I love Indie game but I want to hear people opinion about their top AAA games. For me (from the newest to oldest) it is Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher III, Skyrim. Openworld RPG are sure my favorites!
The Witcher is a masterpiece, I also love Dragon Age and Mass Effect, these 2 are not really openworld but beautiful nonetheless and Bioware is amazing at storytelling.
Open world is overrated. It’s usually filled with bland filler content so that the publisher can claim longer playtimes.
Bethesda games do it right, Ubisoft is the worst with it.
Probably Elden Ring. I don’t like many AAA games, so that wins by default. I am a big fan of Armored Core though, and the upcoming sequel is definitely in AAA territory. I’ll probably change my answer after I get a chance to play it.
The Mass Effect trilogy
Red Dead Redemption 2 actually uses it’s AAA budget to fill out an open world with stuff
Witcher 3 was great, kept me so busy. The Uncharted series are some of my favorites, and the Horizon series are too. The set pieces in Uncharted blew me away, and I really liked the world they built in the Horizon games. The Metal Gear series has always been special to me, since it’s always been there as I’ve gotten older.
Depends. If we are talking from forever. Crash bandicoot trilogy, mass effect trilogy, uncharted series, Witcher 3, ratchet and clank and Jak and daxter trilogies, borderlands 2, mirrors edge. There are too many games that have been amazing

If I’m feeling shooty, borderlands 3 or halo infinite on PC (my nostalgia for the franchises are too strong). I used to like GTA5 way back when, until it became purely a pay to win grind.
If I’m feeling like a story, I keep going back to skyrim after all these years. Also Last of Us, Spider-man, and the Jedi Outcast series.
If I’m feeling like some brain dead fun, I HIGHLY recommend a lesser appreciated gem: Orcs Must Die 3
If im feeling like spicy gaming, I have a highly modified version of skyrim for that too :)
Mass Effect series for me. Great story where choices matter. And the characters are just so wonderful, ending the game felt like saying goodbye to friends.
I sadly don’t have the time nor energy to play open world games anymore so I like games with pretty linear narrative and progression but great story, like Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Bioshock.
