Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favourite open world game of all time, it just feels amazing to be in. Less popularly, for something similar to BOTW, you could also try Genshin Impact.
Outward absolutely nails the sense of adventure and discovery. It's pretty low budget and janky but it is probably the best open world RPGs I've played in recent years
The Division 2 has been a huge time sink for me recently. It's surprisingly deep. Never played the 1st or 2nd until now because I heard bad things, but I'm really enjoying.
I actually did play the first The Division game but that was quite a MP game and it was to play with mates. Most ppl Ik has moved on from gaming lol. Is it good solo too?
I just finished Ghostwire: Tokyo and enjoyed it more than I expected given the tepid reviews. It’s first person but I found the combat satisfying. It’s easy to play in small doses if you don’t have much time. If you have PlayStation Plus Extra, it’s in the catalog.
If you’re into open world sandbox RPGs, you can’t get more open world sandboxy than Kenshi! It’s all third person point of view and you sort of manage a whole squad opposed to a single person. There is a whole base building mechanic, there’s a tech tree that you can research through, you can create and sell your own weapons, you can do you trading runs in between cities, you could be a lone Ronin wandering the desert sands, or a religious zealot being a xenophobic jerk who hate robot people (there are robot people), aliens (mhmm, them too) and women (ofc)! The possibilities are endless, especially since there’s no actual storyline! Oh, there’s a bunch of little Easter eggs about how the world (def not Earth, too many moons) got to this point but you’re not gonna spawn in a dungeon being pointed at the big bad (is the slave start in Rebirth canon? I have so many mods I’ve forgotten) you’re probably just gonna appear in the middle of the canyon, and then make the mistake of fighting goats, but the goats are stronger than you, so they beat you into unconsciousness, and while you’re lying there, waiting to become conscious once more some bandits rob you and a slaver comes by and picks you up and sells you into slavery. It’s a good time I promise. Oh, but be warned, there’s a lot of skills and it’s kind of grindy, a little like a single player MMO. It’s great and I love it.
I loved Days Gone. The combat/story/exploration/rpg elements all really hit the sweet spot for me. The progression was really satisfying too, once you get to the point you’re taking on entire hordes
The game got very mixed reviews on release. I even took a long time until I tried the game because people weren't really recommending it.
Even the sequel was canceled.
But at the same time, I feel that more people are now understanding that reviews mean fuck all and until you try the game you won't know if you like it.
I don't care about the graphics but I've always read that the controls are shit.
I'm thinking on buying the gothic games now that they are on sale, though. Morrowind is one of my favorite games and if this one resembles it even if it's a tiny bit, I could deal with the clunkiness.
