Farmers, Fighters & Space Explorers - The Wild Mix Of Modern Titles
Surprisingly, farming simulators qualify as small-scale open world wonders! If you build friendships with quirky NPC neighbors while growing massive potatoes... well hey maybe it IS an epic saga in tiny overalls form. Bonus points if one actually wondered "does potato go well in salad?" while cooking dinner after a 6-hour session.
