Being one of the most recognizable cities in the world, New York City has always been a popular destination for countless movies, TV series, and video games. However, not every game set in NYC has depicted the City That Never Sleeps equally, allowing for free navigation and exploration of the surroundings. Some of the most well-known games set in New York, like Max Payne, Crysis 2, or Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, while capturing the vibe and atmosphere of the Big Apple, offer linear missions with little to no freedom to enjoy the actual city and spend time in it.
