If you want 40h+ open world story-rich games, here's what we'd play tonight.
Crimson Desert's vast open world and rewarding hidden treasures earn it the top spot for 40h+ story-rich adventures.
Despite a bare-minimum PC port, FF7 Rebirth's 100-hour follow-up to Remake holds its own — Queen's Blood alone could eat 20 hours.
Best-in-class single-player DLC if you finished base Elden Ring — Land of Shadow rivals a full game, and patch 1.14 tamed Consort Radahn's combos.
Finally fixed since launch — patches 1.5 through 1.8 restored A-Life and tamed the worst stutters that wrecked the November 2024 reception.
Holds up in solo or co-op despite the 99% playerbase crash from 2M peak to 25k — Pokémon-with-guns hook earns its $30.
If KCD1 grabbed you with its bullheaded commitment to 15th-century realism, KCD2 is more of that — bigger map, sharper combat, same refusal to hold your hand.
