This version is available on both PS4 and PS5 consoles, with its original price at about $29.90. Our friends over at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/03/17/black-desert-online-review\" rel=\"nofollow\">IGN</a> mentioned that back in 2017 they gave this game a score of 7/10, which might be a good sign if you're still on the fence whether or not to give this game a shot.</p><h3 id=\"2.-cats-hidden-in-paris\">2. Cats Hidden in Paris</h3><p id=\"pokémon-unite\">Credit's go to where credit's due - our colleagues over at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://gamerant.com/best-free-pc-games/\" rel=\"nofollow\">gamerant</a> actually introduced us to this unique, and very different type of game. </p><p id=\"pokémon-unite\">Cats Hidden in Paris is a beautifully simple, <i>hand-drawn</i> game where the goal is exactly as it seems - you need to find cats hiding in plain site. It might sound easy but it does require some 20/20 vision and focusing on your part. Making the game all the more unique, and a level or two above similar puzzles you might find in your local papers, are the super cute meowing sounds and easy-listening soundtrack!</p><p id=\"pokémon-unite\">This game is a definite recommendation for anyone who loves some laid back fun, and for its definitive uniqueness it deserves our number one of the top spots on our list as a genuinely different type of f2p game.</p><h3 id=\"3.-scholar’s-mate-–-first-move\">3. Scholar’s Mate – First Move</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC</li></ul><p>This game might be another pick that is not necessarily one you'd expect on such a list - but we believe it's one that deserves to be the first in line, for all the right reasons. Scholar’s Mate – First Move is a free game developed by JanduSoft, an indie game developer. The game is a mind boggling, thrilling experience where you wake up disoriented, in a psychiatric hospital. Your aim, playing as Judith, is to find a way out. If you're into free horror games, this is definitely one for you! </p><p>We should also give credit to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.indiegamebundles.com/best-new-free-games-on-steam-july-4-2023/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Indie Game Bundles</a> who point out that this is a <i>prologue </i>to the upcoming, full versioned game.</p><h3 id=\"4.-multiversus\">4.

The title from Player First Games is currently in open beta, with a full release expected in early 2024. It’s a fighting game that features lots of famous characters such as Batman, Bugs Bunny, Arya Stark, and even Shaggy!</p><h3 id=\"5.-overwatch-2\">5. Overwatch 2</h3><ul><li>Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S</li></ul><p>Overwatch is one of the landmark games of the last decade, and it played a massive part in helping the eSports industry to become the booming giant it is today. Blizzard Entertainment has now followed that up with Overwatch 2. The new title is already one of the best F2P games on the market. It’s like its predecessor with a few key improvements, such as enhanced graphics, thankfully.</p><h3 id=\"6.-summoners-war:-chronicles\">6. Summoners War: Chronicles</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC, Mobile</li></ul><p>Summoners War: Chronicles looks set to be one of the best games available on PC in 2023. The action RPG was released at the end of 2022 and has already garnered an enormous following. It’s a follow-up to Summoners War: Sky Arena, and explores the conflicts that ended up leading to the creation of that world. If you’re looking for free to play PC games - then definitely give this one a try.</p><h3 id=\"7.-kartrider:-drift\">7. KartRider: Drift</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC</li></ul><p>There aren’t that many F2P racing games to choose from, so KartRider: Drift has the potential to be the best F2P games on the market in its genre. It’s a <a href=\"/en/blog/cross-platform-games/\">cross-platform title</a>, meaning you can play against friends who use different devices. The game was just released in March 2023 and has already attracted a lot of interest.</p><h3 id=\"8.-block-n-load-2\">8. Block N Load 2</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC</li></ul><p>Block N Load 2 is the long-awaited sequel to its highly acclaimed predecessor. Players participate in a tactical battle in which everything they build or destroy has an impact on the outcome of the game. This title is set for release later in 2023 and is likely to generate a lot of hype, so keep an eye open for that one!</p><h3 id=\"9.-ufl\">9. UFL</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S</li></ul><p>UFL is another brand-new F2P game, and it’s a soccer title that could even rival the likes of FIFA. There haven’t been many successful simulators of the sport other than FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer over the years, and this one is threatening to upset the apple cart. It will be very interesting to see if it can achieve doing just that.</p><h3 id=\"10.-honkai:-star-rail\">10.

