5) Just Cause 4: Reloaded
Gamers who like to blow things up and enjoy mindless action in GTA games should give Just Cause 4: Reloaded a try. Although the previous entries in the series were good, the fourth edition has better action and destruction.
Fans who have played the previous games will feel the lack of a deep story and logic behind some of the protagonist's actions. However, these will be overshadowed by the amount of destruction that can be caused in the game,
6) LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
Not many people think of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes as something that adults would enjoy. But it is a hidden gem and a surprise for anyone who underestimated this open-world game. It has Batman and almost the same vibes as the Arkham Knight series, but the comedic fillers are what makes Lego Batman 2 simply impeccable.
Although it has a short campaign, the main fun lies in the open-world exploration that reveals a lot of things about the game's world. So, assemble your team of superheroes and fight crime in Gotham!
7) Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Crime is an integral part of the GTA series. In fact, almost all games have some instance of it. While most of them ask us to commit crimes, only a few view the MC from the other side. One such game is Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The main story leads you elsewhere, but you come across multiple crimes while swinging across the map, which can be interacted with as per your wish.
Swinging across New York City as Miles is quite fun as the players get to explore the map and fight criminals trying to disturb peace. Although it has a relatively shorter campaign, the open-world aspect more than makes up for it.
These are some open-world games that Grand Theft Auto fans can enjoy before Rockstar eventually reveals the GTA 6 release date.
