"Even weird indie games have clasped the explorable environment to their bosom. The Long Dark, Neo Scavenger, Rust, Factorio, No Man's Sky, Subnautica, even Euro Truck Simulator - all of these would have had a shout in our list, if we'd had room for more than 10." http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/10-best-open-world-games-on-pc-today-1320363