It’s a unique concept in the realm of F2P games, so it could potentially be a refreshing change from some of the overly used genres.</p><h3 id=\"11.-operation:-harsh-doorstop\">11. Operation: Harsh Doorstop</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC, Mobile</li></ul><p>For players searching for a new <i>shooter sandbox</i>, Operation: Harsh Doorstop could be an exciting choice. The game from Drakeling Labs was released in February 2023 and has garnered mainly positive reviews, and has even been compared to mod-friendly games like Ravenfield.</p><h3 id=\"12.-star-wars:-hunters\">12. Star Wars: Hunters</h3><ul><li>Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Mobile</li></ul><p>The Star Wars universe is constantly expanding, and gamers have a multitude of options (and opinions...). The pick of the F2P games in George Lucas’s world has to be Star Wars: Hunters, which is available on Switch and mobile devices. The game is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, and will involve players competing together in <i>team-based multiplayer battles. </i>Sounds pretty exciting, if you ask us.</p><h3 id=\"13.-fall-guys\">13. Fall Guys</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch</li></ul><p>Fall Guys was released in 2020, but believe it or not, it only became a free to play game <i>recently</i>. This is an excellent party game in which players have to compete over a range of challenges to be the last avatar standing. It’s a great game for either playing alone or with friends and is available on almost every platform. It can be frustrating at times, but winning an event will fill you with some major satisfaction.</p><h3 id=\"14.-phantasy-star-online-2\">14. Phantasy Star Online 2</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4</li></ul><p>Japan is responsible for some of the finest F2P games on the planet, and Phantasy Star Online 2 is the latest immersive RPG from the country.

Genshin Impact</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/HLUY1nICQRY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p><ul><li>Platforms: PC, Mobile, PS4, PS5</li></ul><p>No list in 2023 could be complete without mentioning Genshin Impact, and here it is, closing ours as well. The game has been out on various platforms since 2020, but the popular action role-playing game is also coming to Switch soon. The title is famous for its anime-style open-world setting, and the battle system that uses magic and character switching. It’s one of the top F2P games on the market, with its regular updates being one of the main reasons for that.</p><h2 id=\"what-are-f2p-games-though?\">What Are F2P Games Though?</h2><p>F2P stands for free-to-play.

However, it evolved into a standalone class known for excelling in combat through a combination of fury and force.</p><p>The Barbarian is often less skilled than a fighter, but powerful enough to make up the deficit with overall strength and aggression. If you're thinking of Conan then you've got the right idea.</p><h4 id=\"proficiencies\">Proficiencies</h4><ul><li>Armor: Light and medium armor + shields.</li><li>Possible Equipment: A great ax, any martial melee weapon, two-handed axes, any simple weapon, or an explorer’s pack with four javelins.</li><li>Tools: None.</li><li>Saves: Strength and constitution.</li><li>Skills: Intimidation, survival, animal handling, perception, athletics, and nature.</li></ul><h3 id=\"bard\">Bard</h3><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/dnd-3.webp\"></figure><p>Bards are versatile characters that are capable of fighting using their developed speech skills and vast knowledge of language.

However, the one thing that links them all is the ability to fight. This means they’re great <a href=\"/en/blog/pvp-and-pve/\">in a PVP scenario</a> if you do have to confront or deliver damage. These characters are hardy, strong, tactical, and skilled with weapons.</p><h4 id=\"proficiencies\">Proficiencies</h4><ul><li>Armor: All armor and shields</li><li>Possible Equipment: Chainmail, leather armor, longbow, and 20 arrows, a light crossbow and 20 bolts, two-handed axes, a martial weapon and a shield, two martial weapons, a dungeoneer’s pack, and an explorer’s pack.</li><li>Tools: None.</li><li>Saves: Constitution and strength.</li><li>Skills: Acrobatics, athletics, history, animal handling, perception, insight, intimidation, and survival (choose two).</li></ul><h3 id=\"monk\">Monk</h3><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/dnd-7.webp\"></figure><p>Monks are skilled fighters with a mystical edge.

They are, in essence, knights of the realm who are skilled fighters and spellcasters and they can complement almost any team with their presence. However, they must always keep on the right side of good and uphold justice at all times.</p><h4 id=\"proficiencies\">Proficiencies</h4><ul><li>Armor: All armor and shields.</li><li>Possible Equipment: Chainmail and a holy symbol, an explorer’s pack, a priest’s pack, two martial weapons, a martial weapon, a shield, any simple melee weapon, and five javelins.</li><li>Tools: None.</li><li>Saves: Wisdom and charisma.</li><li>Skills: Intimidation, athletics, medicine, insight, religion, and persuasion.</li></ul><h3 id=\"ranger\">Ranger</h3><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/dnd-9.webp\"></figure><p>Rangers are hunters and skilled with an ax. Their skills are honed through a life of stalking prey and hunting in wooded areas, meaning they're experts in combat situations. Rangers are reclusive and not necessarily mystical, but they do have an affinity with nature.</p><h4 id=\"proficiencies\">Proficiencies</h4><ul><li>Armor: Light and medium armor + shields</li><li>Possible Equipment: A longbow and a quiver of 20 arrows, scale mail, leather armor, two short swords, two simple melee weapons, a dungeoneer’s pack, and an explorer’s pack.</li><li>Tools: None.</li><li>Saves: Strength and dexterity.</li><li>Skills: Stealth, Athletics, animal handling, investigation, insight, perception, nature, and survival.</li></ul><h3 id=\"rogue\">Rogue</h3><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/dnd-10.webp\"></figure><p>The Rogue was an official base class from the Player’s Handbook in early editions of Dungeons & Dragons. As you’d expect, the Rogue doesn’t play by the rules.

