Open-world Gameplay Isn't Just About Scale
I remember trying out Guild Wars 2 back in 2022 after being hooked on the lore-heavy world of World Of Warcraft but wanting something fresh. What amazed me was not how huge the world map felt, or even how varied the landscapes can go but rather how deeply interconnected the events feel.
- Narrative isn’t forced on players through cutscenes.
- Lore unfolds gradually as part of dynamic events in zones, encouraging exploration.
- No grinding involved since XP comes naturally during movement between points.
To be honest sometimes we over-value how large the game feels instead focussing on making every step meaningful, Guild Wars nails that.

So far nothing compares to The #New-World gameplay loops which allowed me once — as an UAE base player — to experience snow-capped mountain missions while sitting under the blazing desert sky myself.
It creates emotional contrasts unlike many other experiences around so maybe it’s worth trying out even if you normally skip subscription models like WoW.
