Looking for the Foursides, Goldenrods, whatever village or town or city you remembered from video games and that can be thoroughly explored and that are considered "big"

Kinda funny but I remember how vast Minniopolis seemed in The Urbz Sims in the City for GBA and DS and I saw a map this year that looked so tiny, amazing how big it felt at the time

Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas from GTA San Andreas. I loved to spend hours just exploring, looking for the secret items, and finding the funny little easter eggs and references.

The cities in Assassin's Creed. Can’t remember the names. Are they β€œbig”? They seemed to be at the time. I only ever played the first game in the series; again, I loved wandering around and exploring.

Yeah Florence was awesome. The little historical building notes around the city really added to the depth, like a virtual guided tour. That's the only AC game I've played properly though.

Been a while since I played them, but wasn't the original GTA3 one big city spread across 3 islands, or something?

I don't recall much in the way of countryside, but Vice City definitely added that in, and then San Andreas had a ton more

Correct. GTA3 had Liberty City which was spread over 3 islands. It was essentially New York so no real countryside but there was one part that was a bit greener.