Specifically, they’re masters of arcane magic, meaning they can control the elements and sometimes even more. That puts them among the most powerful DnD classes.</p><h4 id=\"proficiencies\">Proficiencies</h4><ul><li>Armor: None.</li><li>Possible Equipment: Two daggers, a light crossbow and 20 bolts, any simple weapon, a component pouch, an arcane focus, an explorer’s pack, and a dungeoneer’s pack.</li><li>Tools: None.</li><li>Saves: Charisma and constitution.</li><li>Skills: Arcana, intimidation, religious deception, insight, and persuasion.</li></ul><h3 id=\"warlock\">Warlock</h3><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/dnd-12.webp\"></figure><p>Warlocks were initially introduced as a non-core base class that practiced arcane magic.

However, if spells are required, few can match this character class. Unlike other magic-based DnD classes, Wizards cast their spells based on acquired knowledge.</p><p>In other words, they build up their repertoire of spells as the game evolves, which means they may start off as fairly weak but gain in strength.</p><h4 id=\"proficiencies\">Proficiencies</h4><ul><li>Armor: None.</li><li>Possible Equipment: A spell book, an explorer’s pack, a scholar’s pack, an arcane focus, a component pouch, and a dagger.</li><li>Tools: None.</li><li>Saves: Wisdom and intelligence.</li><li>Skills: Arcana, medicine, religion history, insight, and investigation.</li></ul><h2 id=\"how-many-dnd-classes-are-there?\">How Many DnD Classes Are There?</h2><p>There are 12 DnD classes, but they aren’t all created equal.

