So I decided to get it, when I realized it was inside a museum for the victims of Johnny's bomb. So I walked around it, saw the ruins of the old Arasaka building, checked the info and saw the exit left me in the main entrance of the Arasaka Building, so I walked around Corpo Plaza to have a better look at it and the other corpo buildings, saw their architecture, the Fishes, the plaza... and then two hours later I realized I've been walking around the city like some kind of tourist, grasping every detail of the city, the people, buildings, vehicles...

You eloquently summarized my feelings about the worlds of Fallout, Skyrim, Witcher, RDR2, and especially CP2077. The latter is, hopefully, nearing the completion of its redemption arc with the Phantom Liberty release. I so desperately want people to play this gorgeous melancholy game -- to experience the unique emotional depth of the writing and the ambition of its dystopian themes. Most games don't even try for this level of story complexity and elegance. RDR2 is likewise a game about ideas, and like any great work of art (literary, film, etc.) every image and encounter of the game is pointing towards the game's central questions and the heartbreaking answers Arthur finds on your journey through his rugged disappearing world. Really well-done essay here. Thanks for putting so much thoughtful effort into it!

Whenever Assassins Creed's OST (ezios family) starts playing, it always brings out memories from my teenage, some sad, some beautiful. Ezio's voice start to play in my head from different games and by the end of the music, it always goes to the letter that ezio wrote for sophia in embers. Call it nostalgia but I don't think I will ever have this much affection for any other character. requiescat in pace Ezio.

I finally finished Horizon Zero Dawn this year and wow. The storyline and world were quite thought provoking. Especially given the developments in technology recently.

I was so lucky to have experience the Mass Effect Trilogy. It's just perfect. I became so attached to all the characters. My other favorite is Cyberpunk. I'm just a sucker for good world building and story line.

I loved in Mass Effect just reading about the different planets. Generally there wasn't much to be gained game-wise from that knowledge but it added such a cool dimension to the backdrop.

I played all Rockstar, activision, bethesda games. Outerwilds is still a masterpiece in open world immersion The amount of excitement and sense of achievement playing outerwild and subnautica I simply can't explain in words.

There is no lore, the cities themselves are not trying to tell a story, they are not concerned with the individual experiences of its citizens; they are merely a playground or sandbox for the player. It may seem cliche, but unlike the games mentioned in this list, I believe that the GTA series lacks meaning and heart, which for me is core for a believable and immersive world.

With all the Lore behind it and the beautiful Artstyle i think DA deserves a place on this list. Though It is difficult to make video about this topic because it all depends on personal experience and preferences. I for example really like AC origins. But when it comes to captivating worlds i prefer Black Flag. It may not deliver the best feeling of being an Assasin in a ancient world but it certainly gives you the feeling of being a kick ass pirate.

The look of the place, the people around you, the dynamic of the city, the conversations around you, the advertisements screaming at you at every corner just give Night City that unique vibe that I did not experience anywhere else.

Cyberpunk 2077 is also my personal favorite game of all time, and I'm so happy to hear that I'm not alone on this. I do think though that the choices are meaningful, it only depends on how you define meaningful. Some, if not most, think that if the choices do not alter the world itself, then they're not meaningful, but to me, they're very meaningful as they really change my experience of the game. For example, some of the clips shown in the CP77 segment of this video have characters or scenes that I didn't meet or experience because I chose differently in my first playthrough. During my first playthrough, my friend talked to me about Jackie's ofrenda, and I was wondering if it's a bug that made me not experience it. Only to find out in my second playthrough that I didn't experience it because in my first playthrough, I chose to send Jackie's body to Vik's and that in turn allowed Arasaka to get his body and attempt to make a construct out of it, which you'll meet at the end game if you chose the Arasaka ending. In my first playthrough, Mama Welles just simply sent me they key to Jackie's arch instead of giving it to me personally during his ofrenda. I could think of many other examples but this comment would be too long.

The various endings in Cyberpunk were mindblowing. They were really meaningful because you actually got to see how your choices played out, in life. Too many games (like the Fallout games) just have some voiceover and pictures at the end.

For me The Last of Us, Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, and Fallout are the Mount Rushmore of gaming worlds. Games that even if they made an iteration that wasn’t that good are just so inherently interesting with their actual worlds that you can’t help but be completely captivated by them and want to give them another try. With these games the appeal really goes beyond whatever cast of characters you’ve previously met or any of the things that usually make a game memorable. A lot of games are a lot less so if you aren’t the person you are in their worlds; going to Arkham is a lot less cool if you aren’t Batman. But with these four games even when the story is finished, when all the tales of V, Ellie, commander Shepard and your Vault Dweller are told you would still just want to come back, and that person and everyone they met along the way really don’t even have to be there. But *YOU* want to be. If I had to pick a favorite I think it’d be Cyberpunk because when the game dropped it wasn’t even good-I was lied to about it’s features and I could barely even play it-yet I was hooked. Completely enamored with this world from the visual design to the way the society is setup to the culture. The world just feels so real.

