Some open world games depict places in real life. It's much more convenient than creating fictional settings because no one can call them “inaccurate”. Players love being able to move around in real-life settings.
Here are games with Metacritic score no less than 70 or is above or no less than 7.0 on MobyGames if unavailable on Metacritic, except games that don't feature gameplays. It is allowed to have some fictional settings.