These are titles that can be played quickly and aren’t too taxing for players. They’re sometimes referred to as pick-up-and-play games, and their popularity skyrocketed in the 2010s thanks to the rise of the mobile gaming sector.</p><h3 id=\"mmorpg\">MMORPG</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"mmorpg\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/mMLNreCFLcs?si=3tgrx6p3fnlSVKRw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>MMORPG stands for massive multiplayer online role-playing game. You’ve probably heard of them – World of Warcraft, anyone? These are titles that allow players from all over the world to exist in the same gaming universe. Players create characters, complete quests, and often build their own narratives in the game.</p><h3 id=\"tower-defense\">Tower Defense</h3><p>Ever wanted to defend your own tower? Now you can. One of the biggest video game genres in 2023 is tower defense, which tasks players with protecting a stronghold against waves of enemies. Players need to manage resources and use tactics to survive the increasingly difficult onslaughts.</p><h3 id=\"shooters\">Shooters</h3><p>We don’t recommend guns in real life but, in the gaming world, anything goes. Shooting games are any titles that involve guns. These include first-person shooters or third-person shooters. They put players at the center of intense combat scenarios. Think you can handle the epic action?</p><h3 id=\"war\">War</h3><p>Want to experience what it’s like to be in a war without having to parachute into a warzone? War games are usually shooters as well, but these take place within a war situation. These are often based on famous wars from the past, but they can also include imaginary war scenarios.</p><h3 id=\"adventure\">Adventure</h3><p>Are you a player in search of video game genres with narrative-driven experiences? If so, the adventure genre is the way to go. Players have the chance to do a range of things in immersive worlds, from solving puzzles to making choices.</p><h3 id=\"survival\">Survival</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"survival\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/9H8nhKTjEa4?si=cs0a3clpsW0OCZWY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Games that give players a chance to gather resources and survive against hostile enemies are referred to as survival games. They are highly immersive, and players get a sense of accomplishment when they manage to overcome adversity.</p><h3 id=\"match-3\">Match 3</h3><p>Match 3 puzzle games task players with aligning identical tiles or objects to clear them from the board, often employing cascading mechanics that lead to chain reactions, requiring strategic planning and pattern recognition.</p><h3 id=\"action\">Action</h3><p>Action is one of the all-time great video game genres, and it has reigned supreme since the dawn of gaming. If you want fast-paced gaming that combines combat and exploration, these games are for you.</p><h3 id=\"mmo\">MMO</h3><p>MMOs are like MMORPGs, but they generally exist solely on mobile. They involve cooperative or competitive gameplay and focus on player-driven experiences.</p><h3 id=\"multiplayer\">Multiplayer</h3><p>Multiplayer games refer to any titles that enable friends or strangers to compete in shared virtual spaces. They encourage social interactions and have boomed in popularity in the internet age. Now, many top games come with a multiplayer option, with GTA V being one of the landmark titles to do this over the last decade.</p><h3 id=\"pvp\">PvP</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"pvp\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/wI3FoRZJeRo?si=oV5wYNM-N45hbCXz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>PvP stands for player vs player, and these titles pit people against one another in a competitive scenario. They encourage skill development and strategy formulation and can foster huge spectrums of ability among players.</p><h3 id=\"rpg\">RPG</h3><p>RPGs have been around for decades, and the genre was made famous by franchises like Final Fantasy. Players can embody characters within fantasy worlds and make decisions that affect the outcome of the story.</p><h3 id=\"strategy\">Strategy</h3><p>Strategy games are any titles that require players to plan and outmaneuver their opponents. The board game Risk is a classic example of this, and it inspired many digital games with similar themes.</p><h3 id=\"castle\">Castle</h3><p>Tower defense games are all about defending a prebuilt structure. Castle games are slightly different in that they combine elements of construction and defense. Your task is to build a sturdy stronghold using the resources at your disposal, and then defend it against enemies. There are loads of tactical elements to consider here, making it one of the up-and-coming video game genres to watch out for.</p><h3 id=\"medieval\">Medieval</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"medieval\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/RbfPJ_wHGKI?si=E91UFOpXyqUs9ufE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>The great thing about video game genres is that they can sometimes transport you to a different time and place. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have lived more than a thousand years ago in medieval times? Now you can with the help of medieval games. These titles almost always include knights and chivalry and often have rich narratives.</p><h3 id=\"solitaire\">Solitaire</h3><p>Solitaire is one of the world’s most recognizable computer games. It was literally the first physical card game to get the digital treatment when Microsoft first started offering it on its computers. Now, there are countless versions to choose from online, each with its own set of unique rules.</p><h3 id=\"puzzle\">Puzzle</h3><p>Puzzle games have been around since way before computers came along. However, they have never been more loved than they are today. The mobile gaming market gave puzzles a new lease of life, and games like Candy Crush sparked a boom in the genre. There’s no doubt that puzzle games are here to stay.</p><h3 id=\"robot\">Robot</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:mecharena}}</p><p> </p><p>Are you a believer that there will be robots everywhere in the future? Artificial intelligence is here, so it seems likely, doesn’t it? In the gaming industry, robot-themed games are already prevalent, and they provide a glimpse into how the world of the future could look.</p><h3 id=\"horror\">Horror</h3><p>There’s nothing quite as scary as a fully immersive horror game. Players who like to scare themselves senseless often turn to this video game genre for thrills. Titles like Silent Hill demonstrated just how frightening the genre can be. With graphics getting even more realistic by the year, there’s no limit to how spinetingling these games will get.</p><h3 id=\"roguelikes\">Roguelikes</h3><p><a href=\"/en/glossary/roguelike-games/\">Roguelikes </a>are an interesting subgenre of games that have some unique characteristics. Players must get through procedurally generated levels. Usually, if you die it is permanent and you must start all over again.</p><h3 id=\"battle-royale\">Battle Royale</h3><p><a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">The battle royale genre</a> blew up recently with the success of games like Fortnite and PUBG. Players compete in an ever-shrinking play area to see who will be the last one standing.</p><h3 id=\"survival-horror\">Survival Horror</h3><p>Survival horror games take the horror genre to the next level and blend survival mechanics with other frightening elements. These titles tend to offer tense and atmospheric experiences.</p><h3 id=\"tactical-rpg\">Tactical RPG</h3><p>A tactical RPG combines strategy and role-playing games. Players usually take part in turn-based battles, with an emphasis on tactics. Players need to have a solid plan to prevail.</p><h3 id=\"open-world-action-rpg\">Open World Action RPG</h3><p>Open world action RPGs are hugely popular, as they give players a sandbox to run around in but also have detailed character progression and storytelling. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best recent examples in the genre, and it was nominated for countless Game of the Year awards.</p><h3 id=\"sandbox-simulation\">Sandbox Simulation</h3><p>Sandbox simulation games were popularized after the immense success of Minecraft. Players basically get the chance to do anything they want within the game’s universe. They can shape their own environment and create their own mini-games and experiences.</p><h3 id=\"stealth-action\">Stealth Action</h3><p>Stealth action games have a heavy focus on avoiding detection from enemies. They require planning and patience and can be incredibly tense. The Metal Gear Solid series offers some of the greatest titles in the genre.</p><h3 id=\"hack-‘n’-slash-rpg\">Hack ‘n’ Slash RPG</h3><p>The hack ‘n’ slash RPG genre involves a lot of fast-paced action gameplay in which players will button bash in battle. However, it also includes RPG mechanics and storytelling to add more depth to the games.</p><h3 id=\"puzzle-platformer\">Puzzle Platformer</h3><p>Puzzle platformer games are great for players who want to navigate platform levels while also having some puzzles to solve along the way.

