9 Best Open-World RPGs Like Elden Ring To Play

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Ubisoft has found a good way to make open-world games that sell well. Both their Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry series have been successful for a long time because they use many of the same design ideas and concepts.

Fans of Elden Ring should be careful when playing this game, because Ubisoft’s open-world style is very hand-holding, with waypoints and quest logs constantly leading the way. This is very different from Elden Ring, which has a “show, don’t tell” style that throws players into the world with little help. Still, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla should be on this list because it’s a great game to play when you want to relax and not think too much about what to do or where to go.

Before Assassin’s Creed Origins, the Assassin’s Creed games were all action-adventure games. With Assassin’s Creed Origins, the games switched to the role-playing game (RPG) genre, which has many links to The Witcher 3.

Dragon’s Dogma

Dragon’s Dogma is known for being very hard, just like Elden Ring. This can be a deal-breaker for some people, but fans of Elden Ring will enjoy the task.In May 2012, Dragon’s Dogma came out for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. From 2013 to 2019, an expanded version of the game called Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen came out for the same platforms as well as PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Capcom has said that there will be a sequel to Dragon’s Dogma, and it will be a “single-player, story-driven action-RPG.”

Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was the only game that 38 Studios made before it went out of business. The problems with the company don’t affect the quality of the game, though. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a great action RPG that stands out in a crowded genre with its many side quests and ability to be customized.

Players take control of a figure called the Fateless One, who is brought back from the dead and can be changed in any way they want. They can then explore a beautiful world called the Faelands.Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning got good reviews, as shown by its Metascore of 81 on PC.

Diablo 4

Diablo 4, made by Blizzard, is the first game in the renowned Diablo series to have an open world. Some fans were skeptical about the series jumping on the open world level design bandwagon, but the game has been well-received, as shown by its excellent 92 Metascore on Xbox Series X.

Diablo 4 is different from Elden Ring because it has an isometric view, which is rare in AAA open-world games. In Blizzard’s action RPG, players can choose from five different classes: Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. They can also fight a wide variety of enemies and finish a wide variety of quests.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

CD Projekt Red made The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which came out for the first time in May 2015. Less than two years after the Xbox One and PS4 came out, the game was one of the most beautiful, huge, and well-made games of the whole console age.

The Witcher 3 did a lot of things well, but what made it stand out was how many quests it had, how deep their stories were, and how many important decisions the player could make in them. The game got a lot of praise from critics, as shown by its 93 Metascore on PC and its win for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2015.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

It’s hard to believe, but The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has been out for more than ten years now. Even though the game is old, it is still seen as the standard for open-world RPGs. This is mostly because of the many ports and re-releases of the game over the years, which have often found ways to update the epic journey.

One of the main reasons Skyrim has been such a big commercial success is that it has so many different ways to play. There is a lot to like for both casual players and those who want a combat-focused, action-packed game.

Horizon Forbidden West

The people who worked on Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West at Guerrilla Games must be thinking what they did wrong to have such bad luck. Both open-world RPGs were well-liked by reviewers, but just a few days later came The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring, two of the most well-liked open-world games of all time.

Horizon: Forbidden West won’t be lost in the crowd, though, because its beautiful open world is enough to make it stand out. In the game, players once again take control of Aloy, who is quickly becoming one of PlayStation’s most famous characters.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Warhorse Studios made Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which is set in Bohemia in the year 1403. The game stands out for how realistic it is, not just because it is true to history but also because clothes wear out and players have to eat and sleep to stay healthy.

When it came out, Snow Rider 3D had a lot of bugs that broke the game that made it hard for reviewers to like it. These bugs and many other technical problems have since been fixed, which means the game can now live up to its full potential. Kingdom Come: Deliverance still has some rough spots, but if you want to trade Elden Ring’s fantasy for historical truth, there aren’t many open-world RPGs better than Warhorse Studios’ game.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

RPG masters BioWare made Dragon Age: Inquisition. This is the same company that made the Mass Effect series, Baldur’s Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.Players take on the part of the Inquisitor, a person who lived through a terrible event that tore a hole in the Veil, the barrier between the real world and the spirit world of the Fade. Players can experience a huge, fantastical open world, just like in Elden Ring.

After the disappointing Dragon Age 2, Inquisition was seen as a return to form for the Dragon Age series.Dragon Age: Inquisition got an 89 Metascore on PS4, and it also won a lot of awards, like Game of the Year at The Game Awards, NAVGTR Awards, and SXSW Gaming Awards. This shows how good this game is.
