The current gaming context is crowded with open world titles. There are so many of them that some of them often escape the attention of the general public despite their undoubted qualities. For this reason, today we decided to highlight three niche but absolutely worthy open world games.
Season: A letter to the future
Don’t expect towers to climb, enemies to defeat and dungeons to explore. Season: A letter to the future is a third-person adventure that allows you to explore a fascinating and colorful open world on a bicycle, while the music changes and adapts to the landscapes and situations.
The protagonist’s goal is to collect memories before a mysterious cataclysm wipes out everything . With his tools, he can document, photograph and record art, architecture, landscapes, sounds and music, all while encountering a diverse cast of emotionally complex characters full of stories to tell. Season: A letter to the future is a relaxing and thoughtful open world that can be purchased on PlayStation 4, PS5 and PC . He doesn’t speak Italian, but it’s not an insurmountable obstacle.
Cloudpunk
We completely change genre to immerse ourselves in the neon-noir atmosphere of a rain-soaked cyberpunk metropolis. No, we’re not talking about Cyberpunk 2077 (which also knows rocks), but rather Cloudpunk , a story-driven open world characterized by a delightful voxel graphic style.
In Cloudpunk you play as a courier on his first night of work for the delivery company “Cloudpunk”, which has only two rules: “never miss a delivery” and “don’t ask what’s in the package”. On foot or in a flying car you will explore every corner of the metropolis, meeting all sorts of characters (from unscrupulous humans to androids, up to artificial intelligences) and revealing the mysteries of a world of corporate conspiracies, hackers and criminal AI . Find Cloudpunk on PC, PS4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
Blacktail§
With the aim of offering you a very varied selection, we complete this brief overview by mentioning Blacktail , a first-person action and adventure game set in a fairy-tale world.
Blacktail puts you in the shoes of a young Baba Yaga, inviting you to forge her origins: will you become the guardian of the woods or the terror that nightmares are made of? At the age of 16 she was accused of witchcraft and expelled from a medieval Slavic village, after which you will witness the impact of her (your) choices on the game world and its inhabitants . The combat system is based on the use of a bow and magical abilities. Blacktail can be purchased on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
