Favorite game world

In your opinion, what is the greatest setting you've ever witnessed in a video game? Personally, The Zone from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is the greatest gaming environment ever.

fallout tactics

Termina from Majora's Mask. The repeating 3 days mechanic gives every character a routine, every place a unique feel since different things happen on different days. It's one of the only (if not the only) game worlds I can truly say feels alive. Plus the sense of dread and sadness is strong but subtle.

A few actually..

Fallout 3 Wasteland

Bioshock 1 Rapture

Mass effect 2 Space

Standouts for me:

-Ravenholm from Half-Life 2

-Rapture from Bioshock

-Various locations from Mass Effect (especially Citadel, Illium & Palaven)

-Columbia from Bioshock Infinite

Britannia from Ultima series

I loved the world of FFVIII and FFX. Those worlds were great. Also Dragon Quest VIII just had an awesome charming world.

I've always found Bethesda RPGs to have great immersive worlds also.

I think overall, my favorite video game world would have to be the universe that was created in the Mass Effect games.

I've always been fascinated by the post apocalyptic genre, TLoU does it well. That would be my number 1. Cold War era Soviet Union from MGS: Snake Eater/Subsistence at #2.

FFVIII

FFIX

FFX

FFXII

AC4

• Dunwall
• Tamriel
• Rook Islands

KOTOR's Tatooine is one. Blew me away.

Nar Shadar in KOTOR 2.

Dxun was excellent as well (also KOTOR 2)

Korriban in KOTOR 2 and to an extent the one in KOTOR were excellent as well.

Flotsam from the Witcher 2 is great.

Columbia from Bioshock Infinite is nice enough.

Sadly, though most game worlds/locale's aren't rich enough, evocative enough or interactive enough for me to fall in love with (hence why most of my list is from the Knights of the Old Republic games).

GTA V world

Tomb Raider definitive edition -Island

Dead Rising 3 - World

TLoU has one of the most beautifully realized worlds I think I've ever seen in any game before. It just felt so lived in and authentic even though it was abandoned.

Mass Effect universe

Tamriel

Skryim

Far Cry 3

AC II

RDR

This an Spira from FFX

The Pokémon World

Final Fantasy VII and Shenmue are the games that had me most immersed in their worlds.

I will give you my top 3 off the top of my head.

1. Vvardenfell in Morrowind

Even to this day, the gameworld just feels huge. It has a lot of varied terrain and cultures spread across the game world, and it was groundbreaking for its time. Also, its greatness can be enhanced with mods on the PC.

2. Rapture in Bioshock

I think Rapture is one of the most interesting game worlds ever created.

3. Click Clock Wood in Banjo Kazooie.

I loved how the level and its challenges changed as the seasons changed.

I personally love every world in Kingdom hearts 1+2. I don't know why, but in my opinion they all are so well designed.

And it's a weird one, but I love the world in Contrast for some reason. It gives me weird wibes that I don't quite know how to explain.

Los Santos in GTA V

Skyrim

New Vegas

The Great Sea in Zelda: Windwaker

Mass Effect series

GTA V

Chrono Trigger

Earthbound (loving this title so much)

I'd have to say

Chrono Cross

PS4 Golden

Skyrim

Mass Effect series

TLOU

LoZ series

FF6

All of those had amazing game worlds.
