As games like Stalker 2 and Far Cry 6 prove, the FPS and an open world can be a match made in heaven. You may lose out on tightly-designed, bespoke encounters, but you can gain a tense unpredictability, the sense of systems converging on each other to horrifying and thrilling effect. The newly released Project Silverfish looks to be an example of just how exciting an open world FPS can be and you can try it right now.
