Digital online game storefront Good Outdated Video games, aka GOG, is internet hosting a large gross sales occasion devoted to open-world video games. Or, effectively, largely open-world video games. It actually is determined by the way you outline what’s and isn’t an open-world recreation.
This week, GOG launched a giant ol’ gross sales occasion that includes some remarkably steep reductions on quite a lot of video games that it classifies as open world. The gross sales occasion runs till October 25 and options almost 400 PC video games, together with some huge hits like The Outer Worlds, Saints Row: The Third, Shadow of Mordor, Sleeping Canine, and Far Cry 2. All of those video games are solely accessible on PC and, like all different video games on GOG, don’t function any DRM. Which is nice! It is a good sale. And if all you care about is seeing an inventory of a few of the greatest and largest offers I noticed from the sale, scroll previous the following paragraph and test that record out. Take pleasure in it! Comfortable procuring.
Okay, the true sickos are nonetheless right here. Good. Scrolling by way of GOG’s record of open-world video games made me ponder what’s an open-world recreation. How do you outline it? Is Slime Rancher an open-world recreation, or only a recreation that options a big map you’ll be able to freely discover? Do open-world video games want facet quests? Actions to finish? I feel so, however maybe my definition is simply too strict? Or possibly attempting to categorize each piece of media into varied genres and subgenres is foolish, and I ought to cease fascinated with this a lot? In all probability that one.
