These games populate their open worlds with architecture, characters, quests, items and discoveries. As opposed to games that funnel your movement in a particular direction to create a directed experience, Open World games let you wander in any direction.

In this entry we are looking at Open World games. This is designed for people new to gaming, and aims to identify games with the least barriers.

It can even be gaining a sense of scale of the universe in a game like Everything. It can be the way different elements combine properties in games like Zelda Breath of the Wild. It can be the embodied understanding of gravity and momentum in real-time physics games like Portal. This can be the simple chemical puzzle-solving of a game like Sokobond. It's true not just about their game that unlocks the wonder of chemistry, but about many other games that often get children doing science without even realising it. That quote from the creators of Happy Atoms inspired this list of games. Knowledge of chemistry or other sciences is necessary to solve many real-world problems, but the way it's taught now often fails to capture students’ imaginations, discouraging experimentation and discovery." "Science is an incredibly important subject that many students never fully grasp.
Physics, Chemistry and Biology is something for the nerds, geeks and highly intelligent children at school and not for us or our children.
Science can be a subject that many of us see as something for other people.
