Gothic

Open world

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.

Gothic 1 Remake

Choices with consequences

As a nameless convict in a mining colony sealed by a magical barrier, you start out weak, join a faction and painstakingly learn skills from trainers. The remake brings back the rugged, believable world with NPC daily routines in Unreal Engine 5.

Of Ash and Steel

Fantasy setting

An indie third-person action RPG that blends old-school RPG sensibilities with modern design. You explore a war-torn island in the Kingdom of the Seven and fight to survive in a harsh world.

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.

Drova: Forsaken Kin

Choices with consequences

A pixel-art action RPG in the spirit of classic old-school role-playing games, featuring an open world to roam freely, rival factions and meaningful decisions. Exploration and character growth take center stage, with fairly challenging combat.

Gothic 3

Open world

A vast, freely explorable Myrtana under orc rule where you side with orcs, rebels, assassins or nomads and carve your own path through the world. The game is notoriously buggy but beloved for its atmosphere and Kai Rosenkranz's sweeping score.

Outward

Open world

Outward is an open-world fantasy RPG that casts you as an ordinary adventurer wrestling with hunger, thirst, fatigue and weather. Preparation, supplies and caution matter more than heroics, and it can be played solo or in co-op.
