Gothic 2, despite releasing in the early 2000s remains unbeaten for me as the greatest open world RPG that exists. The first 2 Gothic games remain quite unique as having very distinguished open worlds, a tradition carried on to some degree in Risen and Elex, also by Piranha Bytes.

The key for me is that they're open worlds with a sense of progression, instead of mindless items to collect, at least in Gothic 2 you'll find permanent stat boosters if you search far and wide, it constantly remains challenging due to extremely smart enemy placement and it also contains one of if not the best city in RPG history.

I'm not signalling out Breath of the Wild as being a bad game, I just think that it represents the modern example of "go anywhere, do anything" with no consequence that most modern games including Assassin's Creed/Far Cry etc. are known for and I'd just love an open world game to look and learn from the Gothic formula to help them create a richer experience.

Anyway feel free to disagree, I know BotW is great to many and I'm in the minority there so let me know what you think!
