Preview: Top 5 Book Worlds I Want to Explore in a Video Game

Books and video games are two very different mediums, but they both share two elements: worlds. While books introduced us to places unlike our own, video games allowed us to experience them in a way like never before by putting us in the driver's seat of where we go and what we see. And today, I'll be ranking the top five book worlds I want to experience or explore in a video game.

A few rules before we start: first, only worlds of books I've read. And second, no fictional worlds that, to my knowledge, can be explored in existing games. Therefore, you won't find Middle-Earth on this list, as it's got at least a few games such as Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and LEGO The Lord of the Rings, as well as the fact that I haven't read any of Tolkien's books.

(SOON...but not yet.)

Also, I want to stay away from graphic novels in this ranking, as they're a more visual medium. Books that started as novels and later got graphic novel adaptations still qualify, though.

And lastly, all of this is my opinion, so feel free to disagree!

#5: The Island (From The Wild Robot by Peter Brown): The island where the main character, Roz, activates and makes her home, filled with various creatures to befriend.

When I was first reading this book, I pictured it as a visual novel with a narrator. But I actually think it would be better as an open-world survival game where the player controls a different robot and has to shelter themselves and befriend the animals to make sure they and everyone survives the winter. The game could even include options to adopt certain animals like how Roz adopts Brightbill.

#4: ??? (From ??? by Lemony Snicket)

#3: ??? (From ??? by George Orwell)
