The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim takes the series to new heights, it refines what was already there in the past and expands on it for an even more lengthier and refined experience. The visuals and presentations of the game are outstanding, the soundtracks are one of the best ever and naturally with the Elder Scrolls, the games have a huge replay value. It’s not hard to spend hundreds of hours in Skyrim. Sadly, few bugs do exist, sure there will be patches in the future that will fix it but that’s the future and not now. Regardless, the game stands strong, not even a shout could knock it back.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.

After speaking to a lot of people about Skyrim, it's been a mixed bag for everyone. The game itself is a great and outstanding (GoTY of year quality) but with bugs, it's turned mix with some people. For me, I've had very few minor bugs (none game-breaking) while I found some others stuck with lag issues or stuck on a quest.
