1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
This one is a no-brainer. A deep story, amazing visuals, and a huge fantasy world packed with monsters and magic. Geralt might not Fus Ro Dah, but he’s got style.
2. Dragon Age: Inquisition
This game lets you build your party and lead the Inquisition. Dialogue choices and magic-heavy combat give major Skyrim vibes.
3. Kingdom Come: Deliverance
No dragons here, but you do get realistic swordplay and a deep medieval world. Great for players who love immersion and realism.
4. Horizon Zero Dawn
Okay, not fantasy—it’s futuristic. But the open world, exploration, and crafting will satisfy any Skyrim fan. Plus, robot dinosaurs.
5. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Step into boots of a Viking and explore Norse mythology. Raiding villages and building settlements makes this a wild ride.

This one’s tough, be warned. But the medieval world, deep lore, and epic boss fights make it a must-play for fantasy fans.
7. Divinity: Original Sin 2
If you love RPG elements like character builds and turn-based combat, this one is perfect. The writing and story are top-notch too.
8. Immortals Fenyx Rising
Lighthearted and fun, it’s like Skyrim met Greek mythology and added a pinch of comedy. Good for something a bit more upbeat.

Orcs, swords, and the world of Tolkien. Sounds like Skyrim, right? Plus, you get to command your own army.

It’s from the same company that made Skyrim—Bethesda! This time, you’re in a post-apocalyptic world with guns and power armor instead of swords and magic.
11. GreedFall
A colonial fantasy world full of monsters and political drama. The story adaptively changes with your choices—very roleplay heavy!

From the creators of Dark Souls, but in an open world. Huge maps, tough enemies, and deep lore written in part by George R.R. Martin.
13. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
This one is all about medieval warfare. Build your army, manage your kingdom, and charge into large-scale battles.
14. Cyberpunk 2077
No dragons here—just androids. But it’s a deep RPG with tons of customization and a city that feels alive. Think Skyrim with cyber style.
15. Genshin Impact
