Please Give Me Some Alternatives to Genshin Impact and Spider-Man (PS4) on PC/Android

I realized that I like these two games a lot and their common feature is the open world side quest things.

When I play Spider-Man instead of teleporting to the main quest, I swing to the general direction and probably clear most of everything I encounter (Photography, Random Crimes, enemy hideouts, etc.) that I find myself spending most of my time doing the world quests rather than the main story quests.

Same thing with Genshin, I remember my first 10 or so hours of playing it was just looking for chests throughout the map, opening waypoints, looking for those anemoculus, etc.

Bad thing with Genshin though is that it has Gacha so I thought to look for Alternatives.

Yes, I could just continue playing Spider-Man instead but I don't normally have access to a PS4/PS5. (I can play on PC, but I'd rather just finish it on the ps4 instead of paying for it twice).

I guess in summary, please recommend games that has these amazing world quests (BOTW is another one, but I already plan to play that).

Perhaps not quite as quest driven, but if you like open world combat, check out the Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War games. Don't take the story too seriously, but they are a fantastic good time.

Enemies that see how to approach them, and if you are too same-y they'll adapt. Focus too much on stealth kills? Enemies have stealth pierceing guards. Tend to go direct melee combat? Big bruiser show up that force you to respect them and dodge. They are not perfect games, and they're a bit older these days, but nothing beats the hunter turn hunted experience of that first play through. I've beaten it years ago, but once in a while I just let my castle fall and go on an orc hunting spree to mastermind a take over once again.
