For me I think Wheel of Time would be a great Skyrim type of open world game.
Ringworld
Number of the Beast by Heinlein
Still haven’t read Elric yet but it sounds like it would make a good game.

Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International. It wouldn't even need an overarching story, although it could have one; what I'd really want is a massive series of individual monster hunting quests where a big part of the game is figuring out what kind of monster you're going to be fighting and what loadout you need for it. The monsters should have big physical advantages that can be largely obviated with the right gear and tactics.
Think like the best Witcher III sidequests but with modern armaments instead of sword oils.
I'd also love to see it as a management/strategy/tactics game, too, since the 'mercenary company' vibe would also fit controlling multiple soldiers.
Similar themes as you mentioned, with research and counters, but instead of Witcher-style adventure/action, go for turn-based or real-time strategy.
Like a supernatural Jagged Alliance? That could be great as well.
Exactly, that's a good way to put it!
Sign me up for Jagged Alliance with heavily armed monster hunting mercenary company.
