Fallout: New Vegas
New Vegas hands a courier with a bullet in the head a desert split between the NCR, Caesar's Legion and a man running the strip from a tower, and lets you decide which one ends up owning it.
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V puts three criminals in Los Santos and lets you switch between them mid-mission: a retired robber, a repo man and a pilot who talks too much. The same city is the setting of GTA Online, which has been running as its own game for over a decade.
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 puts Gordon Freeman in City 17 with a gravity gun and no cutscenes: every scene is staged while you are still holding the camera. Physics is not decoration — it is a tool and a weapon.
Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 2 sends four survivors across the American South while an AI director decides when to send a horde and where to leave supplies, so no two runs of a map play out the same.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a 2005 racing game that mixes street racing with police pursuits in the open city of Rockport, structured around climbing a ranked Blacklist of rivals. It was developed by EA Black Box with support from EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts across home consoles, handhelds and an early Xbox 360 release.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Skyrim sends a prisoner with a dragon's voice across a province of nine holds where nothing is gated: you can walk to the far side of the map at level one. Factions, dungeons and houses are all waiting in any order you like.
