Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Hogwarts Legacy, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom all make the list as the top five best open-world games of 2023. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora places an emphasis on treating wildlife with care and hunting responsibly while Assassin’s Creed Mirage sacrifices scope for a single-city vision and is visually impressive. Hogwarts Legacy captures the look and feel of the Wizarding World while Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 offers a superb sense of spectacle and scale in its mission design. Finally, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the biggest and most detailed Zelda game ever made, featuring intricate islands in the sky and an entire underworld called the Depths.
This year offered a huge amount of land to explore that will keep us entertained until next year releases.
