A concept that has intrigued humans for thousands of years is the notion of unity with nature. Imagining yourself meandering through picturesque landscapes, coexisting harmoniously with the wildlife, and discovering a sense of meaning outside of society is a theme that spans a vast array of games, from “Red Dead Redemption 2” to text-based games and everything in between. On the other side of this spectrum lies the Steampunk aesthetic, which emphasizes industrialization, advanced technology with a twist of retro-futurism, and a focus on the tangible rather than the intangible, cranking up these elements to maximum levels. Gamers eager to witness the collision of these two forces of nature versus Steampunk should explore these open-world titles.
