Comparing the size of open-world game maps can be difficult, so this list uses a different approach: it measures how long it takes to walk across each game’s entire map. Luckily, content creators like How Big is the Map? and Sonny Evans have already done this for many games! It takes just under three hours to walk across Cyberpunk 2077 and its surrounding areas, which is longer than it takes to cross The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s Velen and Novigrad (about one hour). While not a perfect method – walking speeds and map features vary between games – this gives a good idea of relative size. Here are some open-world games that are officially larger than Cyberpunk 2077, and therefore take even longer to cross on foot without loading screens.

Throughout the game, you’ll find locked doors. You’ll need to find the right key to open each one. It seems simple, but there’s a twist!

For years, turning video games into movies was considered a recipe for disaster in Hollywood. Attempts, whether animated like Final Fantasy or live-action like Max Payne, rarely succeeded. But the 2020s have changed everything, with huge hits like Sonic the Hedgehog, Fallout, Arcane, and The Last of Us. The Super Mario Bros. Movie, from Illumination, was a particularly big success, earning over a billion dollars worldwide. With a Mario sequel and a live-action Zelda film in the works, this trend shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

The PlayStation 5 had a difficult start in 2020, but it’s steadily gained popularity thanks to its exclusive games and support for well-known titles from other developers. As Sony has stopped fully supporting the older PS4, more players have upgraded to the PS5 to enjoy both backward-compatible favorites and new exclusives. While some major PS5 games, such as God of War Ragnarök and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, have become available on PC, the PS5 still offers a more budget-friendly gaming experience compared to building a comparable PC.

These games all ended on cliffhangers, leaving fans wondering what happens next for years, and sometimes decades. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see sequels to these titles due to various complications. We’ll take a look at these games, accepting that their stories may remain unfinished, but without revealing any major plot details.
