  • Fantasy setting
  • Lots of humour
  • Lots to discover

A modern-day gamer is pulled into a fantasy castle and must fight his way through a sprawling pixel-art metroidvania with spells, gear and skill points. Its cheeky humor and constant nods to pop culture and RPG clichés give it a distinctive charm.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis

Fantasy setting

A witty Larian action RPG where you play a Dragon Knight who fights on foot and can also transform into a dragon for aerial combat. Mind reading, quirky quests and plenty of hidden secrets make its take on Rivellon stand out.

Gothic II

Fantasy setting

A handcrafted, densely populated fantasy island where the Nameless Hero rises from weakling to champion, joins a faction, and has to earn every bit of progress the hard way. The cult classic thrives on its believable world, gruff dialogue and a superb sense of discovery.

Risen

Fantasy setting

A classic Piranha Bytes RPG in the spirit of Gothic: as a nameless castaway you explore a dense, handcrafted volcanic island, join a faction and claw your way from weakling to hero. Tough combat and a believable, lived-in world are its core strengths.

Risen 2: Dark Waters

Lots of humour

Piranha Bytes' pirate RPG sends a one-eyed hero across tropical islands, joining factions and fighting sea monsters with cutlass, pistol and voodoo. Rough around the edges but full of salty humor and classic Gothic-style freedom.

Thief: Deadly Shadows

Tactical depth

As master thief Garrett you creep through a gloomy, steampunk-tinged city, using light and shadow to slip past guards. Dense atmosphere, free-roaming city hubs and a conspiracy among the Keepers define the experience.

Fable

Lots of humour

Playground Games' reboot of Fable brings back a fairytale Albion steeped in British humor as an open-world action RPG. Your choices and reputation shape what kind of hero you become.

Arx Fatalis

Fantasy setting

A first-person RPG set in an underground fantasy world where the sun has died. It stands out for its gesture-drawn rune spellcasting, highly interactive environments and gloomy cavernous atmosphere.

Risen 3: Titan Lords

Fantasy setting

A pirate-flavoured fantasy RPG from Piranha Bytes: as a soulless warrior you explore islands, mix swordplay, magic and voodoo, and fight Titans with companions at your side. The start is rough, but the world rewards curiosity.

Gothic

Fantasy setting

As a nameless prisoner dumped into a mining colony sealed by a magic barrier, you claw your way up from nobody with no quest markers, joining one of three camps and learning skills only from trainers. Its harsh, believable world full of gruff characters and its unforgiving, clunky combat made it a cult classic.
