[@prodigy6099]

I would like to add an honorable mention. Mad Max is another very tough open world and gathering water, scraps, and other things all while being hunted by bandits, all those things plus surviving in the desert makes the game have a dangerous open world. Another mention: The metro games. Specifically Metro Exodus, because, well, Metro Exodus.

[@andrejansen3281]

Agree on both counts. In Mad max I once underestimated a sandstorm by exiting the vehicle to collect scrap. I barely made it back to the car; the flying sheet metal was relentless.

I’m so happy you got Dragon’s Dogma on here. Super underrated and love going back into it to play it at any time. Aside from its monsters and painstaking travel time, the amount of customization you can put into your character in terms of your appearance as well as your combat class is absolutely astounding. It’s story isn’t going to be necessarily “new” but it’s still unique, packed with lore and throws you for loops both in great and hilarious ways.

[@blothsear7289]

Dragons dogma is amazing, one of my favorite games man. I want another DD so bad, I agree it has some of the best character creation in any game, like how you could make your character very short and if they were short they could fit in certain places.

I just finished Days Gone, what a good game. I remember the first time I ran into a horde and how baffling it was to me...I remember I thought "How the hell will I ever beat one of these, it has gotta be almost impossible"...then I beat one, two...three and so on and so forth...then I met the sawmill horde, and again I thought "There is no way I can beat this horde..."...then I did. That game has such an amazing "progression" system and the feeling of actually becoming stronger both in a digital sense AND real-life sense, as far as learning how to do things to increase your chances of survival is simply amazing. I really hope they make a sequel to this game, so good.

Yeah, that sawmill horde was insane! There are some good strategies to tackling it, though, but it's still nerve-wracking!

[@NTJedi]

Does Days Gone have something which will randomly generate new maps? This is critical because a fixed map means two or maybe three runs and it's game over. A fixed map is like having a great milkshake whereas a game with randomly generated new maps is like having the icecream store which makes the milkshakes. I'm all into games with endless replay value.

[@CriegHD]

For real. The first few hours in the game I went full stealth barely taking on the freaks, then eventually you learn more about them and get stronger and it makes the game much easier. It did take me a few try for the Sawmill horde. I think the one thing that makes you jump from scared of taking on freaks to full on taking them is when you unlock the melee perks. Those are game changers.

Outward is definitely worth a look. There are no levels it's all reliant on your gear, ability and choosing your battles. You can collapse from being to hot or to cold, depending on the area. And with the DLC there are 5 area maps to explore. Although land nav can be a pain if you are not good at reading maps, there is no map marker for the player so you have to rely on landmarks to find where you are. Didn't like it at first but am definitely glad I played it, it's now one of my favorites.

I was really expecting Ark

[@spinaxchin]

Honestly thought it would be easily number one. However kenshi definitely deserves to be there.

[@kahla010]

I would so much love to like ARK. I bought it on PS4 and the graphics made me puke. I tried to play along some youtube videos to get me started and it was so boring. What am I missing ?

[@d.w.saurus5831]

@@kahla010 even though ARK came out for consoles it's very much a PC game unfortunately. it also takes a lot of patience and determination it's defiantly more fun with friends. if grinding for resources and finding good animals to tame and breed and hunting down blue prints for good gear/saddles doesn't appeal to you then your not gonna have a good time lol

[@FalseOrbit]

Outward is awesome! Its one of my favorite co-op games to play with my wife. It also has splitscreen coop for people wondering

[@loyalfish2761]

Kenshi totally deserve that first place. You could also have talked about The Long Dark and Unreal World. The latter is an oldie but an absolute canon of the open world/survival genre.

[@benthefenn]

I know I might be a little late, but I personally think an honorable mention could've been Generation Zero. In Generation Zero, you're constantly roaming around a huge map while constantly watching out for robots, which can range from a couple to a large group of them per interaction, and they can also vary in size, from being as small as your feet to the size of a building. Some of the larger robots can also spawn smaller robots over and over again. As you roam around, you have no idea when or where they'll spawn, so you're always watching out for them. Just thought that I'd mention it.

[@benthefenn]

@Jurgen van GestelWhen was the last time you played the game?

[@benthefenn]

@Jurgen van Gestel Honestly throughout my time playing, I've only encountered a couple minor bugs, but noting too game breaking. Also the weapon dlcs are optional, and i choose not to buy them.

Dying light is still one of my all time favourite games..I’m playing through again as a side, side game lol..I seem to have 5 or 6 games on the go constantly but I just love gaming so I can’t help it! But AC Valhalla is my main focus atm.I’m 155hrs in. Great vid boys!👍👊

[@subhammishra7228]

@@pickford3152 dude, you're crazy, I remember playing HALO 2 in 2016 for the first time along with The Witcher 3, and I couldn't play Halo 2 for a while bcz I got so immersed in TW3, When I finished TW3 and got back into HALO 2, I just sucked at it, what's worse was that I was in the middle of 'gravemind' when I abandoned it. so now I mostly always play 1 game at a time. I can go 2 or 3 if the games are not that difficult.

