Skyrim is the one of the most engaging and in-depth games released this year. It has a grand open-world and a whole varying set of enemies. The huge amount of quests and seemingly limitless amounts of items make every game experience different. Everything in the game fits together perfectly like a well-oiled machine. With such a mammoth game you may not know where to start. Here are 4 Things Every Gamer Should Do in 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.
I foolishly tried to kill a giant too when I first saw one. After that, I though I was in for it when I came across another one in the mountains, but I walked away without drawing my weapon and even though he saw me he didn't attack. They don't seem too aggressive, so if you leave them alone they'll leave you alone too.
I've leveled up my Sneak and with my Shrouded Gloves I can now one-shot giants with dual daggers. 60x damage is where it's at. :)
I beat a giant at level 14, with an axe and flames....fuck yeah, it's a lot more rewarding than killing a dragon honestly...
