Sam of GAMElitist.com - "n my third, and most important year of university, gaming saw one of its best years ever release wise. The Autumn release schedule was ridiculous, featuring such juggernauts as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, Rayman Origins and Batman Arkham City. And then of course there’s Bethesda’s epic open world fantasy RPG game Skyrim."
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.
Me to and its not that hard
Pumped over 80 hours into it... but at the end of the day my gameplay experience felt hollow in comparison to the 20 hours of awesomeness that was Batman Arkham City.
I put over 400 hours into the game and that was before the dlc's came out... and it does like I done nothing at all
Thinking about finally buying it.
