10 Modern Game Mechanics We Take for Granted

Open Worlds

Sure, there are some games that offer massive open worlds to explore, but none have ever been on the scale of what we see today. Not only do modern games offer huge sandboxes to explore, but many of them are painstakingly detailed to help immerse the player.

Worlds like the one in The Witcher 3 have different geographical regions, cultures, monsters, and unique traits making it feel like a real world you get to explore. Some of the older games offered big worlds to explore, but most of those game’s worlds were incredibly sparse. In contrast, every corner of open worlds feel painstakingly detailed, helping them immerse players into the setting and story.
