This week Colin, Lucas, and Neal take a look at one of the most popular genres in modern gaming, Open World games. First rising to popularity throughout the 2000's thanks to games like Grand Theft Auto and The Elder Scrolls, Open World games are characterized by their massive sprawling maps with mostly, if not entirely seamless exploration throughout. These games often lean heavily on player freedom above anything else and can offer many different solutions to the challenges they present. Gameplay in Open World games can vary widely from the survival crafting focus of the mega-hit Minecraft, to super hero action games like 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, or to full on action RPG's like the modern Assassin's Creed series.

*Fair warning we're a bit more critical in this episode compared to our last Genre Talk, but we still had a pretty good discussion nonetheless!
