Gothic

Lots to discover

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.

Gothic 3

Choices with consequences

A vast, freely explorable Myrtana under orc rule where you side with orcs, rebels, assassins or nomads and carve your own path through the world. The game is notoriously buggy but beloved for its atmosphere and Kai Rosenkranz's sweeping score.

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.

Gothic 1 Remake

Choices with consequences

As a nameless convict in a mining colony sealed by a magical barrier, you start out weak, join a faction and painstakingly learn skills from trainers. The remake brings back the rugged, believable world with NPC daily routines in Unreal Engine 5.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Lore and world history

A legendary open-world RPG set on the alien volcanic island of Vvardenfell, prized for its total freedom, bizarre world design and deep lore. With no quest markers, you navigate by directions, join factions and shape your character however you like.

Drova: Forsaken Kin

Choices with consequences

A pixel-art action RPG in the spirit of classic old-school role-playing games, featuring an open world to roam freely, rival factions and meaningful decisions. Exploration and character growth take center stage, with fairly challenging combat.
