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).

I found Saints Row 4 a fun super hero video game and the powers of super speed and flight made traveling fun over conventional means. The side quests were something I enjoyed too.

SR3 and SR4 were both great. I think SR3 only had the super power stuff from a dlc though? They both have some unique quests that I really enjoyed.

SR2 was the peak. Everything after that felt like a lazy copy paste exercise.

Sr3 was the Skyrim to Sr2's Morrowind. Shinier but simplified. A good entry game to get to Sr2 imo.

(Personally I wasnt a fan of Sr4 because it felt like it was just a really expensive dlc. Didn't really add anything to Sr3 imo, but since there is evidence of people liking it here, I'm not going to come after it too hard. It might be a great entry title for getting to Sr3 to get to Sr2 eventually, and imo that's good enough for me to be happy about it getting mentioned)

Yeah, Saint Row 3 had the super powers only in the DLC. That is my favorite Saints Row. Although I've only played 3 and 4. The Genki side missions were my favorite in 3.