Become the eponymous Demon Warrior, hunt monsters, absorb their souls, and use magical weapons to turn the tide against the darkness.</p><h3 id=\"god-of-war-3\">God of War 3</h3><p>God of War 3 isn't the latest in the series, but it is the one we feel best encapsulates the hack and slash games spirit. This title has Kratos finally enacting his vengeance on Zeus, setting himself up for the brilliant modern reimagining.</p><h3 id=\"elden-ring\">Elden Ring</h3><p>FromSoftware's latest and greatest in the Souls-like genre, Elden Ring contains a huge world full of challenges. Be warned, a playthrough in this game can easily take over 80 hours, so prepare yourself for what's ahead.</p><h3 id=\"nioh\">Nioh</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"nioh\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/_9PIVYW8u20?si=8QPGbwMtoB_CEzpf\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>A <a href=\"/en/blog/souls-slike-games/\">Souls-like</a> with a heavier emphasis on fast-paced action, Nioh is an interesting experiment that paid off. As a samurai warrior who commands spirits and ninjitsu, Nioh adopts Japanese mythology in a way that's both fascinating and challenging to overcome.</p><h3 id=\"for-honor\">For Honor</h3><p>One of the best multiplayer hack and slash games, For Honor has players competing as different warriors throughout history. From knights to Vikings, barbarians, and samurai, this game is something fantasy battles are made of, and it still maintains a dedicated online player base to battle against.</p><h3 id=\"devil-may-cry-5\">Devil May Cry 5</h3><p>Following the divisive DMC reboot, Devil May Cry 5 is a return to form in hack and slash games. With multiple characters and a break-neck combat system, DMC5 demands mastery while also featuring some of the coolest cutscenes in the business.</p><h3 id=\"diablo-3\">Diablo 3</h3><p>While Diablo 4 is currently on shelves, Diablo 3 has a longer and proven history within hack and slash games. Finding itself with RPG stylings, the Diablo 3 Barbarian class is a hack and slash powerhouse as they strive to make Diablo himself bend the knee.</p><h3 id=\"titan-quest\">Titan Quest</h3><p>If you like Diablo but <a href=\"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/\">horror games</a> aren't really your thing, then Titan Quest could be just what you're looking for. This title pits players against a menagerie of classic monsters like Cyclops' and Gorgons as they battle to become the strongest.</p><h3 id=\"middle-earth:-shadow-of-mordor\">Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/jaScnBSrieY?si=GGv1V0XyNPTpmzis\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>As perhaps the best Middle-earth game around, Shadow of Mordor combines the <i>Batman Arkham</i> battle system with Tolkien's world and an incredible Nemesis enemy framework. The orcs you face in this title have real personalities and traits, which makes it all the more satisfying when you take the head of a long-time foe.</p><h2 id=\"get-your-game-on\">Get Your Game On</h2><p>While the above games illustrate 15 fantastic hack and slash games, they're far from the only great experiences out there.

