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).

For Spider-Man, I guess the easy answer would be Miles Morales, huh? :P

But I know what you meant, its a game with ridiculously fun mobility though its hard to find a good equivalent. There's few things that feel as good as webslinging. So on that front (Open world + Mobility) I'm going to suggest the Just Cause series. 2 is generally the one people are the most fond of, though I vastly preferred 3. 4 is a mix of both but it didn't gel well with me. You are not quite Spider-man, but a grappling hook and wingsuit go a long way of providing a similar experience.

For Genshin, the one game with open-world and exploration I've swapped around with it before is Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Large world, fair number of sidequests (I've actually never finished the game from how big it is) and a lot of climbing - with no stamina bars. The loot quality feeds the same endorphins as a good gacha roll, and its free.
