If the past several decades have taught us anything about open-world titles, it's that the best are built differently. It's not about the biggest map, the sheer amount of virtual square kilometers, or how much content is stuffed within, but how you go about designing it. After all, the main goal of an open world is in the name itself – creating a world that feels alive and lived in.

Several titles have achieved this in different ways – look no further than Cyberpunk 2077's Night City with its over-the-top ads, warring gangs, and unique NPCs. Then again, that doesn't mean titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom are lesser open worlds by comparison – just approaching the goal from a different angle. Of course, there are also games like Starfield, where, no matter how many planets with life are discovered, each feels less “organic” than the last.
