If you are looking for a game with which to disconnect and isolate yourself from everything, you are in the right place. We bring you a selection of open world and survival games in which to live authentic adventures (either alone or accompanied) to the point of losing track of time. Be careful because they are tremendously addictive. You are warned.
What is an open world game?
The evolution of PC hardware and the consoles themselves have allowed developers to unleash their ideas where there were limits before. Those limits, so that you understand them quickly, could be translated into endless maps and scenarios, where before continuity was broken with loading times and black fades.
Now the landscape is almost infinite , your character can move freely and, best of all, there are elements in it that will define the game, such as characters that will ask you for specific tasks or areas in which to spend a good time trying to overcome some challenge. But the fun goes further, to the point of creating your own life in it.
This is the case of survival games, titles in which when you close the session, your character is still present in some way (sleeping, for example), so you could be attacked or robbed by other players present in the game . There is no use collecting food and leaving the door open when you leave. When you come back, you could have lost everything.
Open world games and survival
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
This Bethesda game is one of the classics of this genre, since it has given rise to many users living all kinds of adventures. Set in the fictional region of Skyrim, we will have to make our way through this peculiar kingdom to try to destroy Alduin, a dragon that is supposed to destroy the world.
As you advance you will be able to improve the characteristics of your character, getting clothes, weapons and skill points, at the same time that you will meet many other characters that will distract you with long conversations.
Subnautica
Tired of so much land and mountains? Quiet, the deep ocean awaits you. But don’t think that you are going to your favorite vacation spot. In Subnautica, the marine depths of an alien planet await you where you have landed in an emergency after suffering a space accident.
You only have your transport capsule and your curiosity to make your way in the deep sea and find all the necessary resources to get ahead and find a way to leave the planet. You will get it?
Grand Thef Auto V
Not everything will be going through life alone. In GTA V we will live in a very rogue representation of Los Angeles (called Los Santos) and in which three parallel plots of three different characters will be developed that will hook us from the first moment. Thefts, persecutions, crime … a very explosive combo that will not leave anyone indifferent. If you want a game where you can do whatever you want, GTA V is your game. For some reason it is one of the best-selling games in history.
Rust
Imagine that you appear completely naked on an island and you have to find your life collecting resources and materials to create your own refuge. Do you think it sounds like the creation of your own paradise? Not so fast. In the game there will be other players in your same situation and even more advanced, so they could be armed, decide to end your life and steal all the work you have done so far.
In Rust there are no laws, and if you decide to disconnect from the server, try to leave everything in order and protected, because you could suffer sabotage with which to take a good displeasure when you play again. How far will you be able to go to survive?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Put yourself in the shoes of the most famous sorcerer in fantasy literature, Geralt of Rivia, travel the Northern Kingdoms and face countless monsters and strange creatures until you find Ciri, the character who will define your entire story. In the meantime, hundreds of characters will chat along the way, commission thousands of side quests, and experience climate change on your way to the end of the prophecy.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Another one that could not miss on this list is Red Dead Redemption 2 , one of the most advanced open world games of the moment. The level of detail and care that Rockstar has infused into the game is capable of moving us to the Wild West in a region where the law of the fittest rules. Everything happens with shocking realism, and it truly makes us feel that the game comes to life on more than one occasion. Complete contracts, avoid the problems (or not) and dive into the fantastic story of Arthur Morgan.
Minecraft
You may still not understand what the famous cube game is about, but trust us, there is an amazing universe hidden under each block. With Minecraft your imagination will have no limits, and you can embark on adventures, explore the individual map or simply start building at your whim to bring original constructions to life.
