It has triple A-caliber graphics and gameplay that are on par with Nintendo’s popular Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In fact, it is the overall winner of the 2020 Google Play Awards and App Store Best of 2020. Genshin Impact deserves the top spot on the best open-world games list.

Open world games are more of an umbrella category than a specific one so those can fall under other genres such as role-playing games (RPGs), massively multiplayer online RPGs (MMORPGs), action, adventure, survival, puzzle, racing, gacha, and more. Consequently, a sandbox game with balanced creation and exploration aspects can also qualify as an open-world game. Note that despite these, open-world games can adopt sandbox elements and vice versa. The latter is more confined to creating a world, like Minecraft.

There are options to improve the graphics, mind, as there are community modpacks out there to pep up the visuals (such are the joys of PC gaming, of course). Particularly if you’re the type of gamer who can rely on their imagination more, and not be niggled by the appearance (and potential glitches here and there) of an older game. Of course, this is a game from two decades ago, so unsurprisingly, it looks dated – although the rest of the experience and atmosphere easily makes up for that. If you’re planning to jump right in with Mafia, one thing to bear in mind is to temper your expectations with the graphics.
