One More Level writer explains why Skyrim is worth putting hours into.
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.
I got to level 80 with 1 character and now I've started over playing a different way and still really enjoying it. Skyrim is the kinda of game you can easily play a 100 hours and start over several times and still not be bored.
Im waiting for the realism combat mod :)
Haven't found the interest in finishing this game, and I'm shocked at the fact too. It's just that the quests are so repetitive, and the story has become annoying with the imperials and stormcloaks always complaining and fighting.
I'm at the part now where you have to reach a truce at the table where the Greybeards live, such an annoying quest..>_>
I burnt myself out on skyrim. After 200+ hours I kinda had to stop playing. Fantastic game.
