Red Dead Redemption II (PC, PS4, Xbox One): Essentially GTA dressed up as a cowboy, Red Dead Redemption II is easily one of the best-loved games of this generation.Explore I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-LA as three different career criminals in the main campaign, and when you’re ready, hop into the multiplayer madness of GTA Online. Grand Theft Auto V (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One): Possibly the biggest entertainment release ever, Rockstar has tweaked its city crime series to perfection.We’ve picked the biggest and best of the bunch for you to sink your hours into. Grand Theft Auto is the template for the go-anywhere, do-anything action game, but it’s been copied and tweaked enough that it’s now more or less ubiquitous. These games are like the RPGs above, just with less, you know, roleplaying. You’ll level all of them up and balance them out to complement each other. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen (Everything): This lesser-known open world fantasy game has a focus on an old-fashioned RPG party: your player character and three “pawns” controlled by the computer.
Once you finish the story, you can replay it again and again to check out the branching paths of its morally grey narrative. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch): The Witcher 3 received universal acclaim on its release thanks to its combination of gritty fantasy roleplaying and open world exploration.The combat and atmosphere are also spot-on, even if the weapon degradation system is divisive. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch, Wii U): The largest in the series game by far, This Zelda has a map scattered full of mini-dungeons and a crafting and cooking system that will have you hunting snails for weeks.The fourth game in the series is the most accessible, and it includes a deep crafting and base-building element. Fallout 4 (PC, PS4, Xbox One): Fallout is Bethesda’s edgier sci-fi post-apocalypse version of the Elder Scrolls RPGs.When you’ve finished, try modding or the even elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Oblivion. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Everything): one of the most popular RPGs ever made, with an insane amount of dungeons and side-quests.If you do, and you happen to be playing on PC, you can add player modifications (Steam has them built-in!) to try out new stories, characters, items, and game mechanics.
These games include gargantuan overworlds, living breathing cities, huge amounts of dungeons, and so many storylines and side quests that you may literally never be able to finish them. If you want to sink your teeth into a massive game world, there’s no substitute for a big ol’ fantasy sandbox. Prices generally range between $10 and $60 for all the titles below. Editor’s note: Because game prices are so fluid and this is intended to be a comprehensive list, we have not included prices for the following games.
