You can mess with the overall quality of the Death Stranding and its fantastic story, but few games hold a candle to its open world. It is a place where beauty and danger go hand in hand; A world where you can see slow moving grasslands, rocky outcroppings and lazy rivers while delivering packages.

It’s such a good story that HBO has acquired the rights and is producing one of the best TV shows of 2023. Joel and Ellie’s story, a horror story, full of danger, where the drama never stops. Even when things are going well in this zombie-style action game, The Last of Us Every moment manages to create a sense of tension, even those with beauty and love at their core. While on the surface it may seem like ‘just another zombie game’, it is much more than that, building on everything that has come before in the survival horror genre.

The list of action and adventure games is a bit odd. Desperados 3 is a strategy game played in an isometric perspective. Why is it on this list? Well, the game is set in a world of cowboys, bandits and all those wild west tropes that we love. If you’re not ready to leave this routin’ tootin’ world, the characters and story here, along with the art style, will keep you alive.

In the entire cast of The god of war Not a bad character really. Each voice is brilliantly acted, wonderfully captured and animated, all fully realized in a way that pulls the player further into the world they inhabit.

Well, I was going to pick one game for stealth and the other for action, but really, when you just think about the word combat, bloodborne Not far behind. To be fair, there’s no stealth in Bloodborne, but the swordplay is balletic and gorgeous. It can be tight and in your face, or a slow hit from carefully out of arm’s reach. Once you throw in the nimble rolling and frenetic pace of the boss fights, you’ve got a real gem for those looking for awesome combat.

Saints row You have always been the poor cousin Grand Theft AutoBut Saints row 4 It was a real gem that deserves plenty of players. It took the humor that many are missing GTA And sent him into overdrive, all the while focusing on committing crimes. In fact, it’s the humor that carries the game. Yes, the Crime Spree stuff is fun, but with many missions featuring silliness, the game is meant to keep you laughing as you go on a rampage.

For sheer beauty, while sticking to a wide open world and deep story, it should be Horizon Forbidden West. Whether we’re looking at closeups on character models, or overlooking a world of rippling water and lush greenery, this game is jaw-dropping. Sometimes you come across a game that forces you to just take a moment and appreciate the view and this is that game.

You can’t really recommend alternatives Red Dead Redemption 2 Without the least mention GTA V. It’s an easy choice.
