GamingTranscript
00:00Everyone complains about $70 games, but let's be honest, most of them aren't even worth
00:05half of that.
00:06I've bought so many overhyped games that critics gave 9 or 10 out of 10, and in the
00:12end they were pretty average.
00:14So I decided to buy all the big open world games just to make sure they were really worth
00:19the full price.
00:20I'm still paying for them to this day, but I found 15 games you need to play before you
00:27die.
00:281.
00:30Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Look, if you're tired of Chosen One stories
00:35where you start as a god, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is your reality check.
00:40The sensation of being Henry, just a regular guy in medieval bohemia, is so grounded it's
00:47addictive.
00:48You actually have to learn how to fight, how to read, and even how to wash yourself so people
00:53don't treat you like trash.
00:55It's a literal time machine.
00:57The gameplay is crunchy and deliberate.
01:00The swordplay isn't just button mashing, it's a tactical dance.
01:04I have this vivid memory from my first playthrough where I got absolutely wrecked by two peasants
01:10in a muddy field because I was being cocky.
01:12That's when I realized something was different.
01:15This game doesn't hand you victory, it makes you earn it.
01:19The impactful emotion of watching Henry grow from a clumsy blacksmith's son into a capable
01:25warrior is one of the most rewarding arcs in gaming.
01:28Is it janky sometimes?
01:30Yeah, it's a massive simulation.
01:32But that's the charm.
01:33If you buy this game, you won't regret it.
01:36Especially if you want an RPG that actually feels like a role playing experience.
01:41It's muddy, it's bloody, and it's brilliant.
01:44I've played a lot of living worlds, but Monster Hunter Wilds is on a whole different level.
01:57Well, the sensation of the ecosystem actually reacting to you is mind-blowing.
02:02One minute you're tracking a monster through a calm valley, and the next, a massive weather
02:07shift turns the whole map into a lightning-filled nightmare.
02:11The monsters don't just stand there, they hunt each other, they take cover, and they
02:15feel like real animals.
02:18The gameplay is all about the dance between you and the beast.
02:22Swapping weapons on the fly with your mount, the sacred, is such a game-changer.
02:27I didn't expect this moment, but I found myself just watching a pack of Doshaguma interact
02:32for 10 minutes instead of attacking them.
02:35The impactful emotion hits you when you finally take down a massive threat after a 20-minute
02:40struggle.
02:41It's pure adrenaline.
02:43The learning curve for the 14 weapons can be a bit steep, and the sheer amount of loot
02:48might overwhelm you at first.
02:50But the memoria of a successful hunt with your buddies is unmatched.
02:55This is where the game changed for me, when I realized it wasn't just a boss rush game,
03:00but a survival epic.
03:02It's worth every penny for the sheer depth alone.
03:073.
03:10Frontiers of Pandora
03:12I'll be the first to admit, I'm usually skeptical of movie games.
03:17Without Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is a technical miracle.
03:21The sensation of being a Na'vi in that jungle is breathtaking.
03:26Ubisoft's massive entertainment, the guys behind the division, created a world that feels
03:31bioluminescent and alive.
03:33When you're running through the undergrowth and the plants react to your touch, the immersion
03:37is 10 out of 10.
03:40The gameplay is surprisingly stealth heavy and vertical.
03:44Flying on your Ikron for the first time is a memory I won't forget.
03:48The sense of scale when you break through the clouds is incredible.
03:51That's when I realized something was different.
03:54It's not just Far Cry with blue people.
03:57The way you craft, hunt, and connect with the land feels way more meaningful.
04:02The impactful emotion comes from seeing the RDA scar the beautiful landscape and feeling
04:07a genuine urge to push them back.
04:10My only gripe?
04:11The combat against human mechs can feel a bit repetitive after a while.
04:16But the worldbuilding?
04:17Man, it's the best digital tourism you can buy.
04:21Here, you feel that your money was worth it, because the visuals alone are a masterclass.
04:26It's a gorgeous, peaceful, until the bullets fly, and massive journey.
04:354.
04:36Death Stranding 2 on the Beach
04:39Hideo Kojima is a madman, and Death Stranding 2 on the beach is his masterpiece.
04:46The sensation of the world is so surreal and lonely, yet oddly comforting.
04:51Your Sam Porter bridges again, but everything feels bigger and weirder.
04:56The physics of just walking, balancing your pack, navigating crumbling terrain, and dealing
05:01with massive environmental shifts is weirdly addictive.
