Best Open World Games | GPA Scores Compare Exploration × Story

Elden Ring, Skyrim, Zelda BotW/TotK, Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, GTA V, and more—open-world games selected via GPA scores. Classified into 5 types by exploration freedom.

Open World Games

"Exploration, story progression, and more—experience games with high freedom"—the essence of open-world games lies in that freedom.

Ignoring the main story to chase distant mountains, or spending hours in roadside ruins—this 'freedom to deviate' is the genre's core.

This article analyzes the experiential elements of open-world games. Whether you seek the thrill of vast wilderness or dense narrative exploration, we'll help you find games matching your preferences.
