A "Game World" refers to the virtual environment in which a video game takes place. It includes all the landscapes, buildings, characters, and objects that players can interact with. Game worlds can vary widely, from realistic settings like New York City to fantastical realms filled with dragons and magic. These worlds are designed to immerse players in the game's story and mechanics. They often feature detailed graphics and sound effects to enhance the experience. Game worlds can be open, allowing players to explore freely, or structured, guiding players through specific missions or levels.
