10 Best Open World Games of 2022

Forbidden West P'd me off. I'm a PC gamer so it hasn't arrived. And B: why change the weapons so a dumb buggers like me to have to learn all over again what works and what doesn't.
Also I've looked at some playthroughs while waiting and waiting and waiting for the pc port, and they seem to leave me not sure, dissatisfied probably hits it best.
I looked at Elden Ring intro, my first impression was YUK! I was put off initially by flashy/unrealistic opening . Then I heard you had to hunt for stuff instead of being led around by the nose with pointers to where you needed to go. So I had another look and found it was a console game not a pc one. Putting it on pc came 2nd.
Hogwarts Legacy taught me playing a console game on a pc while doable you couldn't EASILY, use all the keys because my finger have bones in them. having too select the fire numbers 1,2,3,4 while directing where I was going with a dodge using wsad, was difficult. But also using the keys at the bottom of the keyboard in a hurry was a stretch too far. I put 700 hours into it. Called it quits on the last update that changed Bombarda from an area effect to a one-shot if something died in the area. The broom controls were just so frustrating. And unlike Witcher 3 HZD and Skyrim. The though of the frustration in-game is just too off-putting to play it again.

So until I get a many key programmable mouse or better they set those games up for a proper flight sim Joystick. I'm stuck playing Witcher 3, Skyrim, HZD, all three of them great stories. But after thousand of hours in each, they are coming to an end for me. I'm finally going around both Witcher 3 and HZD for the 100%.
Yet I know I'll still play them again. Because they are that good.

I'm trolling the net for a game with something in it to make it worth playing in between those three games.
These days games seem to be mostly a flash blinding unrealistic story lacking, waste of time.

OR game producers producing all inclusive games that have sex interactions 95% aren't interested in because we don't screw the same sex. Do what you like with those who want you to. Don't shove it up my nose I like the opposite sex. Because I was made for it. For you who are gender challenged my sympathies. Stop rubbing my face in your problems. I have enough of my own. If there is a smart scientist out there how about some chemistry to stop sexual desire altogether. Then all our problems will be solved.

Entertainment industry including games. inserting what 5 to 10% of the population like and pissing of 90 to 95% is not good profitable business model. But a great way to go broke. Do the numbers. Talk to a booky. If you must. But while we are waiting for you to get over this brain fart I am getting bored. Give me a game I WANT TO PLAY. Story based founded in the real/normal/usual/possible fantasy. Not a monster so tall the feet are as wide as a football field and the player should have been squashed after taking four paces. A sword so small in comparison to the monster it would be like a prickle to us. All right a small exaggeration.

So far, Witcher 3 is the only one that really did it. HZD was good and almost got there. Both games had flaws that P'd me off. Geralt can't walk up a hill or down stairs without flattening his nose, or sitting on his ars. Made climbing to the high place for the view (which was worth the struggle) worth it.

HZD an open world with signs stay here and we'll reload your last save. GRRRRR. And what you saw wasn't always what was there. And you died because it wasn't a ledge you were jumping onto. It just looked like one. So you die……….. And go back to the last save.

Any who disagree, please feel free to offer suggestions. I'm getting desperate ????

Cheers Bob.

Slime Rancher 2… bro… really?????

What a bad year for open worlds

What about red dead redemption 2

ghost of tsushima is my number one at the moment

I don't know why you had to say "say what you want about the game but it's a very impressive open world" about Horizon Forbidden West. What might one say about the game itself? Lol
The game is almost flawless. Any issue to point out would be next level nitpicking. Best game I've played in the last few years

Great games, how long does it take to try them all? Oh, it's a pity there are not 60 hours in a day (. In addition to any reviews, I'm still looking for games on Steam, and purely by chance I stumbled upon Primal Menace, I was very interested, but there is not much information about this game, has anyone heard anything about it?

This list sucks! Top 2 Games are Obvious and the other 8 suck B@lls… ????????

Trash

The jump in quality from second place to first place is astounding. From a polished, generic, dime a dozen open world game with Horizon to a damn generational masterpiece with Elden Ring. Hopefully studios start breaking away from the tiring Ubisoft design.

I just wish Elden Ring had different difficulty modes.

None of these games peeked my interest not even the need for speed game

Ac Valhalla is a great games too

"mownan blade"?
mounTain

I find Elden ring really boring with the open world thing, it`s like a running simulator, i prefer the classic linear style a thousand time better.

Valheim is one of a better ones with a coop, thats what i love the most

Hol'don'ow… LEGO Star Wars is an open-world game? Oh wow!

I havr played a ton of games that are open world. I never played a souls game so I didn't know what to expect with elden ring. This game is a masterpiece there is so much variety of weapons armour talismans and consumables. Lots of places to explore challenging bosses and super fun pvp (not until you run into an intelligence spammer). It blew me away and only half way into my first playthrough I declared it as my favourite game.

God Of War: Ragnarok was such a huge disappointment. They should NOT have taken off Cory Barlog as Director. They fucked that game up pretty bad.

Cyberpunk 2077 should be branded as a game that came out 2022. They released the game in it's supposed launch version in year 2022. The 2020 version is basically an unfinished open beta test game.

All these great open world games, and still to this day nothing comes close to red dead redemption 2, the detail and effort put into that game is on another level

I dont get it. Elder ring seems very button-smashy

I LOVE HORIZEN ZERO DAWN I NEED FORRNIDDEN WEST TO COME TO PC

When I didn't see GoW and Elden Ring before nr 1 I thought we were gonna repeat the game awards

It's criminal that Saint's Row wasn't on this list….

Why can't games like these be in IOS too?? It's so annoying cuz these games that I played on iOS are boring asf and I love RPG and graphic games a lot tbh I hope I can play these games on Nintendo mostly the " ghost wire tokyo" I fell in love again with it by just seeing it lol ????

Zero interest in elden ring, but otherwise I love this list!

Also try genshin impact

Umm the vid has no sound

guess we have to wait 3 years for horizon FW to release in pc ????

Red Dead Redemption 2

NFS Unbound doesn't deserve to be in anything but a trash can ????️
