Creating a truly engaging open-world game is a significant challenge. It’s difficult to build a world that feels alive and offers players enough to do for a long time. While many developers have attempted this in the popular open-world genre, many haven’t quite succeeded. Even those games that don’t receive the best reviews can still be enjoyable, despite some flaws.
