00:00Man, what makes an open-world game a perfect 10 out of 10?
00:04Is it the story, the gameplay, the characters, or that captivating feeling that pulls you into the world and never lets go?
00:12After a lot of care, and a lot of difficulty, I managed to narrow things down to a list of just 21 games.
00:19Each one of them became an absolute must-play.
00:22So without further ado, let's get started.
00:251. Just Cause 3
00:28Alright, let's start with a game that gets a perfect 10 out of 10 for pure, unadulterated, chaotic freedom.
00:36Just Cause 3
00:37This is not a game you play for a deep story.
00:40You play it for the sandbox mechanics that encourage spectacular destruction.
00:45The core loop here is the unmatched traversal system.
00:49Combining the grapple hook, parachute, and wingsuit makes crossing the massive Mediterranean islands an absolute joy.
00:56That kinetic flow is the key to the game's addictive quality.
01:01I mean, who needs roads when you can glide from one side of the map to the other?
01:05The mechanics are ridiculously fun, especially the retractable tethers.
01:10Tying two enemy soldiers to a statue and then pulling the statue down on top of them?
01:15Priceless!
01:16My only honest criticism is that the framerate could get pretty rough when the screen was filled with too many explosions,
01:23but even that felt kind of appropriate for the chaos.
01:26I personally spent entire afternoons just trying to see if I could tie a tank to a plane and fly it into a gas depot.
01:34Just Cause 3 is a must-play, because it's the definitive physics-based destruction playground.
01:39Next up, let's talk about a game that redefined the franchise and deserves a perfect score
01:51for its unmatched immersion in historical fantasy, Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag.
01:58This is hands down the best pirate game ever made.
02:02The core experience is the naval combat and the sense of maritime freedom.
02:09Sailing the jackdaw across the beautiful, massive Caribbean map,
02:13recruiting your crew, and engaging in high-stakes broadside battles,
02:18that continuous piracy loop is what steals hundreds of hours.
02:23What I found truly brilliant was the sea shanty system.
02:27Having your crew sing as you sail is an incredible piece of atmospheric sound design
02:33that pulls you deep into the immersion.
02:36My slight critique?
02:37The Assassin's Creed portions, the actual tailing and eavesdropping missions,
02:42felt like chores compared to the pirate life.
02:45I vividly remember hunting down a legendary man-of-war on the high seas.
02:51Black Flag is a must-play because it's a masterpiece in historical open-world design
02:58that perfectly captures the adventure, the chaos, and the atmosphere of the golden age of piracy.
03:103. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
03:13Now we move to a title that earns a perfect 10 out of 10 for its unparalleled narrative depth and character writing.
03:21The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
03:24This game is an epic that sets the standard for every other action RPG.
03:30The core value here is that the side quests are as good, or often better, than the main story.
03:36CD Projekt Red filled the massive world of the Northern realms with morally ambiguous choices,
03:42and richly written individual dramas.
03:45That narrative density is why you can never put the controller down.
03:49The gameplay loop is addictive, focusing on mastering signs, alchemy, and sword techniques.
03:56Honestly, the only thing that held me back initially was the clunky horse traversal.
04:01Roach was notoriously glitchy, but that was a minor detail compared to the scale of the adventure.
04:06I spent countless evenings playing Gwent in taverns and getting lost in the politics of Skellige.
04:13The Witcher 3 is a must-play, because it's a generational masterpiece
04:17that proves storytelling and player choice can elevate an open world into a truly unforgettable experience.
04:304. Far Cry 4
04:32Rounding out this initial perfect block, let's talk about a game that deserves its 10 out of 10
04:38for chaotic, emergent gameplay and an incredible setting.
04:42Far Cry 4
04:43This sequel mastered the formula and gave us one of the most memorable villains ever.
04:49The core experience is the verticality of the Himalayan setting, Karat.
04:53The introduction of the grapple hook and the gyrocopter made traversing the huge, mountainous
04:59open world fluid and exciting.
05:02That dynamic movement is key to the fun.
05:05What I absolutely loved was the systemic chaos.
05:09Using the local wildlife, like riding an elephant through an enemy outpost, created amazing, unpredictable
05:15moments.
05:16And of course, Pagan Min is a legendary villain whose charisma hooks you instantly.
05:21My one critique?
05:23The narrative choices at the end felt a little flat compared to the weight of the rest of
05:28the story.
05:28But who cares when the moment-to-moment action is this good?
05:33Far Cry 4 is a must-play, because it's a phenomenally tuned open world shooter that delivers high
05:38octane action and pure, unfiltered mayhem.
