An excellent Open-World game without a main quest

SUMMARY

• Many open world games have large quests in the driving game, while others offer complete freedom without a specific goal.

• DayZ and 7 Days to Die offer a zombie survival experience with realistic levels and tension.

• Games like Palworld, ARK, and Rust provide unique experiences in open worlds filled with animals, dinosaurs, and survival challenges.

Many free games, even if the mysteries to be solved are vast, also have a main quest or goal to complete that leads you in a certain direction. Skyrim has you fighting dragons, Grand Theft Auto has you committing crimes, and Red Dead Redemption has you dying of tuberculosis.

While other outdoor games may have a plot twist or a story to discover, there is no main quest or specific objective to drive you forward; you are allowed to do whatever you want with pure freedom.

Minecraft

Minecraft is arguably one of the greatest open-world sandboxes of all time. Originally created by a man and released in beta in 2010, this game has captured the hearts of all ages and continues to provide new and exciting updates to its core players.

With Minecraft, you emerge into a world of randomness, where the world is your oyster. Although there is a path of objectives that you can follow to win the game, these objectives are never presented to you in any kind of diary or diary quest, and you can do whatever you want.

You can go mining to make weapons and armor and hunt monsters, cut down forests to build your dream house, or just take a boat out on the water and go fishing. Minecraft is truly an endless game and the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
