Most Difficult Open World Games of 2022

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Given the nature of open-world gaming, a lot of the games on this list are going to feature an inverted difficulty curve.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Unlike its predecessor, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's opening few hours are nowhere near brutal.

Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the most influential open-world games on PlayStation.

Monster Hunter World

The Monster Hunter series is considered by many to be one of the most challenging series.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is easily one of the most realistic games on the list. Its focus on the medieval period is certainly worthy of attention.

Kenshi

Kenshi is easily the most unique entry on this list and may not be to everyone's taste.

Dying Light

Dying Light is easily Techland's magnum opus and one of its most popular video games of all time. Whereas the main story and its characters cannot be anything remarkable.

Stalker: Call Of Pripyat

The Stalker series is known for featuring some incredibly difficult combat and an open world with no prisoners.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Capcom is no stranger when it comes to making games with great combat systems, and Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen certainly falls into this category.
