Long hours as a kid were spent exploring mysterious worlds. Those moments shaped a lasting love for experiences that mix adventure, strategy, and strong world-building. Over time, preferences evolved, but that early sense of wonder still defines what makes a game unforgettable.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Historical accuracy meets RPG depth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, an immersive medieval experience without magic or dragons. Playing as Henry, a blacksmith’s son caught in a war-torn Bohemia, combat demands skill, dialogue choices affect reputation, and survival hinges on realism. No quest markers, no hand-holding—just an uncompromising journey through a beautifully recreated 15th-century world where actions have lasting consequences.

“We wanted a game where history, not fantasy, takes center stage—where immersion comes from realism.” – Daniel Vávra, Creative Director at Warhorse Studios

Baldur’s Gate 3

Larian Studios reinvents Baldur’s Gate with deep role-playing, turn-based combat, and boundless player choice. Faithful to Dungeons & Dragons, it offers rich character creation, unpredictable dice rolls, and vast freedom in approach. Party dynamics, immersive storytelling, and world-altering decisions create a campaign that feels truly personal. Every battle and dialogue carries weight, making it a modern RPG masterpiece.

“We give players the tools to tell their own stories, where every decision feels impactful.” – Swen Vincke, Founder of Larian Studios

The Elder Scrolls Series

From Morrowind’s alien landscapes to Skyrim’s snow-covered peaks, The Elder Scrolls thrives on freedom. Play as anyone, go anywhere, and carve your legend through vast open worlds brimming with lore, politics, and secrets. Whether joining guilds, slaying dragons, or bending reality with magic, the series transforms exploration into an art form. Few RPGs match its depth, with player choices truly shaping the experience.

“We create worlds that players can make their own, where every playthrough is a new story.” – Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda

Gothic Series

Dark, punishing, and deeply immersive, the Gothic series throws players into unforgiving worlds where reputation matters and every fight is hard-earned. Playing as the Nameless Hero, survival depends on mastering the brutal combat and navigating faction politics. The harsh landscapes of Myrtana, riddled with danger and lore, offer a level of freedom and consequence few RPGs can match. Fans cherish its rough edges, making it a cult classic of the genre.

“We wanted a world where the player feels small and has to earn his place through skill and persistence.” – Michael Hoge, Co-founder of Piranha Bytes

Dragon Age: Origins

A sprawling dark fantasy epic, Dragon Age: Origins lets players shape Thedas through their choices, alliances, and betrayals. As a Grey Warden, the duty to stop the Blight demands tough moral decisions, tactical combat, and deep character bonds. Origin stories add personal stakes, making each playthrough unique. With compelling companions and world-altering consequences, Origins remains one of BioWare’s finest RPGs.

“We wanted a fantasy setting that was darker, where your choices shape the world in truly meaningful ways.” – David Gaider, Lead Writer at BioWare

Warcraft Vanilla and Classic

The original World of Warcraft and its Classic revival capture the raw magic of Azeroth’s early adventures. Before streamlined mechanics, every level felt earned, group quests built communities, and world PvP could erupt at any moment. Factions clashed, dungeons required teamwork, and epics were forged through effort. Whether exploring Stranglethorn or raiding Molten Core, this era defines the essence of MMO nostalgia.

“The world is the main character, and players bring it to life with their stories and battles.” – Chris Metzen, Former Creative Director at Blizzard

Fallout Series

From retro-futuristic wastelands to morally ambiguous choices, the Fallout franchise delivers unique post-apocalyptic experiences. Whether navigating the original games’ isometric RPGs or the open-world chaos of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, players craft their own survival stories. Mutants, vaults, and dark humor define this radioactive world, where every bullet, barter, and betrayal shapes a brutal yet oddly charming landscape.

“The goal was to create a world that reacts to your choices, where humor, darkness, and consequence are intertwined.” – Chris Avellone, Lead Designer of Fallout 2

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

A masterpiece of storytelling and open-world design, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt follows Geralt of Rivia on his relentless search for Ciri. Rich in folklore, monster hunting, and moral dilemmas, its branching quests and deep characters ensure no two journeys feel the same. The world, from the war-torn lands of Velen to the bustling streets of Novigrad, overflows with secrets, danger, and adventure. Every choice alters Geralt’s path, making it one of the most replayable RPGs ever created.

“We don’t want to create a fantasy game where there’s a clear good and evil. We want to create a world that feels real.” – Marcin Iwiński, Co-founder of CD Projekt Red

Kenshi

Kenshi redefines the sandbox RPG by casting you as a nobody in a brutal, unforgiving world. With no main quest to follow, your only goal is to survive. You’ll be beaten, enslaved, and left for dead, but every injury makes you stronger through its “learn-by-doing” system. Whether you become a master thief, a wandering trader, a ruthless warlord, or the founder of a new city, the story is entirely your own. It’s a masterclass in emergent narrative, where the world doesn’t revolve around you you’re just another soul trying to carve out a place in its harsh, sword-punk wasteland.

“You’re not the chosen one. You’re not great and powerful. You don’t have more ‘hitpoints’ than everyone else. You are not the center of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it.” – Chris Hunt, Creator of Kenshi
