A Short Hike
It’s a cute indy game about reaching the top of a mountain (no, not a Celeste clone i swear)
A Short Hike is the best answer to this question. I’m sad that we haven’t had a release of “Another Short Hike” yet.
Red Dead 2. Law killed my horse in Valentine, so I decided to walk and hitchhike back to Clemens Point. I wrestled a bear, found the plague village, blew up a KKK gathering… just regular old west things.
The early STALKER games are also nice, if you’re into that sort of atmosphere. Nothing beats the feeling of sitting in the rookie village next to the world’s most mediocre guitarist.
Just make sure to skip walking through Tall Tree, Roanoke Ridge, and Bluewater Marsh.
I don’t remember if it is in fact open world, but a game for just chill and take a long walk from start to finish is Firewatch
Kingdom Come Deliverance 1/2. I just picked up 2 a few weeks ago and imo it is one of the best games ever made
Morrowind.
Miasmata.
Gothic 3.
Shadow of the Colossus. Just gorgeous scenery, even on PS2 emulation.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
LA Noire, if you like 1940s cities.
Whenever the mood hits me to play Red Dead 2, I always jump on my horse and just pick a direction and go for a ride.
It’s inevitable that some shit will be stirred up, but for a good while it’s just nice to hear nature and the steady trot of Ace.
Skyrim
If you’ve played and enjoyed skyrim and want more of it, do check out Enderal!! Trailer 1, Trailer 2
The version you install will depend on the version of skyrim you own:
Tons of new scenery, and fast travel is way limited so if you want a game to just slow down in and soak in the sights, look no further.
Easily one of the best stories I’ve ever experienced.

Lovely and terrifying all at once. Can’t wait for the new one!
Nobody mentioned elden ring, seriously?
The visuals in that game were amazing, and the changes in different scenery and themes. Holy shit. My #1.
Eh.
Without the unique boss designs and gameplay mechanics, the world looks and feels like every other Souls, but with more pixels. Not bad, but not strong enough on its own.
Guild wars 2, large world, lots of variety in scenery.
Also can try stuff where that’s the point like Wildmender is about healing the land and chill, or eastshade. Which is just about enjoying the scenery.
Journey.
Abzu.
Planet Crafter.
Satisfactory.
I personally think it’d be cool to walk out on any of the fields in Rocket LeagueGosh there’s so many though. Almost every game, haha.
I have high hopes for Light No Fire.
Right now I find Cyberpunk 2077 surprisingly pleasant to wander around in. Sure it’s dangerous, but when you’re so chromed to the gills you can shake off a high speed collision there isn’t much threat.
Daggerfall, Ultima Online, Morrowind
Mod the bossfights out of Witcher 3 or BG3 and they’d both be awesome
World of Warcraft
As the game Raft is fun, fairly simple, huge, good for playing with friends or kids with out a ton of experience playing games, it’s got a decent story. Spent last summer beating it with my daughter and we both really liked it
Did you extend a single board hundreds of meters from your raft so you could clip into buildings?
lol wth, no we definitely did not! We did end up with a floating village essentially, and it was so good to spend so much quality time with her and problem and chatting all summer 💜 Raft has a special place in my heart lol