05:05It's like a meditative puzzle game.
05:08The gameplay adds so much more variety this time.
05:11The new vehicles and gadgets make the traversal feel like a high-tech expedition.
05:16I didn't expect this moment, but I found myself getting genuinely choked up over a conversation
05:21with a companion robot.
05:23The impactful emotion is heavy.
05:25It's a story about human connection in a world that's literally falling apart.
05:30The memoria of reaching a new vista after a grueling trek, with a beautiful track playing
05:36in the background, is pure Kojima magic.
05:39It's a slow burn game, and yeah, the Kojima-isms are everywhere.
05:44Expect long cutscenes.
05:46But this is the type of game that justifies the price, because nobody else is making anything
05:51even remotely like this.
05:53It's a unique, high-budget art piece that you can play.
05:57This is the kind of game you don't forget.
06:05Number 5, Horizon Forbidden West.
06:09If you want to see what the PS5 is actually capable of, Horizon Forbidden West is the benchmark.
06:16The sensation of exploring the Forbidden West, from the neon-lit ruins of Las Vegas to the overgrown
06:22remains of San Francisco, is just pure awe. You play as Alloy, and the impactful emotion
06:29hits you when you realize the weight she's carrying. She's not just a hunter anymore,
06:34she's trying to prevent the literal end of the world.
06:37The gameplay is a tactical dream. I spent dozens of hours just hunting slitherfangs,
06:43these giant mechanical cobras, trying to knock off specific components for upgrades.
06:48This is where the game changed for me, when I unlocked the ability to fly across the map on
06:53a sun wing. It completely changes how you see the world. The combat is sharp, and the weapon
07:00variety is massive. My only gripe? The inventory management can get a bit tedious with all the
07:06different machine parts, but here you feel that your money was worth it because the production value
07:11is just untouchable. It's a massive, vibrant, and incredibly polished sci-fi epic.
07:22Six, Ghost of Yotei. Following up on a masterpiece like Tsushima is a tall order,
07:29but Ghost of Yotei takes the sensation of being a wanderer to a whole new level. We're moving from
07:35the island of Tsushima to the lands around Mount Yotei, and man, the atmosphere is thicker than ever.
07:42Playing as Atsu feels fresh, the world is more frontier and lawless, and the landscape is
07:48breathtakingly beautiful. The way the snow and the wind react to your movement is a memory I'll take to
07:54my grave. The gameplay keeps that razor-sharp katana combat we love, but adds a bit more grit to the
08:01encounters. I didn't expect this moment, but the focus on the solitude of the journey hit me way
08:07harder than I thought it would. You really feel like a ghost in a land that hasn't been tamed yet.
08:13The impactful emotion of carving your own path through a historical epic is just peak sucker
08:19punch. It's a more focused experience than some other bloated open world games, and that's why it
08:24works. If you buy this game, you won't regret it. It's a visual masterpiece that respects your time
08:31while offering some of the best swordplay in the industry. It's pure, unadulterated samurai and ronin poetry.
08:48Number seven, Cyberpunk 2077. I know the launch was a mess, but the Cyberpunk 2077 we have now,
08:56especially with the Phantom Liberty expansion, is a 10 out of 10 masterpiece. The sensation of driving
09:03through Night City at 3am with the neon lights reflecting off the rain on the asphalt is pure
09:09future-noir perfection. You play as V, but the real star is Johnny Silverhand, Keanu Reeves. The impactful
09:17emotion of having this cynical punk rock ghost living in your head creates a companionship that I've never
09:23seen in another game. The gameplay is finally where it needs to be. Whether you're a netrunner melting
09:29brains from across the street, or a solo with mantis blades, the combat is fast and visceral. That's
09:36when I realized something was different. I found myself just sitting in a noodle shop listening to
09:41the ambient noise of the city, totally absorbed in the vibe. The story is a high-speed chase through the
09:47dark side of technology, and it's surprisingly personal. This is the type of game that justifies
09:53the price because the sheer depth of the writing and the world building is unmatched. It's a gritty,
09:59beautiful, and deeply human story in a world that's anything but.
10:038. Days Gone Remastered. I've always said Days Gone was misunderstood, and this remastered version
10:16finally gives Deacon St. John the spotlight he deserves. The sensation of the high desert of
10:22Oregon is so moody. Watching a thunderstorm roll in while you're low on gas is genuinely stressful.