Other times you want realism and <i>human </i>characters, like you're there at the heart of the action. The most realistic games will do this for you. The games with the best graphics will transport you to another world, offering true escapism and incredible game-play.</p><p>What's the most realistic game and how do you compare realism, landscapes and characters? We're going to take a look at 12 of the most realistic games currently on the market and see what they have to offer.</p><p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:middleraidorc}}</p><p>Note that we've stuck with more <i>classic</i> formats here, but if you like<a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\"> taking part in an MMORPG</a> then head on to our dedicated section for greater realism.</p><h2 id=\"so-what-are-the-top-12-most-realistic-games?\">So What Are the Top 12 Most Realistic Games?</h2><h3 id=\"assetto-corsa\">Assetto Corsa</h3><p>You don't just turn the wheel and go from left to right with Assetto Corsa - this game has got it all going on behind the scenes to create one of the most realistic games around for driving fans. The game replicates real-world physics, car dynamics, and tracks with astonishing accuracy, so whether you're drifting around corners or racing down straightaways you get a more realistic piece of the action. Authentic car models and laser-scanned tracks contribute to the overall realism, making you feel like you're actually behind the wheel.</p><h3 id=\"squad\">Squad</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"squad\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/K7ma076ME8E?si=0PpBtAv1BR9IRcNx\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Do you love shooter games with realistic weapons and authentic mechanisms? If so you'll love Squad, with its focus on teamwork and communication in a military environment. The combat scenarios are very realistic and the communication mechanics, large maps, and realistic weapon behavior all add to the immersion.</p><h3 id=\"red-dead-redemption-2\">Red Dead Redemption 2</h3><p>Red Dead Redemption 2 is such an all round amazing game that it makes pretty much every best game list going, but a list of the most realistic games definitely wouldn't be complete without it. It's particularly good when it comes to realistic depictions of wildlife and ecosystems, where animals interact with each other and the environment realistically. If you love <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">games where you need to survive</a> on your wits, this one's for you.</p><h3 id=\"euro-truck-simulator-2\">Euro Truck Simulator 2</h3><p>Truck driving doesn't sound like a hugely exciting way to spend your down-time, but somehow Euro Truck Simulator 2 manages to turn the mundane task of truck driving into a captivating experience. Experience life on the road as a trucker, navigating the roads, managing cargo, and contending with tricky weather.</p><h3 id=\"gran-turismo-series\">Gran Turismo Series</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"gran-turismo-series\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xq5Rb7TRd20?si=mga0ZQQu44HAQXNM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Driving games lend themselves to being realistic games, as there's so much detail and authenticity that can go into the cars and tracks. The Gran Turismo series shines here, with incredible levels of attention to detail and the use of realistic driving physics to capture the thrill and nuances of real-life racing.</p><h3 id=\"cyberpunk-2077\">Cyberpunk 2077</h3><p>This isn't the most realistic game in that it replicates the real world, but what Cyberpunk 2077 has managed to do is create a hyper-realistic futuristic setting. The attention to detail in Night City, the game's sprawling metropolis, is astounding, with every back alley, neon sign, and facial expression adding to the sense of immersion.</p><h3 id=\"elite-dangerous\">Elite Dangerous</h3><p>It may be difficult to judge the realism of a space exploration game as so much of space is unknown, but we think Elite Dangerous does the cosmos justice. Not only do you get to pilot your own spacecraft but you can trade goods, engage in combat, and explore an accurately modeled Milky Way galaxy. We love the game's attention to celestial details, from star systems to planetary bodies.</p><h3 id=\"farming-simulator-series\">Farming Simulator Series</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"farming-simulator-series\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FpZ6aAhIrbo?si=-kAM_4S1rb8zgywP\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>If you prefer planting and tending crops to tearing it up on the battlefield then you might prefer something a little gentler like the Farming Simulator series. Your challenge is to run a farm, and this means getting stuck into everything from animal husbandry to machinery operation, all with astonishing detail.</p><h3 id=\"the-sims-series\">The Sims Series</h3><p>Bear with us on this one. We don't think that the most realistic game has to mean the game that's visually the most realistic, it could be that the realism lies in the actions of the characters. The whole point of The Sims is that it simulates everyday life - eating meals, going to work, sleeping - and that's what fans love about it. In our book that gives it a place on our list of most realistic video games.</p><h3 id=\"arma-3\">Arma 3</h3><p>For those seeking a realistic military experience, Arma 3 sets the standard for tactical simulation. You'll find yourself right in the middle of authentic combat scenarios, demanding strategic thinking, coordination, and precision. With a dedicated community of modders and an emphasis on teamwork, Arma 3 offers a unique blend of realism and camaraderie, making it a standout choice for fans of military simulations.</p><h3 id=\"microsoft-flight-simulator\">Microsoft Flight Simulator</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"microsoft-flight-simulator\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/p3xp-SnZDoY?si=Caf7NLqMAKkpin4Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>If you grew up wanting to be a pilot or have always fancied having a go at flying a plane then Micorsoft Flight Simulator is about as close as you can get without your pilot license. Renowned for its incredibly detailed and accurate flight simulation, it uses real-world satellite data and advanced physics to create a highly realistic flying experience.</p><h3 id=\"the-last-of-us-part-2\">The Last of Us Part 2</h3><p>The Last of Us Part 2 could well be the most realistic game you'll find when it comes to narrative and humanity. Just as painters have traditionally found it hardest to capture realism in a person's face and eyes, so too have game designers. The Last of Us Part 2 shows what's possible, with such realistic facial expressions that it's possible to tell what a character is thinking just by looking at their face. Using motion capture and a high budget, The Last of Us Part 2 is as close as it gets to capturing a cinematic, realistic story in a video game.</p><p>Taking a look at these games it's clear that the boundaries between the virtual and the real have become increasingly blurred and with every new game released, we're blown away by advances in realism. The sky is definitely not the limit anymore and the only sure thing is that future technology and games will only become progressively more real. Will games eventually become more real than, well, reality? </p>","date":"1/13/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The most realistic games ever","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/story-games.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13663"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/souls-like-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Take a Look at these 10 Best Souls Like Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>When it first launched on the PS3 in 2009, Demon Souls exploded into the mainstream in a way even developer FromSoftware couldn't expect. Followed by the Dark Souls series on multiplatform systems, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now Elden Ring, the success of this new subgenre has only grown.