open world games are some of the most popular in the world some people are getting tired
of them but others absolutely love them for multiple reasons the exploration Factor the
insane amount of content that can be shoved into the game repetitive or not if it's done right an
open world game can be one of the most immersive experiences video games have to offer now there's
been some absolute bangers released just this year alone what is up everybody chaos here today we are
going over 10 of the best open world games that have been released in 2022 so you let me know
which of these is your favorite drop a like make sure you have those subs turned on with the bell
ringing and at number 10. Dying Light to stay human Dying Light was a surprise hit when it
launched all the way back almost eight years ago that's insane it makes parkour open World gameplay
with zombies and crafting to make make something unique the sequel was delayed a number of times
it finally dropped in early 2022 and some people were disappointed with the final product now I
think it's a great open world game on its own it's much more of a story driven RPG than its
predecessor but the gameplay it's been expanded upon new combat new parkour mechanics the story
isn't anything to write home about which is a tad disappointing after the developers hyped it
up but the gameplay the gameplay if that's what you're here for it's an awesome open world zombie
game it delivers with flying colors fans of the original will love it those who never played the
original won't be left behind thanks to it being largely isolated in the story and the
themes give it a shot don't let the Twitter mob drive you away from this one it's a good game
GTA 5 the Next Gen version this may be cheating but GTA 5 is one of the most successful games of
all time for a reason originally released in 2013 for the PS3 and the 360. IT featured everything
we wanted single player campaign incredible open world jam-packed content you know now Rockstar
had an insane success on their hands from day one they continued that money train with a PC port and
then an 8th generation console Port alongside the delayed launch of DT online which remains one of
the most popular multiplayer games of the world in early 2022 Rockstar finally dropped their PS5 and
Xbox series X version of Grand Theft Auto 5. now everybody's pretty much acquainted with the game
but this new version it was impressive loading times were faster the frame rate was smooth the
visuals were beautiful it's absolutely packed with content while I totally understand why people are
annoyed with the number of ports and updates it's gotten I don't see the issue if Rockstar wants
to keep supporting their game for almost a decade after launch so be it I mean it's commitment right
Monster Hunter rise the PC version monster hunter is one of capcom's babies but they don't really
release new injuries very often Monster Hunter rise is this next Mainline entry in the franchise
it dropped last year on the switch but in early 2022 it got the long-awaited PC Port huge step up
it was like previous monster hunter games rise featured a number of open maps extremely deep
gameplay mechanics and I guess you could argue that it's not a traditional open world game but
I'm gonna put it on the list because it features a lot of the same mechanics and it's worth playing
open world game fans will still get addicted rather quickly just about everything from Monster
Hunter world was expanded upon and the PC version features a number of huge upgrades from the switch
original including frame rates better better graphics less technical issues it's a really
good uh action RPG it is if you missed it in 2021 because it was on the switch now's your chance to
give it a go postal 4. I'm not kidding postal is a franchise you either love or hate and even if you
love it you probably hate certain aspects of it postal 2 we all know it's still the most famous
entry in the series because of the over-the-top humor and the extreme violence but the game
is legitimately fun and while postal 3 was a complete piece of garbage four it's actually a
much more enjoyable piece of garbage by no means is postal for a well-crafted game but it is fun
and in its defense nobody really expected it to be amazing the whole appeal of postal is it's so
bad it's good I mean in postal 4 is certainly doing its best to to be entertainingly bad but
it's legitimately fun and worth giving a try you run around complete random tasks basically do
whatever you want to various NPCs with ridiculous weapons and over-the-top Gore effects if you like
postal 2 you're gonna like postal 4. no it's not amazing and no it's not a game of the year
but it's the perfect kind of bad that will keep you playing for hours and at the end of the day
that's gotta be worth something Pokemon Legends now released in January of this year
somewhat of an experimental entry in the franchise it got somewhat mixed reviews you can let me know
what you think about it if you're part of the Pokemon fan base but it's worth playing the game
is an appropriate evolution of the tried and true formula features a large open world lots of random
Pokemon encounters but with much more engaging moment-to-moment gameplay and more modern open
world design now many people compared the open world of it to Monster Hunter breath of the
wild I could see that it's not perfect but it's interesting as an experiment I hope the developers
