Luckily, finding your next favorite game is easier than ever! There are tons of amazing options available, whether it’s a brand-new hit or an older title you never finished. Games like the monster-filled world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the underwater alien landscapes of Subnautica demonstrate that a game can be truly exceptional even if you don’t complete every single part of it. Here are five open-world masterpieces to prove it.
Originally released on the Nintendo 3DS shortly after Tomodachi Life, Miitopia shares a similar lighthearted feel and focuses heavily on customizing characters. The 2021 Switch version added even more customization options, including a makeup system, keeping Mii characters popular for the last five years. Plus, it’s usually less expensive than other Nintendo Switch games, making it a good choice if you’re excited for Living the Dream or just want a more affordable game.
Tails of Fate aims to achieve a similar goal, and I’m confident its art style and animations will attract players. I had a chance to try it out at PAX East and discuss future plans with the developers. That conversation left me optimistic and excited about what this game could become.
Watching One Piece, it really feels like the Elbaph arc is wrapping up after all this time – over fifty chapters, in fact! It seems like just yesterday the Straw Hats arrived on the island and first encountered the giants. Things quickly escalated, and they ended up in a tough battle with the Holy Knights, who almost defeated some of the crew.
Hades 2 takes place several years after the events of the first game, where Zagreus reunited his parents. Their happiness led to the birth of Melinoe, Zagreus’s sister, but the peace didn’t last. Chronos, the Titan of Time and father of many gods, returned seeking revenge for how the gods treated him. He imprisoned Zagreus, Hades, and Persephone, and seized control of the Underworld. Luckily, the sorceress Hecate rescued Melinoe and raised her to become a powerful and skilled warrior. Hades 2 begins with Melinoe as a seasoned fighter, completely determined to defeat Chronos.
Few games have recovered as impressively as No Man’s Sky. When it first came out in 2016, the survival space game didn’t quite deliver on the high expectations of its fans. But the developers at Hello Games kept working on it, consistently adding substantial free updates. Now, almost ten years later, No Man’s Sky has become the game many fans originally hoped for, with a much richer and more expansive open world. This dedication even earned it the Best Ongoing Game award in 2025. Because of Hello Games’ commitment to its players, No Man’s Sky remains a popular title on platforms like Steam, where thousands still play it regularly.
Slasher films, known for their masked killers, violent scenes, and stories about teenagers, became incredibly popular in the 1980s with follow-up movies to classics like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Though often dismissed as low-quality, the genre experienced a successful revival with the release of Scream in the mid-1990s.