05:42Are you cooking with me tonight, boy?
05:47Number 5.
05:48GTA V
05:50Alright, let's talk about the biggest open world sandbox to date, GTA V.
05:56This game gets a perfect score for its unmatched scale, satirical writing, and its incredible
06:02three-protagonist narrative structure.
06:04The core value is the sheer density of the urban environment.
06:09Los Santos is a massive, satirical masterpiece packed with activities, from deep-sea diving
06:15to yoga to stock market miniaturization.
06:19The seamless character-switching system added a brilliant narrative layer that keeps the story
06:24fresh.
06:25What I absolutely loved was the heist system.
06:29Planning and executing those complex missions with Franklin, Michael, and Trevor provided some
06:34of the most satisfying set pieces in gaming.
06:37My only critique, the single-player content updates felt slow after the initial launch,
06:43with too much focus shifting to online.
06:45I personally wasted an absurd amount of time just customizing my cars and flying under bridges.
06:52GTA V is a must-play, because it's the definitive urban sandbox experience, delivering high-value
06:59content, brilliant satire, and unmatched technical scale.
07:04It's a perfect 10 out of 10 for its unique mechanical commitment to a single-core concept.
07:20Mad Max.
07:21This game is an investment in desolate atmosphere and high-impact vehicular combat.
07:27The core experience is the magnum opus progression loop.
07:31The entire massive wasteland is essentially a playground for scavenging scrap metal to continually
07:37upgrade your car, from V8 engines to the thunder poon harpoon.
07:42That cycle of building up your vehicle is incredibly addictive.
07:46The vehicular combat is where the game excels.
07:49The physics are spot-on, and the feeling of crippling an enemy vehicle and then boarding it
07:54is pure satisfaction.
07:56My honest critique is that the on-foot combat, using the Arkel-like counter system, felt a
08:02little repetitive and less inspired than the road warfare.
08:06I vividly remember driving through a massive dust storm and thinking,
08:11this is the most atmospheric open world I've ever seen.
08:15Mad Max is a must-play, because it's the best post-apocalyptic vehicle simulator that
08:22completely commits to its desolate, brutal aesthetic.
08:297.
08:30Days Gone.
08:32Now, let's talk about a game that earned its perfect score through sheer intensity and
08:36systemic tension.
08:38Days Gone.
08:39This title is a definitive single-player survival experience defined by its unique threat.
08:46The core value is the unmatched scale of the Freaker hordes.
08:50The moment you encounter a swarm of 500-plus enemies, your adrenaline spikes.
08:56The game forces you into a high-stakes, tactical survival loop, where planning traps and managing
09:01explosives are essential to survival.
09:04The gameplay loop is constantly driven by bike management.
09:07Your motorcycle is your most important tool, and the continuous need to upgrade it and
09:12scavenge for fuel creates palpable tension.
09:16My one big critique was that Deacon St. John's constant early game monologues felt a little
09:21repetitive and slowed the narrative down initially.
09:24But once the hordes become the focus, all those minor flaws fade away.
09:29Days Gone is a must-play, because it delivers a massive, beautiful open-world survival experience
09:35with a level of systemic threat that is genuinely unforgettable.
09:43Eight, Immortals Fenyx Rising.
09:47Rounding out this perfect block, we have a game that gets a 10 out of 10 for its puzzle density,
09:53humor, and pure, joyful exploration.
09:56Immortals Fenyx Rising.
09:58This game is a bright, charming investment that avoids the typical grim open-world tropes.
10:05The core experience is the relentless stream of high-quality content.
10:09The map is absolutely packed with Vaults of Tartaros, brilliant physics-based puzzle dungeons
10:15that are rewarding and clever.
10:18The traversal mechanics, gliding and climbing, are fluid and fun.
10:22What I absolutely loved was the witty narration by Zeus and Prometheus.
10:27The constant, self-aware humor gives the game a unique, light-hearted tone.
10:33My honest critique is that some people unfairly dismissed it as a simple BOTW clone, but they
10:40missed the unique mechanical focus on Greek mythology and action.
10:44I personally spent hours upon hours just solving the massive liar puzzles and using my godly powers.
10:52Immortals Fenyx Rising is a must-play because it's a bright, charming, and mechanically rich
10:58open-world sandbox that delivers pure, unadulterated fun.
11:06Nine, Red Dead Redemption 2.
11:09All right, let's talk about the game that is arguably the most ambitious open-world simulation
11:15ever created, Red Dead Redemption 2.
11:19This masterpiece gets a 10 out of 10 for its unparalleled systemic immersion and its heartbreaking
11:25narrative depth.
