Red Dead Redemption 2 — but where there is no overarching story but you create your own character, and can go off and do what you like, affecting the world.

E.g. you are the newly elected president of Afghanistan/North Korea/Iraq/Other etc - now go rebuild infrastructure etc, set policies, see how the country develops as a result. E.g. do you invest in universal healthcare, or transport infrastructure? Is transport infra required while your country is still largely subsistence farming?. What about education - save money th…
