![]() You will often be pulled into political problems with nobles and nations vying for your aid to help them obtain their goals. It seems, however, that the world is not content to simply allow you to travel around killing beasts and demons. Geralt is a witcher, which is a genetically mutated human, gifted with enhanced strength and powers in order to become a superior monster slayer. In the Witcher, as with the other games, you take on the role of Geralt of Rivia. ![]() It should be noted that the Witcher is not a first-person game, but you can play it in an over-the-shoulder third-person mode, that is somewhat similar. That said you would be doing yourself a grave disservice by skipping out on the game that really brought the world of the Witcher into a more mainstream light. It was painful at times, combat was not particularly fluid, and sometimes it was easy to lose track of what you were supposed to do. I won’t deny that the first Witcher game was a little rough around the edges.

Also Oblivion had perhaps one of the best expansion/dlc areas I have ever experienced, The Shivering Isles. This is unsurprising due to the fact that Bethesda games always seem to have a similar array of bugs in every game they build in the Gamebryo (or Creation) game engine, but you just get used to it.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Image Source: Bethesda If you were looking for a game like Skyrim, you should look no farther than the game that really set the tone for the fourth and fifth entries into the Elder Scrolls series. You could simply explore the world at your whim and the free-form design of the game put very few barriers in place to prevent you from doing anything you wanted. There was, of course, a story to follow and quests to perform, but you didn’t have to do that. Morrowind was very different.Īfter being released into the world as a newly freed convict, it was up to you to decide your path. While games like Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, or Diablo threw you headlong into an epic adventure, it was pretty clear that, despite the ability to branch away from the main story in a limited sense, the game had a goal in mind for you. Released when I was a mere boy of 15 or so, Morrowind was my first real journey into a truly open-world experience. the one that most, if not all, hardcore fans of the franchise consider to be the best of the series. ![]() The first entry in our list of games like Skyrim is, quite unsurprisingly, Morrowind, a.k.a. The Breakfast in Tijuana case arrived just a few months ago in June 2020.The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Image Source: Bethesda ![]() We reviewed the game back in 2013, scoring it an 8 and calling it a "great cooperative shooter." Overkill is still supporting the game with extra content and heists, too. Payday 2's secret ending was unlocked in 2018, some five years after release. It's heartening news after Overkill's The Walking Dead flopped causing major financial trouble for publisher Starbreeze, which was the subject of reports saying that it might not survive another year in 2019.