Thank you for your love for Cyberpunk.

Morrowind and Skyrim are majestic ❤

I've been playing so many games since the 90s so I'm not really sure if Cyberpunk 2077 is also my favorite game of all time, but it's probably in my top 5, which is saying a lot since I've played a lot of great games. But since a lot of the other comments and you already pointed a lot of things to love about Cyberpunk 2077, I wanna talk about another game featured in the video - Arcanum. I'm so happy that it is included in this video because it's a game that I played during my high school years and you know what, I don't even remember its story, but the great feeling I had playing it stayed with me throughout all these years and from time to time I would still remember that game.

Love cyberpunk will touch on the biggest reason in my next video so I can always point to it

I'm so glad people are finding and falling in love with Cyberpunk. I tried it when it first came out and chose to wait til the fix and finally got around to it in January this year and its up there in my top five game worlds of all time while also just having kickass writing and bad ass characters. Great music too. My only gripe was they could have added more races because I LOVED the driving mechanics in this game. It just felt so fluid. To go from glitchy mess to one of my favorite games of all time is a testament to the CDPR devs who didn't give up and put in the work. Its damn near flawless to play now, at least on the PS5 anyways. I already ordered the DLC.

Love your enthusiasm. Great video m8!

Outer Worlds was good, but if we're being real, the world was not all that great. Rather the worlds plural, as there wasn't much on the planets aside from quest givers and generic bandits. The DLC's were utterly amazing though, especially the detective one.

Great video, great analysis and great words for summarizing awesome gaming experiences in ME, CP2077, TES and others. I'd have added "The Outer Worlds", also a dystopic universe, where from Corporate POV, no life matters. During the walkthrough, as it happens with CP2077, you meet the other half of the coin, with characters clinging to life and awesome stories. Thank you Frank! You have a new sub BTW.

I just started the outer worlds and was hoping that it would be mentioned in this list, just so I could feel more confident that I'd enjoy it haha, but I'm glad it was at least mentioned by someone here.

I agree with most but I miss Pillars of Eternity 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn, both which have beautifull and vibrant worlds.

To add to a very incredible world, I must congratulate SureAI in their development of both Nehrim and Enderal. They managed to create a world with its own incredible lore and characters, and Enderal is just an exquisite experience to play at least once in your life.

Monster Hunter for me had one of the best and unique world there is in video gaming, and it doesn't even have a single open world game in its franchise.

I never heard a so well written/spoken game review. It makes you really want to get this game and just sink in. I even had tears in my eyes as you were describing my favorite game❤ mass effect for life❤

I really like Cyberpunk. It’s such a good vibe and even just walking at night in Night City is sometimes therapeutic.

I have one word. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The world people don't get tired of living in since 2007

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you. ✊💯

Nice list. I would just add Pillars of Eternity's world of Eora - For me one of the most "belivable" fantasy worlds due to politics having an actual impact on the world, religion vs science substories and overall mood and lore that is captivating and grounded while at the same time fantastical and weird.

Great selection! The best games are always those with an immersive world.

Man, that triggers memories. Driving the Mako under alien skies. Making camp on a pillar of the Ghostfence in a storm. Travelling the snowy wilds of the Grizzlies trying to get away from it all, bound by a loyalty I knew in my heart was misplaced, but couldn't quite shake nonetheless. Sitting on a concrete balcony talking to Johnny, and suddenly knowing what to do, becoming whole by accepting my fate. Yes, I also think worlds are often the true stars of our games, and you only realize the profound effect they've had years after the fact.

Sleeping Dogs is most definitely one of my most favorite games. It had such a good world and a there was even a game mechanic (face level) that encouraged you to interact with the npc encounters, which were interesting for the most part.

Great video man, NEVER apologize or feel the need to explain why Cyberpunk is your favorite game, from day one it earned the title for me. Beautiful game, I have zero issues with it minus not keeping the apartment at the end. You showing my baulders gate made me wishlist that, it looks sop cool.

My personal number one is Mount & Blade: Bannerlord. Unlike most worlds in video games, this one is truly alive. Characters grow up, gain skills, marry, have kids and die, kingdoms ally and wage wars, borders change, families rise to power and fall... True, it's all rather low key and takes a lot of time to truly unravel, but it gives you this rare feeling of the world existing independently of player's character.
