Horizon Forbidden West and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both stellar games, and their approaches to the open-world format are markedly different.

There are a few games that stand as examples of near-flawless open-world design. This includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild which is praised for the ways the game rewards exploration and how the world naturally reacts to the player's actions. Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 is also frequently mentioned thanks to its picturesque landscapes and its painstaking attention to detail. Although the game was released in 2018, there has yet to be an open-world that provides an experience as immersive and with as many unique interactions as the Western world of Red Dead Redemption 2, and to this day, players are still finding odd Easter eggs and tidbits within the game's deep lore.
