In Riders Republic, you can let off steam virtually in a vast open world on a bike, on skis, on a snowboard or in a wingsuit. The game brings together seven famous US national parks into a single, vast map. Developer:Ubisoft, Publisher:Ubisoft

In Steep, we find a snow-covered open-world sandbox modelled on the Alps and the mountains of Alaska. Here, you can let off steam with extreme sports such as skiing, snowboarding, paragliding and wingsuit flying. There is a photo mode, but like in racing games, it is linked to the replay mode.

As some of you may recall, on 26 April 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power station was the site of a nuclear disaster – the worst nuclear accident in the history of the nuclear industry up to that point. It was an ill-fated combination of technical and human error, negligence and corruption – the sort of thing that, in films, would be described as a poor script. As Igor, a physicist who once worked at this ‘nuclear kettle’, you return to the exclusion zone 30 years after the disaster, fighting for your survival, uncovering conspiracies and facing off against mutants and enemy troops. There is a photo mode; but you can also explore the area at your own pace without having to complete the storyline, simply to have a look around and find out more about the history. I think that’s brilliant. Developer:The Farm 51, Publisher:All in! Games SA

Once again, you find yourself in a post-apocalyptic world following a biological attack, navigating your way through Washington D.C. as a special agent. There, you’ll use plenty of gunfire to try and save what remains of society and recapture the capital from hostile factions. There’s very little dialogue here, but all the more looting and shooting to make up for it. There’s a photo mode linked to a drone, but unfortunately the range of movement is very limited.
