Red Dead Redemption 2 is an amazing one.

And GTA 5 as well if you don't mind the over the top antics that the series is known for.

Try Gothic I and Gothic II - Night of the Raven, made by Pyranha Bytes. They are available on Steam. Those games offer the most immersion I ever got out of an open world RPG game. The story is simply beautiful.

I feel like the Fallout and elder scrolls games is what you you’re looking for, those series are the only ones that make you feel like another life in a video game.

Ghost of Tsushima is very good. Cyberpunk has good story and interesting side quests narrative. Immortal Fynix Rising is more casual but also good.

As someone finally playing Witcher 3 for the first time, it gets my vote.

Nobody is saying kingdom Come Deliverance, it's is awesome. Large, historically accurate medieval game set in a real area of medieval Bohemia. It is incredibly immersive, your character must train, sleep, eat, not over eat so on. It also has a really in-depth and unique combat system.

Maybe I misunderstood what OP meant, but I felt like they were talking about something like the Walking Dead Telltale game but more immersive and open world. Rather than combat/action focused games like literally everything that has been suggested so far.

Currently playing Metro Exodus, and while *technically* it's not totally open world, it's very open-worldish. In the same vein, Dragon Age, Divinity: Original Sin, etc., also can feel quite open world (large, open areas) without actually being a true open world. Because, technically speaking, even Witcher 3 isn't open world, not really, it just has huge open maps, but they're still separate maps (White Orchard, Velen, Skellige, etc, you can't seamlessly travel between them).

Also I feel some MMOs fit the bill, especially the ones where you can play solo. Elder Scrolls Online is amazing, if you liked Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. Most of the content is easily soloable, all quests are fully voiced, and while it's technically not open world, the map is HONKING HUGE, individual zones are huge, etc. Many of the quests are pretty weak, but quite a few are really well done. And the content of the expansions for it are usually self-contained to that new zone, with an overreaching story arc, which is nice. And even WoW, when played solo, can be nice if you get sucked into the lore and read all the text (I wish WoW had voice acting like ESO does).

And there's also survival games where story isn't their strong point, but the story is still there. Such as The Forest (sequel coming in February).
