Pillars of Eternity Deadfire :D
You're lucky if the game has reasonable climate progression like this. Most games the frozen zone is right next to forest zone which is right next to the volcano zone.
Wouldn't it be kind of boring if it was just like the great plains for 40 miles with maybe a singular river on the far side?
Not enough caves.
People "this game is so unrealistic, there's no way these biomes would be this close and distinct"
Also people "flying through space for weeks to visit a baren rock is so bullshit and biting"
Yes, and I love them for it. ^^
Wait, no tributaries? Unplayable!
Lol in Witcher 3.
I never completed that one but had explored most of the mainland. I really need to go back and go through it all again. I loved the small details throughout the world. The wilderness and countryside was so well done, with little shrines along the roads here and there and so many lived-in places throughout. I spent 75% of my playtime with Roach set to a slow trot just so I could really absorb the world and feel like I was making a journey on those old roads. There's something so profoundly Witcher about quietly riding dark paths at night and stopping to hear a monster in the woods. You climb off Roach and draw your silver sword, then make your way into that decrepit forest to deal with whatever is going on out there.
Witcher 3 was one of the few games I 100% and didnt use fast travel... the journey was half the game.
Far Cry to some extent.
Meanwhile, in Star Wars:
"This is Snow World. It's all snow there. That is Wet World. The whole planet is wet. Over there is Sand World. Nothing but sand everywhere."
Behold Coruscant! The entire planet ... is a city!
I mean, that is just a sci-fi concept. Ecumenopolis.
Behold Umate
Coruscant's tallest mountain and the only place where the planet's surface is still visible.
That's some trivia I did not previously know, thank umate
You should watch Andor. It's an actual good star wars show. Probably because it is mostly an original story in the star wars universe.
I did not expect an absolutely savage takedown of capitalism in the middle of my Rogue One prequel. 10/10, would unionize my workplace.
Name one open-world game from the past 5 years whose map looks like this. Seriously. I'd like to play it.
Monster Hunter Rise, although it's not exactly open world
Minecraft with this intensity would be fun to try.
Satisfactory. Alien planet version.
Satisfactory does it really well. You've got all those biomes (except ice?) but some areas are really three dimension or twisted up. Exploring in Satisfactory 1.0 is a real highlight in what is otherwise a very chill sanbox building game.

I mean, yeah, but this is like showing a picture of the alphabet and saying "this is spot on for so many books."
This is how playing Pokemon Scarlett feels
Rippin off Grundo!
Zelda did that in the 80s
Honestly I'd love is someone made exactly that map to play around in in a sandbox game
I don’t understand why the post is supposed to be funny or critical
It's critical because world invention is not inventive or imaginary. It's always only a gross misrepresentation of the northern hemisphere on Earth.
It's funny that a desire for biome diversity has led in a small way to a kind of sameyness. Not so much a criticism as an amusing little irony.
If a game is supposed to take after earth then ofc its gonna look like earth. I don't really see the point here. The last couple open world game I have played are cyberpunk and satisfactory so I definitely don't see the point here.
I mean, what else do you want?
Can't name anything!
Layout is like 1 for 1 almost with Super Mario World
OP is in trouble!
Eh, except so many double-down (or triple) on the swamps and caves while omitting more interesting settings like glaciers, oases, rainforests, and river deltas.
I hate the whole top right section. Those are usually the boring filler zones.