11:27The core value is the dedication to realism.
11:30Arthur Morgan's saga is immense, but the game forces you to live in the 1899 setting.
11:36You have to gruel your horse, maintain your weapons, and even manage Arthur's cleanliness.
11:42That level of systemic detail is why you lose hundreds of hours.
11:46What I found truly brilliant was the emergent encounters.
11:50You set out for a mission, but you stop to help a stranger, get into a saloon brawl, and end up hunting
11:56a legendary bear.
11:58The world constantly generates unique stories.
12:01My one critique, the deliberate, slow movement speed can be frustrating when you just want
12:07to run through your camp.
12:08I personally spent entire sessions just fishing and camping because the atmosphere is that
12:13good.
12:14Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must-play because it's a generational masterpiece in world-building,
12:20technical fidelity, and profound character writing.
12:2310.
12:30Dying Light
12:31Switching from slow realism to hyperkinetic speed, we have a game that is a perfect 10
12:37out of 10 for its fluid traversal and adrenaline-fueled survival, Dying Light.
12:43This is the definitive zombie game built around first-person parkour.
12:47The core experience is the unmatched flow of movement.
12:52Wall running, climbing, and leaping across the rooftops of Haran never gets old.
12:57That sense of kinetic freedom is the biggest hook, making simple movement a continuous reward.
13:03The gameplay loop is addictive.
13:06You're constantly scavenging materials to craft ridiculous weapons, and the melee combat
13:11is brutal and satisfying.
13:14The real fun, though, is the day-night cycle.
13:16When the sun goes down, the terrifying volatiles come out, turning the game into a high-stakes
13:22terrifying chase.
13:24My biggest issue was the main storyline, which felt generic compared to the revolutionary
13:29gameplay mechanics.
13:31But when the parkour and the combat are this good, who cares?
13:35Dying Light is a must-play because it delivers a masterclass in first-person movement and high-stakes
13:41visceral survival action.
13:46The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
13:52Now, we move to the game that is an absolute 10 out of 10 investment in pure freedom and
13:59boundless exploration.
14:02The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim.
14:04If you haven't lost a piece of your life to this world, you need to fix that immediately.
14:10The core value here is the organic progression loop.
14:14You start escaping a dragon, but the world immediately pulls you away.
14:18You see a mountain?
14:20You can climb it.
14:21You find a random cave?
14:22It leads to a multi-hour dungeon.
14:25That continuous sense of discovery is what makes it a perfect game.
14:29The mechanics are addictive.
14:31Whether you're specializing your sneak skill, mastering destruction magic, or just endlessly
14:37crafting iron daggers for smithing, the game constantly rewards your investment.
14:42I vividly remember creating five completely different characters just to experience the
14:48different class builds.
14:49My only critique back at launch was the technical stability.
14:54The bugs were wild, but even those glitches became part of the charm.
14:59Skyrim is a must-play because it's a generational sandbox masterpiece that allows you to truly
15:05live a second life.
15:07Skyrim is a perfect 10 out of 10 for its unmatched atmosphere and phenomenal combat system.
15:23Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition.
15:25This open world is an essential experience that many missed.
15:29The core experience is the vibrant, neon-drenched Hong Kong setting.
15:34The developers nailed the aesthetic of the markets and crowded streets, providing a unique
15:39environment that feels alive.
15:42This sense of place is crucial to the game's success.
15:45The combat system is the star.
15:48It's a fantastic martial arts brawler, focusing on powerful counters, complex combo chains, and
15:54those incredibly satisfying environmental takedowns.
15:58Hello, woodchipper.
16:00It's the best hand-to-hand combat in any open world game.
16:04My biggest issue?
16:06The driving physics felt a little too loose and arcadey for the heavy atmosphere of the
16:10story.
16:11But I honestly didn't care because the undercover cop story was so compelling.
16:16Sleeping Dogs is a must-play because it delivers brutal, kinetic action, a gripping crime narrative,
16:23and unforgettable atmosphere.
16:29Number 13.
16:31Ghost of Tsushima.
16:33Alright, we're talking about a game that gets a perfect 10 out of 10 for unmatched artistic
16:39immersion and aesthetic perfection.
16:42Ghost of Tsushima.
16:44Sucker Punch created an open world that is simply beautiful to look at and engaging to
16:49explore.
16:50The core value is the stance-based combat system.
16:54Switching between the four stances to perfectly counter your enemies is fast, fluid, and incredibly
16:59satisfying.
