AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Like Skyrim, this is a vast open-world RPG where your choices truly matter, but with a more focused and emotionally resonant narrative that delves into mature themes and complex characters.

Fallout: New Vegas

If you love Skyrim's freedom to explore and make your own path, New Vegas offers that in a post-apocalyptic setting, with even greater emphasis on player choice and the consequences of your actions.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

This game strips away the magic and dragons but doubles down on Skyrim's medieval immersion, offering a realistic open-world RPG where every choice and skill point feels earned in a grounded historical setting.
