For the last few years, I've been a big fan of open-world games, particularly the ability to mess around in a sandbox and explore a beautiful world without feeling forced down a particular route. Whilst I have a strong love of narrative, I admire the freedom that these titles give you, and I was willing to sacrifice a strong story for the ability to explore and find creative solutions to problems. I was fortunate enough to work closely with Avalanche Studios on Just Cause, one of the largest open-world games ever created (in terms of square kilometres), and it was a great experience.
