With hundreds of hours of quests, DLC content, dungeons and discoveries to make, there’s always something new to find when playing Skyrim, even if that something new is actually doing the main quest, because who cares about that when there’s guilds to join and treasures to find? Still, if Skyrim was a bit too streamlined for you hardcore players, just remember that Oblivion and Morrowind are both backwards compatible.ĭeveloper: Bethesda Game Studios, Obsidian Still, there’s a reason Bethesda keep pressing the “re-release Skyrim” button: it’s really bloody good. We’re still waiting for the inevitable announcement from Todd Howard that Skyrim will finally be playable on scientific calculators, disrupting Maths classes up and down the land. Hey, it’s that one that got ported to everything under the sun. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Source: Developer: Bethesda Game Studios With a strategic battle system where you controlled the formation of your party in battle, using the frontline characters to protect the backline, quick time events that could boost your attacks and differences in how characters learn abilities depending on if they were mortal or not, Lost Odyssey had plenty of depth and nuance to distinguish itself from other RPGs.ĥ. Now it’s the size of a normal modern game, so it’s hard to argue that it wasn’t somewhat ahead of its time. Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of the Final Fantasy series, Lost Odyssey is an RPG experience that spanned 4 disks when it originally launched over 10 years ago.
Told you we’d using backwards compatibility for this list, and why wouldn’t we? Lost Odyssey was an Xbox 360 exclusive JRPG that still holds up to this day, especially if you’re a fan of old school, turn-based combat. Organisational troubles have been the death of many a tabletop playing group, but those issues are lessened when all you have to do is log on and play Divinity from the comfort of your own home. The epic adventure from Larian Studios can also be tackled with up to four players, making it infinitely better than a D&D campaign because you don’t need to have everyone gathered in one place. Depending on the character you play as and the choices you make, one playthrough could be wildly different from another, making it a highly replayable experience. The closest you’ll get to a Dungeons and Dragons campaign in video game form, Divinity: Original Sin 2 allows you so much freedom in the way you tackle its various quests. Geralt’s journey is incredibly absorbing, though don’t be surprised if you abandon your adventuring days to become the greatest Gwent player in the land. In The Witcher 3, you play as a silver-haired sex pest who spends the majority of the game shagging his way up and down the land, occasionally taking a break to fight monsters and, on even rarer instances, engage with the main plot. It’s probably fair to assume that most people reading this list on the best Xbox One RPGs have played The Witcher 3 already, but for the benefit for the 5-6 of you who haven’t, here goes. What more is there to say about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, potentially one of the greatest games ever made, that hasn’t been said already? Hopefully at least another paragraph and a half for the benefit of this article. Plus, if you really feel like torturing yourself, you can play the Xbox 360 version of DS1 through backwards compatibility, and watch the framerate die as soon as you reach Blighttown. With Dark Souls: Remastered, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Dark Souls 3 all available on the Xbox One, all three games should keep you occupied for a long time, even if that’s purely because the bosses keep kicking your arse. Just look at games like The Surge, Lords of the Fallen and even Darksiders 3 which sought to imitate the Dark Souls formula, to mixed success. Often used as the measuring stick of in-game difficulty, or as a redundant and irrelevant comparison point (“it’s like the Dark Souls of blah blah”), Dark Souls has had an undeniable impact on the world of role-playing games.
