playing, but I like to think that despite all of this, Pokémon Go is not only responsible for popularizing location-based gaming but also promoting physical activity and exercise.

Spiderman games have been around for ages, but with the release of Marvel's Spiderman, developer Insomniac managed to reinvigorate the hero and gave us a way of playing like Spiderman that actually felt like we were web-slinging across the city. The recreation of New York was fantastic. As a native new yorker, I loved following the street signs just to see how accurate a portrayal of Manhattan was.

I've played almost all of the Assassin's Creed games. Odyssey remains one of my favorite open-world maps of the franchise. My mind was blown when it was announced we'd be able to explore ancient Greece, recruit a group of sailors, and wage war on our enemies. I love sailing from city to city, and all of the Greek mythology which was incorporated into the game, but the addition of the exploration mode, which made it possible to search for clues by speaking with people to reveal the objectives, was a great way to take advantage of the open map.

When one thinks of open-world games, mobile games might not be the first thing that comes to mind, that was at least until Genshin Impact arrived on the scene. Exploring Teyvat as an interdimensional traveler was fun enough, but monetizing it so that people spend hundreds of dollars to find the best characters they can is a new feat entirely. Even if gacha games aren't your thing, one has to respect the world of Genshin Impact and the large fanbase it's managed to cultivate.

Oceanhorn is definitely a nod to the classic Zelda games, but with its unique world and islands you can explore, it's so much more than just a clone. I particularly liked the little extras like fishing, and when combined with the music, this game is also great for just zoning out, relaxing, and exploring the watery world.

Breath of the Wild is great, but Tears of the Kingdom takes everything great about Breath of the Wild and expands upon it, creating a truly vast and open Hyrule. From weapons crafting to vehicle building, running around this open playground will leave you breathless.

I've been a fan of the series ever since they released GTA III on the PS, and each time a new title is released, it gets bigger and better. So, how can I exclude GTA from a list of my favorite open-world games? Running from the police, visiting the clubs, swimming, and stealing cars makes this a classic. I can spend hours simply roaming about.

We've been waiting nearly a decade for it, and now that it's here, Sanctuary is calling. It's filled with dozens of dungeons, hidden secrets, and quests that might make you forget the world outside your living room. Blizzard already did a great job of extracting hours upon hours of my life's energy away with its World of Warcraft series. With the release of Diablo IV, they're back to their old tricks, and I don't want them to stop.
