  • Action RPG
  • Open world
  • Fantasy

An open-world action RPG: you climb onto griffins, cyclopes and dragons to strike their weak points alongside three AI Pawns; your own learns from you and other players can hire it online. There are nine vocations.

Why play it now

When you fancy a long journey: the adventure lasts dozens of hours and Bitterblack Isle adds around 15 more.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to fight huge monsters and explore on foot, with nights so dark you need a lantern.

When not to pick it

If you want a great story: reviews find it bland, with repetitive side quests.
