Do you like to play video games? While most of us don’t think about it often, the fantastic, life-like graphics in many video games create virtual worlds that allow us to “travel” to faraway locations without leaving the comfort of our own homes.

If you’re looking to escape and see the world on your television screen, these video games are perfect for you.

Assassin’s Creed

This action-adventure video game franchise was founded in 2007 and has come out with a whole series of games since then located in different places around the world. The newest edition takes place in 9th century Great Britain, while there are also editions taking place in Russia, India, China, and in a wide variety of other places.

Red Dead Redemption

The American West is a place that has lived for a long time in the fantasies of many a traveler around the world, and Red Dead Redemption is a great game that will temporarily transport you there. You can freely roam throughout this desert-like, arid territory seeing landscapes and towns as you complete quests.

Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is one of the best-known video game franchises in the world, having sold millions of copies since the first edition of the game came out in 1996. The most recent addition to the franchise, “Shadow of the Tomb Raider,” takes you to Latin America as you attempt to complete objectives with female superhero Lara Croft.
