Best Square Enix Video Games for exploration quality

#1

Orsterra rewards wandering with high-level areas, recruits, NPC interactions, optional islands, treasure, and side content. Reviewers often found exploration easy to get absorbed in.

#2

Exploration is broadly praised for rewarding curiosity with sights, activities, and regional depth, especially when the world design feels handcrafted rather than checklist-driven.

#3

Dungeon delving becomes highly rewarding when good items, positioning, and risk management come together into a successful run.

#4

Exploration was generally praised for rewarding secrets, treasure, and open-ended discovery, though one underwater segment was called slow and awkward.

#5

Exploring the diorama worlds can be delightful, especially when hunting treasures and Mini Medals. Heavy guidance and a more compressed world can reduce the satisfaction of discovering things unaided.

#6

The city rewards wandering and discovery, though its linear structure and limited interaction disappoint open-world-minded players.

#7

Optional clues and dense interactables can reward careful investigation, but condensed or reused spaces limit discovery and leave some areas feeling stale.