[@kozak1079]

Jumping into GTAO is like going to a war zone but with mosquitoes that launches missiles xDDDD

[@couriervi8741]

I feel like Fallout 1 and 2 or Wasteland deserves an honourable mention. Late game you can dominate but early game encounters are LETHAL.

[@kooler999ify]

Yea fallout deserves a mention. Sometimes you are walking in the park and a giant monster pops up out of nowhere. It's crazy

[@jameswasko6856]

I'm so frickn glad that Kenshi, Dragons Dogma, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. made this list. Great survival games and truly unique and challenging in their own right. Great list man.

[@rooibosmilktea]

I remember running out of gas on Days Gone quite a bit aways from my base, I never stealthed my way around enemies like that again in my life

[@josephfriend7442]

Same. Ran out of gas at night right by a mass grave. I'm lookin for fuel, then freakers begin arriving... then more... and then more still. There I am, crouched in a bush, tryina figure a way out. See a couple freakers a bit by themselves. Decide to clear a path with a couple head shots... and I aim too low. I died horribly.

[@pratham6412]

I know it's not technically an open world but Destiny 2 has a fked up world. Planet destroying space monsters, planet eating insects and everything in between

[@Demongornot]

Horizon Zero Dawn, Ancestors the Humankind Odyssey, The Isle are 3 open world games I played that have dangerous worlds. And even though they aren't really "open world", I'd add any SCP games to the list, because you can't get more dangerous than that.

[@AbhiBass96]

HZD is scary...

[@Demongornot]

@@AbhiBass96 Not more than SCP games though xD

[@Chreeeeeeeeeeeeeis]

ARK needs a mention on this list. Even for a veteran player, starting from scratch in that game can take hours because all it takes is one group of tenacious raptors or a carno and all of your progress is gone and you have to move to a new location. And if you're new and don't know what to do, learning can take days

[@Ted_Bell]

Ark?

[@Chreeeeeeeeeeeeeis]

@Ted Bell it's a survival game where you build a base and can tame and ride dinosaurs, it's pretty buggy at times, but a ton of fun

[@mayfairofsouth7453]

Thanks for mentioning Outward! I was totally waiting for it. The game deserves much more attention.

[@fireant689]

The Forest gives me a lot of jump scares. Still sitting in my library unfinished. 😟

[@crg28]

You should finish it it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played

[@Peatingtune]

I don't remember The Forest's world being all that dangerous. Almost entirely empty besides occasional scouts and patrols unless you seriously piss off the cannibals, which can take some doing. I once built a base directly in their largest village and it took days for them to do anything about it. I'd say Elex deserves a place on this list. Enemies everywhere and almost all of them can kick your ass because of how long it takes your character to become even moderately powerful. You have to make progress through the game world almost at a snail's pace for a good long while.

[@irish9627]

I definitely agree with you about Elex, such a tough game

[@MinosML]

Wow, really good list, honestly! Perhaps the Gothic games/Elyx could've been included as well, those are quite tough haha Even so, really glad to see Outward and Dragon's Dogma recieving some love, both totally underrated games wich I hope get a sequel expanding on their already amazing starting points.

[@BNJT]

Just watched some Elex 2 gameplay, looks like they've learned from their mistakes

[@kalohaggard1729]

A lot of people slept on Days Gone, which is a shame because it was really good. Glad it made the list.

Zombies are played out.

[@byjfghgftf9359]

In dying light i used too be so scared of the volatiles at first then by the end I was seeking them out I was a solid volatile hunter

[@TXFDA]

How was Fallout 1 and 2 not on this list? You can leave the starting vault, head out, and immediately get destroyed by radscorpions. Which was actually my first experience playing Fallout 1. Or even New Vegas where you can head the wrong way out of the starting town and get insta-killed by big wasp things. Or take a wrong turn off the beaten path and get killed by deathclaws.

[@jakepaxton4662]

Haven't played Days Gone but it gives me anxiety. I'm not good at resource management, that's why BOTW is so frustrating to me. My instinct to go berserk on hordes leads usually to regret.

[@josephfriend7442]

Play it! It's tops

[@TheThirdWorldCitizen]

Most of the time you only waste resources clearing nests and fighting hordes, for most of the game you aren’t missing resources. Also you usually have decent money to replenish at the camps.

I played like 7 hours of it got murked by a chimaera or something and gave up. What sucks is i want to play it again but i lost my save file

[@toobig7150]

@@JuicyJenitals this the kind of game that, the more you play it the more powerful you get, theres no limits, you can literally Oneshot the hardest enemy of the game, or he can oneshot you. Its a bit like MG5, it dont leads you by the hand, you can steam roll or get steam rolled, or get things fairly fair and 50-50 If you feel that things get too much into you, try any of the ranger classes and make your Pawn a tank. Its unironically like dark souls, the start is rough, very rough.
