Have you ever wanted to scale the Eiffel Tower but remembered you’re afraid of scaling? Dreamed of navigating the neon-lit streets of Tokyo but found your wallet woefully wanting? Fear not, the world is at your WASD fingertips, and the only passport you need is your trusty gaming rig.
Welcome to the era of Gaming Globetrotters, where the only thing more expansive than the open worlds are the pizza boxes accumulating beside your gaming desk. Let’s embark on a whirlwind tour of video games that let you trot the globe without the hassle of lost luggage, sweaty cabbies or the awkwardness of wearing a beret.
Assassin's Creed Series: A Leap of Faith into History
First stop: The Assassin’s Creed series. These guys have taken us from the dusty streets of Jerusalem to the heart of the American Revolution, with pit stops in Renaissance Italy, Ancient Egypt, and even the Peloponnesian War in Greece. It’s like a history lesson, but you get to stab things. Educational and therapeutic!
Uncharted Series: More Treasure Than Your Grandma's Attic
Next, we swing over to the Uncharted series. Nathan Drake has clambered, shot, and quipped his way through jungles, deserts, and lost cities that would make Indiana Jones green with envy. It’s like going on a treasure hunt, except the ancient artifact you uncover is the realization that you should probably call your grandma more often.
The Witcher 3: For When You Want Your Scenery With a Side of Gloom
For those whose taste in travel includes a chance of being devoured by mythical beasts, The Witcher 3’s got you covered. Trot through the war-torn landscapes of Velen, the picturesque streets of Novigrad, and the Skellige Isles, which are basically what you’d get if Scotland and Vikings had a baby. It’s the perfect getaway for those who like their vacations with a touch of existential dread.
Final Fantasy XV: Road Trip! But With Magic and Angst.
And who could forget the bro-tastic road trip of Final Fantasy XV? Cruise the highways of Eos in your magical convertible, stopping only for photos, camping, and the occasional bout of world-saving. It’s like a family road trip, but with less "Are we there yet?" and more "How do I reconcile my duty to the throne with my personal desires?"
Death Stranding: Delivering Packages Has Never Been So... Existential
Lastly, for those who find Zen in the art of parcel delivery, Death Stranding offers a post-apocalyptic America to trudge across, one painstaking step at a time. It’s basically a hiking simulator with a chance of ghost attacks, proving once and for all that even in video games, the courier always rings twice.
So, there you have it, my gaming globetrotters. The world is yours to explore, no packing required. Just remember, while it's thrilling to scale virtual mountains and uncover digital relics, occasionally venturing outside for some good old-fashioned Vitamin D isn't such a bad idea. After all, the greatest adventure might just be at your doorstep. Or at the very least, in your backyard. Game on, world wanderers!
