What Is Your Favorite Video Game World?

From the stormy residence in Gone Home to the rugged European expanses of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, video game worlds have the powerful ability to give players the ability to escape into their virtual worlds. Some video game worlds are small, some are large (and some are HUGE), but each play a vital part in creating a cohesive and rich experience for players.

There are lots of great video game worlds but what if you were forced to choose your favorite – which would you choose?

These are the Grown Gaming team’s favorite video game worlds

Phantasy Star, without a doubt for me.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Single player or multiplayer?

[SegaGamer]

Multiplayer, the world feels more alive.

[EddieNX]

Phantasy star Online episodes 1 and 2. I can't stress how much I loved those games. Spent hundreds and hundreds hours playing on the Dreamcast, GameCube, Xbox OG and even PC on Blue burst.

Ragol is definitely one of my favorite game worlds after Hyrule.

[Geobros]

Breath of the Wild of course....

[Tankbusta40]

Yakuza

[Chris092]

Bloodborne for me since i really like the gothic design and how beautiful it is in a horrible way.

[FTLmaster]

Either Skyrim or Oblivion.

[FrostedFire]

Prey

[Jaypi03]

Super Mario World

[Dabbii]

Street Fighter V Arcade Edition.

[Fritzwochel]

Destiny 1, I just wished the areas were bigger.

[winter_hill]

[FanboysKiller]

Silent Hill.

[annoyedgamer]

The Witches and STALKER.

[FalconofLucis98]

Gaia (FF7 and FF9)
Spira (FF10)
Ivalice (FF12)
Windwaker world

[Bhuahahaha]

the netherworld (disgaea)
so cool to order around the prinny's and blow em up and the labor is so cheap AHAHHAHAHA

[ClosetRebel]

I still like Half Life 2's world. Stark, almost silent, foreboding.

[isarai]

The ICO universe (ICO, Shadow of the colossus, Last Guardian)

[The7Reaper]

Pokémon

[Chaos_Order]

The original Ratchet and Clank. So many different and varied planets that can be lush and inviting, (Pokitaru, Eudora) deadly and atmospheric, (Orxon) stunning and futuristic,(Kalebo III, Kerwan) or wild and scary (Oltanis, Umbris). I was pretty disappointed that numerous levels were cut for the PS4 remake.

[Vegamyster]

I keep coming back to Red Alert 2 every year or two, i hope it gets a remaster/remake one day.

[Dragonscale]

Bloodborne. Yharnham is fantastic.

[mkis007]

Fallout new vegas

[GameStallion]

This is so hard.

[ShellB]

Mad Max

[Iamnothuman12]

Bioshock

[GameStallion]

After thinking about it for a few days, this was so hard, but I’ve never seen a more realized version of a game world than the Witcher 3. It’s also very beautiful and very interactive with all of the 100’s of random NPCs and houses you can enter. I love that game so much.
