Open-world games are giant playgrounds that offer endless possibilities to anyone willing to explore them. They are not necessarily a game genre, but rather a game feature with the potential to elevate and make any genre more detailed and challenging.
Since it is a feature, it can be applied to a diverse range of games whose storylines or gameplay are suitable for long playing hours or long journeys.
A prime example of an open-world game is Minecraft games. Not only are there no limits to their maps but the worlds themselves are in permanent change as per the players' creativity. Try Minecraft Classic, for example, and you will be able to see how the game’s landscaping is in constant change.
MMO games are also no strangers to the use of open-world settings. As multiplayer arenas, this feature allows these games to expand the number of players they can accommodate and the meeting places for those players to assemble and interact. In games like Stein.World, it also increases the number and variety of quests they can employ to make them more attractive.
Another game genre that is taking advantage of open-world settings is GTA games and car games in general. Take Miami Crime Simulator 3D or Grand City Car Thief, for example. When you are engaged in a world of crime, the last thing you want is to be caught by the police because you reached the city limits and there is nowhere else to run.
Online open-world games are like never-ending stories in which you never run out of things to do and try. There can be quests to complete, puzzles to solve, secrets to uncover, cities to be built or things to get stolen. You can be a brave hero, a daring explorer, or even a sneaky villain. It's all up to you! Start playing now!
