00:41 Cyberpunk 2077 It's truly been a rollercoaster of a ride
00:51 for Cyberpunk 2077.
00:54 From the botched launch of the game, to the myriad bugs, glitches, and broken game states,
00:59 all the way to the PS5 next gen updates, this game is brimming with highs and lows.
01:04 No matter how you personally feel about the game and how it was handled, it's hard to
01:08 deny that it's a great open world to explore and live out your cybernetic fantasies in.
01:13 If for some reason you aren't aware of this game, it's a heavy duty action RPG from CD
01:18 Project Red, one taking place in Night City.
01:22 The city is overrun with corporations that seek to control every aspect of life, from
01:26 the city's streets to inhabitants' augmentations.
01:29 There's a meaty world to get lost in and plenty of stellar quests.
01:33 Plus, the game famously has Keanu Reeves playing as Johnny Silverhand, which is pretty darn
01:38 awesome.
01:43 Assassin's Creed Valhalla
01:52 Are you looking to get lost in a gargantuan open world?
01:55 One brimming with lush beauty, arid landscapes, castles, villages, and oodles upon oodles
02:01 of secrets and legends?
02:02 Well, if so, then Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the open world game for you.
02:07 You step into the Viking role of Ivor, a playable male or female character who must leave the
02:12 Nordic lands in search of making a new home and clan in England.
02:16 Along the way, Ivor meets up with others who teach him about the Assassin's Brotherhood
02:20 and the nefarious Templar Order.
02:22 Valhalla is a game that wants you to take your time, especially given how much is going
02:27 on at any given moment.
02:29 From lengthy, narrative-rich main quests, to mythical side quests, to discovering powerful
02:34 weapons and armor, there's always something new to do around every beautiful corner.
02:39 Being able to tackle combat scenarios with stealthy assassinations or palpable meaty
02:43 combat means the game can be tailored to your liking.
02:54 Diablo 4
03:03 The sheer pedigree of Blizzard when it comes to the Diablo series really can't be understated.
03:08 This uber long-running, isometric, dungeon crawler action RPG series has managed to stick
03:13 around for decades, even with some serious missteps.
03:17 Yes, yes, I'm very much looking at you, Diablo Immortal.
03:21 2023's Diablo 4 is a remarkable step in the right direction for the massive-scale open
03:26 world RPG.
03:28 This is one heck of a high-caliber game that will keep you immersed and hooked for the
03:32 long haul as you explore the dark, moody, spooky, and foreboding world of Sanctuary
03:37 and its many offshoots.
03:39 You can once again play as a wide variety of character classes, such as the Barbarian,
03:44 the Sorcerer, the Rogue, and more.
03:46 While the game is broken up into zones, its scope and scale ensures it falls into the
03:51 open world realm.
03:52 There's just so much to do and explore in Diablo 4, and it never gets old taking on
03:57 new quests, donning some new gear, discovering a creepy secret or two in-world, and taking
04:03 on terrifying bosses across the game's chunky narrative.
04:14 Street Fighter 6
04:23 So I don't know about you, but when I first heard that the fighting game juggernaut Street
04:28 Fighter was moving to an open world, I was naturally perplexed.
04:32 Fortunately, those thoughts quickly abated since the game's sixth mainline outing is
04:37 downright incredible, with the open world lifting up an already fantastic fighting game
04:42 model.
04:43 Sure, the various open world areas might seem goofy, cartoony, uncanny, and certainly offbeat.
04:49 However, you can't deny that being able to wander around, walk up to a character to
04:53 engage in a fight, and then have an excited crowd gather round isn't superb fun.
04:58 The level of creativity and customization in Street Fighter 6 is staggering.
05:03 Apart from decking out your avatar with all sorts of cosmetic goodies, you can also unlock
05:08 special skills, arts, and moves, as well as pummeling opponents with easier to use combos
05:13 and actions.
05:15 The open world here is brimming with hilarity and charm, but even if you just want to battle,
05:20 the fights are just as kinetic and enjoyable as ever.
05:29 Hogwarts Legacy
05:30 Good golly, Hogwarts Legacy is a truly magical and spectacular game.
05:40 If you want to see the epitome of a truly detailed, thriving, robust, and lived-in open
05:45 world, then look no further than this game.
05:48 Both Potter fans and non-Potter fans have so much to enjoy with Hogwarts Legacy.
05:53 The game has a truly grand story about wizardkind and goblins, the plot of Ranrock, Rookwood,
05:59 and Harlow, and the life of a brand new fifth-year student at the renowned magical school for
06:04 witches and wizards.
06:06 Getting to explore the likes of Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, the Black Lake, and the
06:10 undeniably cozy, quaint, and bucolic countryside is nothing short of extraordinary.
06:17 And if all of that open world stuff wasn't enough, the game totes some amazing and stunning
06:21 magical combat with a wide array of devastating spells, plants, and potions to utilize at
06:27 any given time, on top of the uber-powerful ancient magic.