</p><p>Now with many imitators, the range of the best Souls like games is a huge list to sort through. With that in mind, we've narrowed down a top ten list of what we consider the best Souls-like games in 2023 for you to play. We aren't going to include the Dark Souls games, but we will encourage you to memorize that famous Dark Souls 1 line: <i>“Prepare to Die.”</i></p><p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:middleraidorc}}</p><h2 id=\"are-there-any-good-soulslike-games?\">Are There Any Good Soulslike Games?</h2><p>The problem is that there's actually <i>too many</i> of them. Narrowing down this list of the best Souls like games takes a lot of time, a lot of patience, and more deaths than we care to count. Here's what we came up with:</p><h3 id=\"1.-elden-ring\">1. Elden Ring</h3><p>The latest release by FromSoftware in the Souls genre is one we have no choice but to mention first. Elden Ring builds on everything the legendary developer has learned, placing first in the list of best Souls-like games for many players. Offering a huge world filled with secrets, many different playstyles, and some of the toughest bosses yet, Elden Ring is Dark Souls turned up to 11.</p><h3 id=\"2.-hollow-knight\">2. Hollow Knight</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"hollow-knight\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gn4dYk2Hif0?si=Ld2pyGKvLp4b-fl2\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Hollow Knight was the first big breakout 2D game to take inspiration from Souls games. This game is beautiful, it's fast, it's challenging, and if you like to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mac-games/\">download Mac games</a>, it's also available to you. Hollow Knight takes place in a land of strange insect monsters, borrowing heavily from the darkness motifs of the Souls series. This isn't just one of the best Souls-like games, it's one of the best 2D games period.</p><h3 id=\"3.-nioh\">3. Nioh</h3><p>Nioh from Team Ninja was among the first of the Souls like titles to emphasize speed. Battles in Nioh are intense, they require enormous dexterity, and with luck and planning, they can be over in a flash. To some, this combination can be overwhelming, to others, it makes for a standout in the list of best Souls like games.</p><h3 id=\"4.-star-wars-jedi:-fallen-order\">4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order</h3><p>When EA attained the Star Wars license in 2013, many feared it would ruin a legacy of formerly great Star Wars games. Fallen Order from developer Respawn Entertainment showed that this wasn't always true. Blending Souls gameplay in a Star Wars universe, this game swapped magic for the Force and swords for lightsabers. Now with an equally fantastic sequel, this is among the best Souls like games to enjoy.</p><h3 id=\"5.-bloodborne\">5. Bloodborne</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"bloodborne\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/NJxi_w6jwRg?si=eNtNmIlhV132EFA4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Still solely available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Bloodborne took the souls idea and leaned into Lovecraftian stylings. Playing as a hunter in a city losing its humanity, Bloodborne oozes with atmosphere while offering a more aggressive take on Souls combat. There's only one shield in this game, and it's not something you want to use. While we hope for a PS5 remaster, we still understand why many consider this among the best Souls-like games of all time.</p><h3 id=\"6.-the-surge\">6. The Surge</h3><p>From developer Deck13 Interactive comes The Surge and its sequel, The Surge 2. These games take a sci-fi approach to the Souls formula, trading armor for exoskeletons and high-tech equipment. Horror still plays a big part in The Surge, and the world-building helps in making this one of the best Souls like games around. The Surge can get you killed faster than most games on this list, so potential challengers beware.</p><h3 id=\"7.-blasphemous\">7. Blasphemous</h3><p>The second 2D game on this list, Blasphemous is a title with a pixelated and yet still horrifying art style. Developed by Spanish studio The Game Kitchen, Blasphemous takes inspiration from real religions, only shifted to a dark and terrifying place. With parry mechanics and a methodical gameplay style, this is one of the best Souls like games that emphasize taking a careful approach and watching every shadow. This is also one of the <a href=\"/en/games/os/ios-games/\">games played on iOS</a> systems, so Apple gamers can get in on the action.</p><h3 id=\"8.-code-vein\">8. Code Vein</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"code-vein\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/TdbE7Yd7FpY?si=PemBneEXx18w13sg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>You've got anime in my Dark Souls! Code Vein is an interesting experiment from Bandai Namco Studios, and one we feel pays off. Code Vein is easily one of the best Souls like games for its unique take, stylish action, and robust character creation tools. The coop in Code Vein is also spectacular, so if you want to go ahead with company, this could be one of the best Souls likes games for you.</p><h3 id=\"9.-mortal-shell\">9. Mortal Shell</h3><p>From Cold Symmetry comes Mortal Shell, an interesting title from one of the smaller developers on this list. Mortal Shell has the player place their souls in different \"shells\", each offering different abilities and weapons. A shorter game with a focused vision, Mortal Shell is proof that the best Souls like games don't need the biggest budgets.</p><h3 id=\"10.-sekiro:-shadows-die-twice\">10. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice</h3><p>FromSoftware's Sekiro takes an interesting direction in Souls gameplay, with a focus on only one main weapon - the katana. While some players found this limiting, others appreciated how perfectly it allowed enemy and boss fights to be crafted. Pulling off a victory against the challenges in this game provides some of the most satisfying feelings gaming can produce, making this one of the best Souls-like games you can enjoy today.</p><h2 id=\"what-is-considered-to-be-the-best-soulslike-game?\">What Is Considered to Be the Best Soulslike Game?</h2><p>This is a matter of opinion, but to many players today who like an open world, Elden Ring is considered among the best Souls like games, if not the best.</p><h2 id=\"what-title-is-most-like-souls-like-games?\">What Title Is Most Like Souls Like Games?</h2><p>Soulslike is one of those terms that can be a little ambiguous. It overlaps with genres like <a href=\"/en/blog/metroidvania-games/\">Metroidvanias</a>. The best Souls like games are about making you feel that sense of pressure and reward, and in this, <i>Hollow Knight</i> absolutely qualifies.</p><p>With all the above at your disposal, you’re equipped to find at least one in the long list of Souls like games that perfectly fit your preferred style. Just remember that death is around every corner, but pay attention, and you’ll spot more traps than you’ll fall prey to. The best games like Dark Souls require patience, and even if you’re not a patient person now, you will be once you get a couple of these titles under your belt!</p>","date":"8/24/2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 10 Best Souls Like Games","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/souls-like-games-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16408"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/esports-teams/"},"strings":{"title":"Checking Out the World’s Best Esports Teams","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>From humble beginnings in small local tournaments, modern eSports has become an international phenomenon worth billions.

