9. Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Gameplay

For some players, Skyrim can be too open-ended and they find themselves overwhelmed by the number of things they can do right off the bat and how unstructured the overall narrative is. If that sounds like you, then Kingdom Come: Deliverance might just be the next RPG for you. It is highly story driven, and you spend a lot of the early game getting to know the world and the characters living in it as your avatar, Henry, quests to improve his skills so he can avenge the murder of his parents. Before it sets you off on your own it makes sure you have a firm handle on everything from combat to speechcraft to exploration and movement.

How it’s like Skyrim: Kingdom Come is set in a medieval themed world which (after the lengthy prologue) you can explore to your heart’s content. The combat is very simulation heavy and you have options for how you complete side-quests (such as sneaking or barging into a fight).

How it’s Different: There are no magic or fantasy elements in Kingdom Come, in fact the developers hired a medieval historian for advice and feedback as they worked on the game so they could keep it realistic. You don’t get to create a character, but the highly polished writing really makes up for it.

Experience balanced and dynamic real-time combat.

Travel by foot or on horseback.