17:01The standoff mechanic is a piece of cinematic genius that instantly makes you feel like
17:06a samurai legend.
17:07What I found truly brilliant was the guiding wind mechanic.
17:11Using the environment instead of distracting icons to guide your exploration is a brilliant piece of UI-free design.
17:19My slight critique?
17:21The stealth felt a little basic compared to the sublime action combat.
17:25But who cares when the dueling is this good?
17:27I personally spent hours just exploring the entire island, composing haikus and chasing foxes.
17:35Ghost of Tsushima is a must-play because it delivers a masterpiece in artistic direction
17:40and focused, high-stakes melee action.
17:43How long until the chopper gets here?
17:49I don't know.
17:50Probably like...
17:5014.
17:51Saints Row III Remastered.
17:54Next up we have a game that gets a perfect 10 out of 10 for pure, unadulterated, chaotic
18:00fun and customization.
18:02Saints Row III Remastered.
18:04This title is a massive investment in ridiculous, over-the-top mayhem.
18:09The core experience is the sheer level of absurdity and the immediate chaos.
18:15The game throws all realism out the window, giving you ridiculous weapons, amazing character
18:20customization and missions that involve skydiving naked.
18:25The open world is a massive playground for destruction.
18:28The remaster is the key value proposition, bringing the graphics and performance up to PS5
18:34standards, which is essential for maintaining the kinetic flow of the action.
18:39What I absolutely loved was the deep character customization and the focus on building your
18:44gang's power.
18:46My critique?
18:47Sometimes the random humor can be a little juvenile compared to the sharp satire of GTA,
18:52but honestly that's part of the charm.
18:55Saints Row III Remastered is a must-play because it's the definitive open-world chaos simulator
19:00and a fantastic investment in high-value, irreverent fun.
19:1015.
19:12Elden Ring.
19:13Now, we talk about the game that gets a perfect 10 out of 10 for unmatched scope, freedom,
19:19and mechanical mastery.
19:21Elden Ring.
19:22This is from software's biggest and most rewarding achievement.
19:27The core value here is the seamless open world of The Lands Between.
19:32You can go anywhere, fight anything, and the world is packed with hidden dungeons and secrets
19:38that reward organic exploration.
19:41That sense of endless discovery is the ultimate addiction loop.
19:45The combat system is notoriously difficult, but the build variety is infinite.
19:50You can spend hundreds of hours experimenting with different Ashes of War, spells, and weapons.
19:57My only complaint?
19:58The traversal on horseback can sometimes feel a bit sparse between major landmarks, but the
20:04sheer size justifies it.
20:06I personally lost an entire year to this game, constantly trying to beat that one annoying
20:11boss or find that one legendary spell.
20:15Elden Ring is a must-play because it's a generational masterpiece that delivers unmatched
20:20freedom, deep mechanical complexity, and endless replay value.
20:3016.
20:31Death Stranding 2 on the Beach.
20:34Rounding out this perfect block, we have a game that gets a 10 out of 10 for artistic vision,
20:39technical fidelity, and unique gameplay.
20:42Death Stranding 2 on the Beach.
20:44This is a massive, beautiful, and deceptively addictive logistical simulation.
20:50The core experience is the unmatched immersion and traversal puzzle.
20:55The game focuses on planning your routes, managing complex cargo, and building infrastructure, roads,
21:02zip lines, to connect a fractured world.
21:05This asynchronous community mechanic is genius.
21:07The technical spectacle on PS5 is a key value proposition.
21:12The visuals, the dual-sense haptics, feeling the weight of the cargo, and the 3D audio are
21:17all top-tier.
21:19My honest critique, which alienated some players, is that the deliberate, slow pace of the walking
21:25simulation is not for everyone.
21:27But if you get past that, the sense of accomplishment is huge.
21:31Death Stranding 2 is a must-play because it's a bold, emotionally complex narrative wrapped around
21:37a highly unique and addictive open-world progression system.
21:4517. Horizon Forbidden West.
21:49Alright, let's talk about the game that gets a perfect 10 out of 10 for visual fidelity
21:54and rewarding tactical combat.
21:57Horizon Forbidden West.
21:58This sequel is a monumental technical showpiece for the PS5.
22:03The core value is the unmatched graphical density.
22:06The world is massive, beautiful, and packed with detail, especially the underwater areas.
22:12The exploration loop is driven by the desire to see the next stunning vista, or find the
22:18next massive machine to hunt.
22:20The combat system is the addiction.
22:22Fighting the giant mechanical beasts is a tactical puzzle every time, forcing you to use
22:28Aloy's focus scan, craft elemental arrows, and strip off components.
