I was just about to suggest CP2077 but you already listed it.
Assassins Creed cities are very lively but extremely repetitive.
Skyrim is pretty lively in cities and open world unless you are just climbing mountains or spelunking.
GTA and RDR2 singleplayer and online always have something to do too.
BG 3 blows all of them out of the water. RE4 was perfect for a resident evil fan and the best remake I’ve ever seen but doesn’t hold up to the countless hours of perfection BG3 offers. Zelda is mostly fun to those who liked the first botw, whereas bg3 truly transcended its genre and tons of non DND/RPG players loved it. The rest are just a joke to even bother comparing for game of the year.
Hard to beat oot but wow takes the cake because there were 10 different original wide world intros.
Hahaha holy shit the emoji actually fits this perfectly.
