It intends to serve as a starting point for future academic works on the subject, which has not been very prolific until now, at the same time that it shows vocation to serve as a manual for the professional field, since it also intends to be useful for the design and development of video games.The theoretical foundation of this work is based both on academic theories published to date and on reflections and practical contributions by video game creators with experience in the industry. In the thesis, an analysis sheet for open world video games is proposed and applied to a selection of nine titles that fit the open world classification and try to represent the evolution of this kind of works. Finally, a definition of what an open world video game is and possible lines of future research based on this work are proposed.
