Open-world gaming

Open-world gaming refers to a genre where players can freely explore a large, immersive environment without strict linear progression. Unlike traditional games with fixed levels or paths, open-world games offer a vast, interconnected space filled with activities, quests, and discoveries at the player's own pace. This design encourages exploration, creativity, and a sense of freedom, allowing players to choose their journeys and interact with the game world dynamically. Popular examples include titles like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Grand Theft Auto," which provide rich, expansive environments for players to engage with in multiple ways.
