10 Open-World Games With A Better Story Than Ghost Of Tsushima
Contents
While Ghost of Tsushima’s story is impressive, it is far from the only open-world game to stress a deep and impactful narrative.

Sucker Punch Productions released what may have been the last great PlayStation 4 exclusive with Ghost of Tsushima, a samurai open-world epic detailing the protagonists struggles to repel a Mongolian invasion. While some open-world games focus on the destruction and mayhem, Ghost pays more attention to living in the world as a samurai and the narrative revolving around what one is willing to give up in order to save their home.
For those interested in narrative-focused open-world games, the following ten titles will scratch a similar itch and even surpass Ghost of Tsushima, though the gameplay in these is usually radically different.
10 Grand Theft Auto IV
While the more recent Grand Theft Auto V has an impressive story, Niko Bellic’s tragic tale searching for revenge and a better life in Liberty City came out of left field for a series known for dark comedy and over the top antics. While newer Rockstar Games have since surpassed it in graphics and gameplay, going through the character’s story will never grow tiring. The grit of Liberty City also adds a unique vibe absent from GTA V.
9 Death Stranding
Hideo Kojima rose to prominence with the Metal Gear franchise, noted for its stealth-action gameplay and massive overarching narrative. After the creator’s exodus from publisher Konami, he founded a new Kojima Productions and created Death Stranding. The bulk of the gameplay revolves around transporting packages to different areas, an idea which seems boring on paper but ultimately proves to be an addictive loop. While the story is polarizing, no one can say it isn’t original.
8 Batman: Arkham City
Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Asylum is not only a good superhero game, but a stellar title by any standard in the medium. Arkham City expanded the game by setting the action in a small open-world.
Despite the nw mechanics, the real draw of the sequel was the story further diving into the relationship between Batman and the Joker. Because of this, many still consider Arkham City superior to Arkham Knight.
7 Far Cry 3
The first two games in the series were a little rough around the edges for different reasons. Far Cry 3 finally nailed down the formula, something which would then influence many Ubisoft games for years afterwards. The villain, Vaas, is one of gaming’s most iconic villains, and the main character loses parts of himself in the journey to save his friends and stop the evil pirates. While future titles expanded upon the gameplay, Far Cry 3 remains a fan favorite.
6 Assassin’s Creed 2
The premiere entry in the franchise was a unique idea, but covered in jank. The sequel refined many aspects of the gameplay loop and increased the mission variety, ultimately saving the series and turning it into the juggernaut it is today. Ezio Auditore is perhaps the most celebrated protagonist of the franchise, and his story starts here as he seeks to bring those who killed his father and brothers to justice. Many favorably compare Ghost of Tsushima to this series, specifically this entry.
5 Horizon Zero Dawn
Guerrilla Games was known for the Killzone franchise before switching gears in 2017 to Horizon Zero Dawn, an open-world science fiction game set in the far future. Humans live a tribal lifestyle and machines roam the lands like wild animals. The main character, Aloy, quickly became an iconic character seen as integral to the Sony brand as Joel and Kratos. Her story is set to continue on the PlayStation 5 as Horizon Forbidden West comes out sometime in 2021.
4 Marvel’s Spider-Man
Insomniac Games has several celebrated original franchises under their belt, including Spyro the Dragon and Ratchet and Clank. In 2018 they took on the task of adapting Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4.
Not only does the gameplay succeed in making players feel like the iconic hero, but the narrative expertly captures the spirit of the friendly neighborhood webslinger. Seeing Peter Parker deal with personal problems is just as compelling as seeing him deal with thugs and super villains.
3 Red Dead Redemption 2
2010’s Red Dead Redemption still ranks as one of the best open-world games ever made, meaning Rockstar Games had some high expectation to live up to when crafting the prequel. Arthur Morgan’s journey manages to be just as tragic and entertaining. Players also get to see a younger, less responsible John Marston accept his responsibilities as a father and a husband, something he learns through the lessons taught by Morgan.
2 The Witcher 3
CD Projekt Red outdoes itself by two hundred percent with each game. While The Witcher 2 was an expansive RPG, The Witcher 3 boasts a breathtaking open-world and countless quests which play out in many different ways depending on the player’s choices as Geralt of Rivia. The studio is expected to one up itself yet again with the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, which is set to include an even deeper level of player choice and influence on the narrative.
1 The Phantom Pain
Despite its painfully unfinished story, what is there of The Phantom Pain manages to be an incredibly gripping and dark open-world game about the impacts global superpowers have over the third world, the loss of culture due to globalization, and the dangers of nuclear weapons. While it may not have fully connected the Metal Gear franchise’s past and present timelines, it still manages to expertly relay its themes to the player.
