Wedging a real-time action battle system featuring swords, spears, and horses into a basic sandbox game, Mount & Blade's variety keeps it fresh and addicting for much longer than a typical straightforward strategy or simulation title. Every part of the design incorporates freedom, from the leader's skill set, to which weapon is used in battle, to which faction to join. The world is huge and open and nearly everything the player does can have an impact later, be it positive or negative.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord may not be out yet, but modders sure seem eager to get started with TaleWorlds Entertainment's long-awaited quasi-historical strategy RPG. There's already a Tolkien mod in the making, and one concerning Silmarillion, at that.