10:29But the real hook? The hordes. The memory of stumbling upon 500 freakers pouring out of a cave
10:36like a wave of death is pure adrenaline. The gameplay revolves around your bike. It's not just a vehicle,
10:44it's your lifeline. You have to repair it, fuel it, and upgrade it. This is where the game changed for me,
10:50when I realized the story wasn't just about zombies, it was about brotherhood and loyalty. Deacon's
10:56relationship with Boozer is one of the most authentic friendships I've ever seen in a game.
11:02The first few hours are a bit slow as you build up your gear, but once you start taking down hordes,
11:07there's no feeling like it. Here you feel that your money was worth it because it's a massive,
11:1360-hour odyssey with a surprisingly heart-wrenching story. It's a gritty,
11:18rainy, and soulful road trip through the apocalypse.
11:279. Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Swinging through Manhattan in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is, hands down,
11:34the most therapeutic thing I've ever done in a game. The sensation of momentum, the way the music
11:40swells as you dive off the Avengers tower and pull up at the last second, is just perfection.
11:46Insomniac didn't just make a superhero game, they made a New York simulator. The memory of Peter
11:52trying to balance his messy personal life while the city falls apart around him makes the stakes
11:57feel so much higher than your average comic book movie. The gameplay is a rhythmic dance. Switching
12:03between Peter and Miles is seamless, and those new web wings change the way you see the city skyline.
12:10But it's the heart of the story that steals the show. The impactful emotion hits you hard during
12:16the Kraven and Venom arcs. It gets surprisingly dark. That's when I realized something was different.
12:22I wasn't just playing for the cool suits. I was genuinely worried about the mental state of my
12:27favorite heroes. My only gripe? Some of the side missions can feel a bit like busy work. But everything
12:34else? It's a 10 out of 10 polish. If you buy this game, you won't regret it. It's the ultimate love
12:40letter to the character, and a reminder of why we love heroes in the first place.
12:4410. Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This game is a literal mountain of content. Assassin's Creed Valhalla
13:00doesn't just ask for your time. It demands it. I remember stepping off the long ship into the English
13:06countryside for the first time. The sensation of the fog in the ancient ruins. It's incredibly moody.
13:14You play as Ivor, and the journey from Norway to England feels like a true Viking saga. It's a
13:20slow burn journey that makes you feel the weight of every axe swing. The gameplay is massive. You're
13:27raiding monasteries, building your settlement of Ravensthorpe, and forging alliances. The world
13:33events are actually great. I once helped a guy who had an axe stuck in his head, and it's a memory
13:39that still makes me laugh. The impactful emotion comes from Ivor's struggle with their Norse identity
13:45versus the changing world. This is where the game changed for me, when I stopped trying to play it like
13:51a stealth game and embraced being a Viking leader. The main problem is that it's almost too big. If
13:58you're a completionist, this game will steal 150 hours of your life. But when you're leading a raid,
14:05blowing your horn and seeing your crew hit the shore, the adrenaline is real. Here,
14:11you feel that your money was worth it because you're basically buying a Viking life.
14:1511. Mad Max
14:23I am still convinced Mad Max is one of the most underrated open world games ever made. The
14:29sensation of the great white, this dried up seabed, is just hauntingly beautiful. Your car,
14:36the magnum opus, is the real protagonist here. I spent hours just upgrading the engine and the spikes.
14:44The vehicle combat is crunchy and brutal. Hearing the metal grind as you harpoon a wheel off an enemy
14:50car is a memory of pure, raw action. The gameplay is a mix of Batman-Arkham-style brawling and high-speed
14:59car chases. It's simple, but it works so well. I didn't expect this moment, but I found myself getting
15:06genuinely attached to Chum Bucket, your weird little hunchbacked mechanic. The impactful emotion hits
15:13you toward the end when the mad in Max starts to make sense. It's a lonely, desperate struggle for survival.
15:21The world can be a bit repetitive with the outposts, but the atmosphere is 10 out of 10.
15:27This is the type of game that justifies the price, because the car physics and the storms
15:32are some of the best in the business. If you like Fury Road, this is a must-play. It's a dusty,
15:39gasoline-soaked masterpiece.
15:4712. Mafia Definitive Edition.
