As there are many different video game genres today that will provide you with an immersive experience on the go over a great period of time, while looking gorgeous as open-world games we have decided to create a list of our top five choices to make them easier to find.
Black Desert Mobile
When it comes to traditional open-world games, nothing can beat a good old-fashioned MMORPG, and Black Desert Mobile is one of the best MMORPG when it comes to mobile platforms. Set in a world of fantasy filled with monsters, elves, and other mythical creatures, Black Desert Mobile allows players to create a unique character from five different classes, each with its own unique skill sets and abilities as they set out on an epic adventure in this immersive open world. Every character is fully customizable and after the player creates their perfect character, they can explore the world, complete quests, fight bosses with other adventurers, and participate in various world events.
Black Desert Mobile also features a fast-paced combat system but if you prefer a peaceful approach, you can create your own camp, which you can upgrade and do things such as fishing and taming the land. Alternatively, you can collect pets and horses if you prefer animal companionship. With all of this combined with the regular content updates, the possibilities are endless.
Second Galaxy
Contrary to our previous entry, Second Galaxy is rooted in science fiction and as such, it offers players a chance to explore the furthest unknown corners of space and that is what sets it apart from most other open-world titles. The game itself lets players design and upgrade their own spacecraft, travel through wormholes, fight other players and factions to gain precious rare resources, and battle with up to a thousand other players in massive wars across various unique planets.
Another thing that singles out Second Galaxy from the bunch is the fact that it has a global real-time economy and many other random events that contributes to making the world of the game feel alive and realistic. This also means that every single decision that each player makes affects the world itself and the other players in it. Overall, Second Galaxy is a good-looking game that offers a decent, fun, sci-fi open-world experience that offers something for everyone, whether you want to gather resources, battle other players, or just explore the vastness of space.
Tempest: Pirate Action RPG
Our third pick on the list takes us out to sea, with a popular video game titled Tempest: Pirate Action RPG and it offers a truly breathtaking open-world experience with a plethora of things for players to do. Those who are brave enough to set out to sea in this game can experience sailing in real-time and exploring three different regions and dozens of smaller islands on which they will come across numerous quests which they can choose to complete and if doing quests is not your cup of tea, then you can travel the oceans and trade different goods in order to make a profit. If you are brave enough, you can seek and battle mythical sea creatures such as the mighty Kraken and the all powerful Leviathan.
If you yearn to battle other ships and fight other player crews, no problem! Tempest: Pirate Action RPG has got your bloodlust covered on that aspect as well. With all the treasure that you manage to plunder and get your hands on, you can purchase, upgrade, and decorate your ships. Everything on your ship is fully customizable, so you can paint and change things however you desire. Overall, this game is definitely a unique gem in the open-world genre of games, that offers a variety of things to do at all times for various different playstyles.

Minecraft
