As a nameless prisoner dumped into a mining colony sealed by a magic barrier, you claw your way up from nobody with no quest markers, joining one of three camps and learning skills only from trainers. Its harsh, believable world full of gruff characters and its unforgiving, clunky combat made it a cult classic.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Lore and world history

Risen 2: Dark Waters

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Piranha Bytes' pirate RPG sends a one-eyed hero across tropical islands, joining factions and fighting sea monsters with cutlass, pistol and voodoo. Rough around the edges but full of salty humor and classic Gothic-style freedom.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A witty Larian action RPG where you play a Dragon Knight who fights on foot and can also transform into a dragon for aerial combat. Mind reading, quirky quests and plenty of hidden secrets make its take on Rivellon stand out.

Exiled Kingdoms

Open world

An old-school isometric action RPG with a large freely explorable world, factions and quests that involve choices. It focuses on character building, exploration and challenging combat.

Dread Delusion

Choices with consequences
