Open world games for mid-range PCs

There is a stereotype that in order to comfortably play open-world games, you need to have a state-of-the-art computer. In fact, for most cases the average will suffice.

The fact is that the first openworld games came out quite a long time ago, so everyone can choose projects for their hardware.
