you’ll need to set aside a few days or
weeks if you want to go and do
everything these places have to offer
I’ve seven targets anticipated travel
route and a meeting location to your man
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 open-world videogame Maps did you
eliminate the target yeah yeah I took
care of him for this list we’re taking a
look at the most vibrant and visually
stunning worlds that have virtually no
barriers and are brimming with quests
treasures and the occasional easter egg
these maps must have been manually built
however thus ruling out procedurally
generated environments like the ones
used in Minecraft and please do remember
we are ranking the maps not the games so
chill out number 10 Gotham City Batman
Arkham Knight I saw a guy great
scarecrows gas one’s not video games
have the license to bring new life to
places we have already visited in other
media and the final entry in the Arkham
series of action adventure titles
imagines Gotham like never before
talk or I’ll crush every bone in your
body it dwarfs the worlds of the other
games in the series yet still manages to
pack in plenty of dark and disturbing
detail on every street and alley way
the game was notable for having more
Batmobile gameplay and while not
everyone was crazy about that the
destructible environment had been
purposely built to give the players the
most enthralling methods to take down
the myriad of thugs littering those
streets number nine London
Assassin’s Creed syndicate perhaps the
most instantly recognizable city in the
world has always been at the forefront
of cultural and technological innovation
and so it provides the ideal setting for
the latest entry in this historic
adventure series let’s go
with the introduction of the grappling
hook every building can now be ascended
at unprecedented speed
this makes scaling the face of Big Ben
and gazing out over the Big Smoke
incredibly easy while the more modern
cityscape served as a welcome change
from the previous games if you scratch
away enough at that layer of smog and
dirt that covers the city there are
plenty of secrets to be found number
eight the Commonwealth fall at four okay
yes we know not an RPG New Vegas was
better
damn you Bethesda and so on but we’re
counting the maps here and fallout 4s
Commonwealth was a huge step up from the
previous games the leap to the next gen
may not have given us all the
interesting conversation choices we
hoped for but what it did give us was
density
between the more open starting region
near sanctuary and the no-man’s land of
the glowing sea bethesda gave gamers
something that really felt like a ruined
town or city instead of just a small set
of ruined buildings I would approach
cautiously where I you I feel he does
not want visitors number seven new
Austin Nuevo Paraiso and West Elizabeth
Red Dead Redemption this title as a
whole managed to capture the essence of
the Wild West and its intricately
crafted backdrop is essential in the
enduring popularity of the game although
West Elizabeth had the greatest variety
in landscape boasting mountain ranges
and towering forests the way Rockstar
have managed to make barren expanses
consistently breathtaking is the Maps
greatest success the way Valparaiso is
the fictional territory of northern
Mexico and it particularly struck a
chord with players who marveled at how
the scenery utterly resonated with the
soundtrack and overall tone of the game
beautiful up here isn’t it
hello there friend you come to enjoy the
scenery I guess I have number 6 planet
Mira
Xenoblade Chronicles X
if you’ve ever wanted to feel the thrill
of an adventure on a living alien world
planet mira may be the destination for
you as long as you’re here why don’t I
take you on the transport it’s a great
way to see the city I’ll give you the
Grand Tour the sheer scale of the world
is absolutely breathtaking split across
five different continents with each
being more distinct than the last
from the bioluminescent forests of
noctilum to the ancient ruins of oblivia
each region is sprawling with equal
parts unique and terrifying wildlife
making each of these areas feel alive
after many hours of play you’ll
eventually get a hold of the flying
mechs called Skell which will allow you
to see the already massive world in a
whole new perspective
number five much of the United States
the crew
reviews for this ambitious racing title
were mixed but it’s 1,900 square mile
map received almost unanimous praise in
this lively scaling down of the USA you
can easily recognize the distinctive
landmarks and features of the games six
major cities and their surroundings
the relatively lifelike persistent world
also had numerous activities for you and
countless others to take part in the
length of which suits the grand scale of
the map as they can take up to an hour
to complete
you can go and cruise around your
hometown but just don’t expect to see a
video game version of yourself on the
side of the road
you
number four the continent The Witcher 3
Wild Hunt the name of the continent is
actually never revealed with the focus
of this RPG instead being centered
around the northern kingdoms and the
nilfgaardian empire
while it may not feature a huge amount
of variety the sheer scale and detail on
display gave the game a sense of realism
and cultural authenticity a feat worthy
of respect there was something noble
about sailing through the rocky waters
of args galley or pushing through the
busy streets of novigrad something
that’s hard to come by anywhere else
I’ll make sure news of your deeds
spreads across the five aisles number
three Vardhan pal
the Elder Scrolls 3 morrowind I heard
them say we’ve reached morrowind I’m
sure then let us go so many avid
adventurers got their first taste of
Tamriel either in Oblivion’s serie dill
or in Skyrim’s Skyrim but let’s take a
second to appreciate the accomplishment
and wonder that is morrowind Spartan
fell
this is a map on par with the ones from
its sequels and it’s from 2002 this was
before fast travel was a thing save for
a few boats and still Striders we
finally arrived but our records don’t
show in play this was before open world
maps became a series of icons that
represented the same copy-pasted fetch
kill or counter the outpost quests and
yet it still managed to look incredibly
diverse and unique whatever you’re
looking for I’m sure I don’t know how to
find it strange almost alien towns damp
festering marshes barren dust swept
Ashland’s if you got to play this when
it came out it definitely blew your
friggin mind
number two Los Santos Grand Theft Auto 5
every single GTA game that Rockstar
releases somehow improves upon its
predecessor and this groundbreaking
title keeps getting better in every
update there’s no limit to the carnage
you can cause throughout this fictional
version of Los Angeles
ride a BMX straight down Mount chiliad
or take a tank through a bustling
CityCentre blowing up as many of the
world’s bizarre and deranged citizens as
you like maybe the next time you’re
raining down hell on the world below
from your jet take a minute to enjoy the
picturesque views from a more serene
angle
before we reveal our top pick let’s have
a look at some honorable mentions I got
him
happiest picture will you the boss wants
his crew best idea that all day what
happened to the ice cream with many pies
your wife bought this morning we
probably ate it I don’t remember steps
you good number 1 Azeroth World of
Warcraft
this MMORPG revolutionized the genre and
gaming as a whole and we’re pretty sure
that it’s huge fantasy world filled with
intriguing more certainly played a key
role in that success the fate of those
locked beyond its threshold has remained
a mystery until now with every expansion
the map gets larger and that brings with
it more quests and new races to add even
more depth but if there’s one crowning
achievement for this world that Blizzard
created it’s that our ability to make
each environment unique from the last
each time you enter a new zone you know
it
it’s that striking diversity of
locations and then the immensity of the
tasks and creatures to conquer within
that makes Azeroth our number one pick
