However, there are some open-world games created by Ubisoft that players are still enjoying not because of their story but instead due to what players can get up to while exploring the open world provided by the various teams within Ubisoft.

8 The Crew 2

Take Part In Races Anywhere

Starting strong, The Crew 2 and the rest of its franchise is a racing game like no other. Players are free to explore the open world when they aren't competing in various races. The Crew 2's open world is filled with plenty of interesting places to uncover, with the player being able to find their own favorite routes to drive along.

Besides the usual cars, The Crew 2 also allows players to explore the world with various other vehicles, from not only motorbikes but also boats to sail across the waters and planes to take to the skies of this scaled-down version of the United States.

7 Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora

Collect Resources, Hunt, Or Fly Freely

Besides the original franchises Ubisoft has created, they have also been open to creating worlds based on popular movie franchises, such as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora through their partnered company Massive Entertainment. Being able to explore the world of Pandora is filled with wonder from the glowing forests to expanding upon the Avatar world through encountering other diverse clans of the Na'vi.

Players are encouraged to search for a variety of resources across the open world and hunt creates to upgrade their gear, while the world itself is ripe for any player that wishes to fly around on the back of their Ikran appreciating the views.

6 Far Cry 4

Plenty Of Side Content Within The Open World

Far Cry is another Ubisoft franchise that has continued to grow its player base over the years. However, out of the entire franchise, the one game that has by far the best open world for players to experience is Far Cry 4, a game set in the fictional country of Kyrat, based in the Himalayas region.

Naturally, this diverse environment has plenty for players to do rather than simply ride along on the backs of elephants while destroying outposts, or climbing various towers to unlock more of the map. Players can also get involved in plenty of other content, such as hunting legendary creatures or searching for propaganda to tear down.

5 Tom Clancy's The Division 2

Rewarding Side Content And PvP Activities

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 has a variety of content for players to explore within the open world that encourages players to complete it due to the worthwhile rewards that players can earn from successfully finishing the tasks available. Besides the main missions of The Division 2, players can also get involved in various side missions by NPCs as well as, plenty of skirmish content.

This includes adventuring into 'The Dark Zones', which includes PvE and PvP content as players clear an area and possibly get attacked by others that wish to steal their loot. This makes The Division 2 feel like quite a lively open-world experience as players will commonly encounter others as they explore.

4 Steep

Join Activities Or Find Thrills Elsewhere

Ubisoft's variety of games in different genres has also led to open-world experiences, such as the winter extreme sports title Steep. This game is more than snowboard races or players showing off their tricks on skis, as players are able to freely explore the slopes of Steep.

Players can not only get involved in the established activities of Steep but also freely explore the world with friends to find their own interesting places to test out their skills. Having this freedom for the player to find their own thrills can leave many players having countless hours of extreme sports, no matter how many times a player falls off their board or crashes into a mountain.

3 Watch Dogs 2

It Feels Like A Living City

Watch Dogs 2 allows players to freely explore the open world of a technologically advanced city. This means that many of the mini-games around this bustling world that feel incredibly alive are technology-based while also being incredibly entertaining. Some of these mini-activities include various races, from racing drones to eKarts, to even racing sailboats.

Watch Dogs 2 also has a variety of side operations for players to get involved with that encourage the player to explore the city. ScoutX is another activity that relies on the open world as it encourages the player to look for specific things and take photos there, which is a nice change from the usual collectibles.

2 Immortals Fenyx Rising

A World Of Mythological Wonder

Made by the team behind Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, it's no surprise that Immortals Fenyx Rising is another interesting open-world adventure for players to get lost in. Players are encouraged to make their own map and progress within Immortals Fenyx Rising, as they are free to go almost anywhere while unlocking various upgrades for themselves to access things they couldn't before.

The open world of this action-adventure title is also filled with a variety of puzzles that the player will need to remember for themselves, as many of these activities aren't marked for the player. Not to mention that the player also has a set of wings and the ability to tame specific creatures that they can happily ride around the world.

1 Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag

Become A Pirate Instead Of Just An Assassin

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise is by far one of the most popular games created by them over the years. Many classics of the franchise have been praised for the various activities available to the player in the open world. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is one of the best for those who are looking for a Ubisoft title with an incredibly engaging open world, as players are left to sail across the seas taking part in not only nautical combat but much more.

Players have plenty of side content to enjoy in Black Flag, from shark hunting to searching for buried treasure, meaning many players are likely to forget to even finish the main story of this incredible open-world game.