continue with it everybody is imagine with the classic top-down Pokemon games would be in a
proper third person open World gameplay and here it is fans of the franchise will get a kick out of
it honestly think it's a good introduction to the series for a modern gamer now we get into the top
five Horizon forbidden West now zero Dawn was one of the most successful new IPS in gaming history
sold tens of millions of copies on the PS4 alone before being ported to the PC now west dropped on
the PS4 and the PS5 early this year while the world seems to have completely forgot about
it I don't get it you explore a post-apocalyptic version of the western United States specifically
California Nevada and Utah the map is much bigger from the last game the combat mechanics are
smoother and deeper now the story may not be quite as impactful as what came before it but the game
plays top tier and if you're looking for a great open world game for your PS5 that will absolutely
satisfy this is it Horizon for Britain West is a great game for people who are new to open world
genres or you just want some beautiful eye candy while you run around and fight robotic dinosaurs
at number four cyberpunk 2077 the Next Generation or Next Generation the next-gen version now
cyberpunk is going to be fighting an uphill battle for a long time on the market but it's
doing a good job it's totally redeeming itself the original version We Know disaster bugs everything
controversy doesn't matter it's over right it's in the past since NCD project red has done their best
to keep moving forward and after countless updates in an official port to the new consoles it's more
or less the game we were promised on day one I know that's sad dystopian first person RPG plays a
mercenary trying to get to the bottom of the state of their city and the various gangs that control
it the story is engaging the game plays addicting no it's not as good as CD projekt Red's previous
work on The Witcher 3 but if you're looking for an addicting FPS RPG with some very beautiful visuals
and interesting themes it's worth another shot I know a lot of people passed on it because of
the launch but the game's in a good place now and the PS5 and Xbox series X versions dropped earlier
this year at number three Xenoblade Chronicles 3 released in July of 2022 for the switch open
world action RPG features a massive map to explore engaging party system it takes place in a world
with two warring factions you play as a group of friends trying to find a peaceful resolution while
also learning more about the world they live in in the history of the conflict in the world
itself it's deep the story's interesting the game plays great but the main draw is the insane open
world it is huge just running around the map can burn hours to days itself but it never feels too
big which is a pitfall a lot of modern open World Games fall into many consider Xenoblade Chronicles
3 to be the best in the franchise I'll let you guys decide smooth combat excellent story it's
probably going to get a port to PC or Playstation I'm sure the game I mean the game deserves to be
played with the best graphics and smoothest frame rates possible but if you're a switch
gamer and you're looking for a new open world RPG you owe it to yourself to give it a try
and number two Marvel Spider-Man PC version now the OG released in 2018 developed by Insomniac
games we all know the Legacy right one of the greatest superhero games ever made he played
his Peter faces off against a massive roster of iconic villains swings around a beautiful
Recreation of New York City The Swinging mechanics are arguably the best of any Spider-Man game ever
combat it's great it feels like Batman Arkham the amount of unlockable suits I mean everything you
can do in this it was crazy in August of 2022 the long-awaited PC Port was released since by Far and
Away the best experience for the game higher frame rates Ultra wide monitor support some absolutely
incredible mods at your disposal this is the Ultimate Spider-Man experience and it should
be played absolutely by everybody especially with the sequel reportedly coming next year it's one
of the best selling games of 2022 despite being four years old which should tell you just how
good this PC Port is and at number one today the best open world game of 2022 has to be hands down
Elden ring come on it took the World by storm perfectly translating the gameplay Loop of dark
souls to an open world format while also telling a compelling story accompanied by an absolutely
gorgeous World from software has been on one giant winning streak ever since they released
the original Dark Souls an elder ring is going to be hard to follow combat it's a tough of course
but it's addicting the world's huge the lack of objective markers in traditional open World
gameplay elements make it feel a lot more personal engaging eldering was critically acclaimed at
launch for good reason like I said the gameplay is basically the perfect escalation of dark souls
in the open world map is the gold standard for modern gaming right now I have no clue how from
software is going to follow this up but I'm eager to see what they do next rumor is they're working
on an armored Core reboot but hopefully they get that bloodborne PC pour it out first but if you
haven't played Elden ringa you need to and there you have it let me know one open world game that
launched and dropped this year that didn't make the list but it should have and I'll see you soon