15:51This isn't your typical sandbox where you go around causing chaos. Mafia Definitive Edition is a
15:57cinematic crime drama that uses its open world as a stunning stage. The sensation of lost heaven in
16:05the 1930s is incredible. The jazz on the radio, the heavy handling of the old cars, and the rain-slicked
16:13streets. You play as Tommy Angelo, and watching his rise and fall in the Salieri family has a massive,
16:21impactful emotion. The gameplay is focused, the shooting is weighty, and the simulation driving
16:30mode makes every chase feel like a life-or-death struggle. That's when I realized something was
16:36different. When I realized I wasn't playing GTA, I was playing a period piece. The memory of the Fair
16:43Play racing mission—yes, the famous one—is a test of patience that makes the victory feel so much sweeter.
16:51It's a shorter experience than others on this list, but the quality of the acting and the lighting is
16:57top-tier. Here you feel that your money was worth it because it feels like playing through a $200
17:02million Scorsese movie. It's a tight, focused, and incredibly atmospheric story about loyalty and betrayal.
17:1113. Far Cry 4
17:21While everyone talks about the third one, for me, Far Cry 4 is the peak of the series' sensation of adventure.
17:27Being dropped into Kairat, this fictional Himalayan kingdom, is just… wow. The verticality is insane. One minute you're
17:35wingsuiting off a snowy peak, and the next you're riding an elephant into a fortress, knocking over
17:41gates like they're made of toothpicks. The gameplay is that perfect chaos sandbox, but the real standout is
17:48the villain, Pagan Min. I didn't expect this moment, but within the first 10 minutes he treats you like
17:54an old friend while doing something absolutely horrific. And that dynamic keeps you hooked the
17:59whole time. The memory of liberating an outpost perfectly stealthy only for a honey badger to show
18:05up and ruin everything is the kind of emergent fun you only get here. It hits a massive impactful emotion
18:13when you realize the civil war you're fighting in isn't black and white. Both sides of the rebellion
18:18have some serious flaws. It's a gorgeous high-altitude playground that never gets old. If you buy this
18:25game, you won't regret it, especially for the co-op. It's the ultimate just one more outpost addiction.
18:3514. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Complete Edition
18:43I've lost hundreds of hours to Geralt of Rivia, and The Witcher 3 still manages to steal my time today.
18:51The sensation of the wind howling through the trees in Velen while a Lela Lay track starts to play in
18:57the background gives me goosebumps every single time. It's a world that feels morally gray. There's no easy
19:05choice, and the impactful emotion of seeing the consequences of your actions 50 hours later is
19:11devastating. The gameplay is legendary for its side quests. In most games, a fetch quest is boring,
19:19but here finding a missing goat might lead you into a tragic story about an ancient curse.
19:26This is where the game changed for me. When I realized I wasn't playing for the XP anymore,
19:31I was playing because I genuinely cared about Ciri, Yennefer, and the people of this broken world.
19:38The memory of the Bloody Baron questline is, in my opinion, the best writing in gaming history.
19:45With the Complete Edition, the graphics and the loading times on modern hardware make it feel brand new.
19:52Here, you feel that your money was worth it because the two expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine,
19:58are basically full games themselves. It's a masterclass in worldbuilding that every gamer needs to experience.
20:1315. Red Dead Redemption 2
20:16We're ending with what I consider the most detailed world ever built. Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't just
20:24a game. It's a living, breathing simulation. The sensation of the Old West is so heavy and deliberate.
20:31The way the mud sticks to your boots. The way you have to brush your horse. The way the light filters
20:37through the morning mist in Saint Denis. It forces you to slow down and actually exist in 1899.
20:45The gameplay is weighted and physical. Every gunfight feels like a life or death struggle.
20:51But the real 10 out of 10 is Arthur Morgan. Watching his journey, his doubts, and his attempt
20:58at redemption creates the most impactful emotion I've ever felt in a medium.
21:03That's when I realized something was different. I stopped fast traveling. I just wanted to ride my
21:09horse, hunt some deer, and watch the sunset. The memory of the gang singing songs around the campfire
21:16is something that stays with you forever. It's a long, slow burn tragedy that will break your heart
21:22by the time the credits roll. This is the type of game that justifies the price. Because the level of
21:28craftsmanship is borderline insane. It is the gold standard of storytelling. You don't just finish
21:35this game. You survive it.
21:40And that is the list guys. 15 open world games that actually respect your hard earned cash.
21:46These are the worlds that didn't just meet the hype. They blew right past it and became a part of my life.
21:52But hey, that's just my experience. Which one of these 15 worlds is the one you'd live in if you could?
21:57Or did I miss a game that you think is worth every single penny?
22:01Let me know in the comments. I love reading your takes.