22:33My only critique is that the sheer number of crafting systems and resources can be overwhelming
22:38when you're starting out.
22:40I personally spent hours just flying on my sunwing, taking in the scale of the world.
22:45Forbidden West is a must-play because it delivers a massive, beautiful action RPG that rewards
22:51skill, preparation, and environmental curiosity.
22:55Next up, we have a game that redeemed itself and now stands as a perfect 10-10 investment
23:09in atmospheric immersion and RPG depth.
23:12Cyberpunk 2077.
23:15Night City is truly one of the greatest settings in gaming history.
23:18The core value is the unmatched freedom of role-playing.
23:22You can choose to be a netrunner, hacking everything with quick hacks, or a chrome-plated gorilla
23:27with mantis blades.
23:29The build variety and the branching narrative provide immense longevity and replay value.
23:35The PS5's technical performance is essentially here, ensuring the dense, neon-drenched city
23:40runs smoothly.
23:41My only honest critique is that the sheer density of Night City often forces you to rely on fast
23:47travel, which can momentarily break the powerful immersion.
23:51I personally lost an entire summer just exploring the side missions and completing the amazing
23:56Phantom Liberty expansion.
23:58Cyberpunk 2077 is a must-play because it delivers a sophisticated, visually stunning RPG sandbox that
24:06fully commits to its dystopian vision.
24:11Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
24:17Now we talk about a game that gets a perfect 10 out of 10 for uncompromising historical simulation.
24:24Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
24:27This is the ultimate investment for players who crave depth, challenge, and realism.
24:32The core value is the systemic commitment to reality.
24:36You are Henry, and you start as a peasant who must earn every skill, whether it's reading,
24:41riding, or mastering the difficult, HEMA-based combat system.
24:46This focus on skill-based progression is why it's so rewarding.
24:50The open world is dense with historical detail and narrative consequence.
24:54Every action, from the state of your clothes to your dialogue choices, matters.
24:59My major critique is that the high barrier to entry and initial difficulty will certainly
25:04frustrate casual players.
25:06I personally love the fact that you have to take time to cook, bathe, and sharpen your weapons.
25:12Deliverance 2 is a must-play because it's a brilliant, challenging RPG simulator that
25:18delivers generational value through historical fidelity and complex freedom.
25:23Let's talk about a game that is a perfect 10 out of 10 investment in scavenging, exploration,
25:35and creative addiction.
25:36Fallout 4.
25:38The Commonwealth is a desolate, lore-filled masterpiece that constantly rewards curiosity.
25:44The core value is the addictive scavenging and settlement building loop.
25:48You're always driven to explore the ruins to find that one specific piece of junk you need
25:53for a weapon mod or to expand your settlement.
25:56That blend of FPS action and base management is unique.
26:00The open world is packed with hidden lore, unique characters, and terrifying secrets.
26:05My biggest critique is that the voice protagonist felt like it limited the pure role-playing depth
26:10compared to earlier Fallout titles, but the sheer fun of the gameplay makes up for it.
26:15I personally spent hundreds of hours just building insane settlements in places like Spectacle Island.
26:21Fallout 4 is a must-play because it delivers a massive, vibrant, post-apocalyptic sandbox
26:27that rewards creative freedom and endless exploration.
26:3521.
26:36Batman Time, Arkham Knight.
26:38And finally, we close out this ultimate list with a game that is a perfect 10-10 investment
26:44in superhero mastery and kinetic action.
26:48Batman Arkham Knight.
26:50Rocksteady delivered the definitive, polished Batman experience.
26:54The core value is the flawless free-flow combat system.
26:58It's the best brawler system in history.
27:00Chaining combos, gadgets, and partner attacks provides unparalleled kinetic satisfaction.
27:06Combining this with the grapnel traversal makes moving across Gotham addictive.
27:11The open world of Gotham is massive, dense, and feels alive with criminal activity.
27:17My biggest complaint?
27:18The Batmobile, while cool, was overused in repetitive tank battles, which sometimes felt
27:23like unnecessary padding.
27:25But seriously, the Predator's stealth scenarios and the sheer wealth of side content are incredible.
27:31Arkham Knight is a must-play because it's a masterpiece in mechanical perfection.
27:35Delivering an unforgettable, high-fidelity superhero power fantasy.
27:44So, there you have it, guys.
27:4721 perfect open-world games you must play.
27:50From the historical simulation of Deliverance 2 and the fluid web-swinging of Spider-Man 2,
27:56to the immense challenge of Elden Ring, these titles are the absolute pinnacle of gaming.
