"Skyrim’s Dragonborn DLC takes players back to an area which will serve as a great reminder for what may be one of their favorite past games. Now while the DLC may offer a lackluster main quest-line there is so much side-content to be lost in that players can happily forget the main story in the pursuit of side-quests, new item gathering and more. Skyrim’s Dragonborn DLC may not offer everything a fan would want, but with upwards of twenty hours worth of content, a new(ish) land to explore and some new lore and backstory to discover, Dragonborn will keep players eager to venture into the world of Tamriel once again."
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.
Can't believe this waste of money got an 8.
not going to get this, this should be free.
I just love that the goblins get to throw their spears while the player only can equip the spears as a quiver. Because that's how you throw a spear!
Great DLC - more like this please!
you guys need to stop bitching about this DLC and actually play it. ITS GOOD!
