Sometimes, all you need from a game is a nice open world, with lots of activities and a sense of being an adventurous protagonist in a riveting story. Some games are designed with an adventure in mind, and they can take you through stunning vistas, dense magical forests, devilish lakes, mediaeval castles while telling an inclusive story. Not just that, these games offer rich open worlds, organic exploration, and good gameplay to keep things exciting and fresh. With vast worlds to explore, the player never knows just what they might run into – a high-level enemy or hidden treasure. Here are some of the best adventure games for the PS5.