06:31 Whether you are exploring the magical open world via your broom, diving headfirst into
06:36 the plethora of exciting questlines, or tinkering with your own personal room of requirement,
06:41 you can feel every ounce of love and passion that was poured into this mesmerizing game.
06:53 Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales
07:06 Following up from the masterful Marvel's Spider-Man, this second outing sees our titular
07:11 web-slinging hero venture through the snow-covered, Christmas-themed streets of New York City.
07:17 After being mentored by Peter Parker, Miles Morales must now helm the role of Spider-Man
07:21 in and around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Harlem, and other areas.
07:26 While the open world gameplay here remains pretty unchanged from its predecessor, Miles
07:30 can perform a new suite of moves and powers in tangent with some awesome new costumes.
07:36 Apart from the stellar web-swinging that still remains incredibly intoxicating, it's the
07:41 new Spider-Man app that Miles can still utilize to track crimes around the city.
07:46 Featuring a palpable emotional story, tons of new and returning villains to take down,
07:50 and even some simpler gameplay moments where you play as Miles minus his Spider-Man getup,
07:56 the game is a real treat to experience.
08:05 Horizon Forbidden West
08:13 Sony sure has a penchant for upping the ante when it comes to their sequels.
08:17 Sure, Zero Dawn was phenomenal, but Forbidden West is on a whole other level when it comes
08:23 to open world design, gameplay variety, and visual/auditory fidelity.
08:28 Once again, we step into the role of Aloy, who must venture across a western United States
08:33 region, one brimming with utter beauty, stellar vistas, and, of course, ravaging machines.
08:39 Aloy is on a momentous journey to reboot Gaia, but doing so will continue to prove challenging
08:45 for her.
08:46 In a sense, Forbidden West is simply more of the same open world goodness that was seen
08:51 in Zero Dawn, but everything is ratcheted up to Eleven.
08:55 Quests are robust and narrative heavy, the robo-dinos and animals are still just as ferocious
09:01 and fun to take down, and the characters you encounter are more memorable than ever.
09:05 Plus, the Burning Shores DLC adds a whole new level and layer of fun to the experience.
09:16 Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut
09:26 Jin Sakai is one heck of a badass protagonist, and you will feel like one too as you play
09:32 through Sucker Punch's open world masterpiece.
09:35 Taking place in Japan, you must ward off the Mongol invasion, specifically in regards to
09:39 the island of Tsushima.
09:41 As a samurai, Jin must venture across the downright stunning landscapes, seeking answers
09:46 and helping the inhabitants along the way.
09:48 The first time you see the wind blowing through a verdant field of flowers as the sun rises
09:53 in the pastel sky is a moment you won't soon forget in video games.
09:58 The thrill of exploration in this game is just second to none.
10:02 Well, that and of course the stance-based katana combat that will truly test your mettle.
10:07 While stealth is always an option in the game, it's the melee samurai battles that help
10:12 this game stand out from other open world titles.
10:14 Plus, the 2021 Director's Cut version added a whole bunch of new features to an already
10:20 packed game, including dynamic 4K resolutions, full Japanese lip sync, 3D audio, and more.
10:32 The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
10:41 So you might be thinking, how in tarnation does a 2015 game make the cut for the best
10:47 PS5 open world games?
10:48 Well, I mean, first off, it's The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, need I say more?
10:53 Secondly, a 2022 complete edition was released that made the PS5 version the definitive version,
11:00 with increased performance and fidelity across the board.
11:03 The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt likely leads little to no introduction at this point in time,
11:08 given that it's often revered as one of the very best action RPGs and open world games
11:13 of all time.
11:15 Step into the monster hunting role of Geralt of Rivia as he traverses a Slavic-inspired
11:20 fantasy world, hoping to find his adopted daughter, Ciri, and, as you might have guessed,
11:26 taking on all manner of hideous beasts, monsters, and aberrations alike.
11:30 There are so many reasons why this is one of the best open world games on PS5, but it
11:35 mostly comes down to impeccable writing and quest design, a meticulously curated and crafted
11:41 world, and a suite of gameplay options that always gives you something to do.
11:52 Elden Ring
11:59 The combination of FromSoftware's intricately designed gameplay and environmental storytelling,
12:05 along with George R.R. Martin's rich narrative prowess, is a match made in heaven, with Elden
12:10 Ring being the proof of that pudding.
12:12 Elden Ring managed to breeze past its initial 2022 release, Zeitgeist, to become one of
12:18 those games that seemingly everyone has at least tried once.
12:22 Receiving near-universal acclaim for its gorgeously realized dark fantasy world, utterly punishing
12:27 yet still somehow accessible gameplay, numerous character builds, freeform exploration, and
12:33 more, this game is a true showcase of why open world games are just so darn popular.
12:40 Pursuing traditional waypoints, markers, and guidance in favor of a more organic approach
12:45 to worldbuilding, players are encouraged to find their own path forward, with each death
12:50 in the game teaching you something new, not unlike other Soulsborne games.
12:54 There's a palpable sense of awe and mystery in the world of Elden Ring that is unmatched
12:59 on the PS5 for those up to the challenge.
