I believe *Ghost of Tsushima* boasts the most impressive open-world design. Its stunning landscapes, seamless exploration, and detailed environments create an immersive experience. The attention to cultural authenticity and dynamic weather further enhance the player's journey through feudal Japan. It's breathtaking!

Ghost of Tsushima's open world stands out because it respects the player's intelligence. The guiding wind mechanic elegantly replaces intrusive waypoints, while the visual design ensures you're naturally drawn to interesting locations. It's an open world that trusts you to explore without constant handholding.
