5 games like Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the most well-known RPGs in the world. Developed by Bethesda, the action-adventure open-world game came out in 2012 and received positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Over time, Skyrim has evolved greatly, carving out a niche for itself in pop-culture.

Skyrim’s epic adventure story has a simple premise but phenomenal execution. Few other titles have been able to capture the same feel and atmosphere in their story and gameplay as Bethesda’s most popular outing.

However, certain games do offer a similar experience to Skyrim, albeit in different ways. As far as fantasy action-adventure games go, these are some of the best in the business. Here are five games like Skyrim that will satisfy the player’s adventuring needs.

An oft-overlooked game of 2012 is Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, from developer Big Huge games and 38 Studios. Releasing just a few months after Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur failed to get much recognition, since the hype surrounding Bethesda’s game was still quite high at the time.

Yet, Kingdoms of Amalur was a fun fantasy game with a combat system that was arguably better than Skyrim. The fictional world was rich in lore, vibrant, and diverse. Fae creatures popped up in the secluded wilderness, while humans and gnomes resided in established settlements. Elves remained reclusive and hid away in their secret cities.

The game had a unique take on the character class, letting players switch between Destinies based on the points allocated to their attributes. Taking on the role of the Fateless One, players are thrust into a journey where only they can save the world from destruction.
