The game world of Giants is set on a fictional "Island" traveling through space.[13] Its surface comprises grasslands, deserts, and forests, surrounded by azure seas.[4][8] Players have an unobstructed view of the game world to its horizon; whereas distant objects are slightly blurred to convey a sense of distance.[14] Missions for Meccaryns provide cover to hide behind, large spaces of water for Reapers, and creatures for Kabuto to eat.[14]
