Best level design in a game?

Skyrims world design was one of the best I've ever seen. Bioshock is up there too.

I think we need to clarify what the OP meant. When I hear "level design," I'm thinking of how the level plays, not looks. Enemy placement and how the player interacts with the environment are key.

This isn't art direction or visuals.

To me, many open world games suffer in this regard, including Witcher 3. Fighting hordes of bandits was repetitive and a chore.

Skyrim has some of the worst level design I've ever seen.

Even if this is what OP meant, God of War sucked dick.

I'm just not into button mashing though so feel free to throw my opinion out the window

ETA: Regarding the Witcher and its bandits, I mean would you have rather them had just one group of bandits in the game? I find it perfectly believable that bandits are just posted in random locations than just none at all.