PUBG</h3><p>We couldn't create a list of games like Fortnite and not include PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), can we?

Call of Duty: Warzone</h3><p>If you love the fast-action gunplay of Call of Duty then you'll love Warzone, the franchise's battle royale mode.

Firestorm is Battlefield V's take on the battle royale genre battle royale mode - think Battlefield's signature destructible environments but set in a battle royale context.</p><h3 id=\"5.-realm-royale\">5. Realm Royale</h3><p>It's battle royale, but not quite as you know it. Realm Royale introduces a fantasy twist where you get to forge your own weapons and even turn into a chicken after being defeated, giving you a second chance at survival.</p><h3 id=\"6.-hyper-scape\">6. Hyper Scape</h3><p>Ubisoft's Hyper Scape gives the battle royale format a futuristic context, meaning the range of weapons and features is fuller and more interesting than in some current-day game scenarios. You can even watch and influence matches through a Twitch integration.</p><h3 id=\"7.-spellbreak\">7.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout</h3><p>If you enjoy a battle of the mind rather than a full arsenal shoot out then you'll love this quirky take on battle royale.

Darwin Project adds an element of unpredictability by introducing a Show Director who can influence the game by creating obstacles or aiding players.</p><h3 id=\"10.-warface:-battle-royale\">10.

Yep - you read that right - spoons. This game uses kitchen utensils and cookware as weapons but still manages to combine realistic ballistics.</p><h2 id=\"fortnite:-building-a-legacy\">Fortnite: Building a Legacy</h2><p>Fortnite was originally going to be a cooperative multiplayer game known as Save the World, where players worked together to defend against waves of zombie-like creatures. It was the introduction of the battle royale mode though that really marked a turning point in Fortnite's trajectory. Drawing inspiration from games like PUBG, Fortnite Battle Royale was released in 2017 and quickly gained traction for its accessible approach to the genre. Competitors followed suit, with multiple games like Fornite on Chrome, PlayStation and other consoles appearing over the next few years.</p><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6evDWowLMbE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Fortnite's meteoric rise to fame can be attributed to several factors, including its accessibility, unique building mechanics, and cross-platform compatibility. Players love the Minecraft-inspired building aspect too - Fortnite isn't just about fighting, you have to use your wits to create cover, bridges, and other structures all in the heat of battle.</p><h2 id=\"accessibility-and-cross-platform-play\">Accessibility and Cross-Platform Play</h2><p>Absolutely key to Fortnite's success has been its accessibility. While other 1v1 games like Fortnite are paid for, Fortnite operates on a free-to-play model, meaning anyone can join in.</p><p>This has been one of the reasons it has been so popular with younger audiences, who don't have the cash to spend on gaming. Making the game available to wide audiences like this has helped it to establish itself and be played by millions.</p><p>Fortnite also played a great hand by making the game available across pretty much any platform you can think of. This means that whether you play <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mac-games/\">games on a Mac</a>, PC, console, or even on your mobile, you can still jump in and play Fortnite with friends. You can even play a Fortnite text-based game <a href=\"/en/games/platform/html5-games/\">based on HTML5</a>.</p><h2 id=\"evolving-map-and-storytelling\">Evolving Map and Storytelling</h2><p>Another one of the reasons that Epic Games has had so much success with Fortnite is that they understand that a game has to be constantly evolving - you cannot afford to stand still, or people will move on to one of the other many free games like Fortnite.</p><p>While other games like Fortnite online have a static landscape, Fortnite has an ever-changing map, evolving storylines, and live in-game events to keep players interested. Constant updates and plenty of seasonal content means that you feel like the Fortnite world is truly evolving, making for a much more immersive experience as a player.</p><p>Other games that are like Fortnite can take away plenty of lessons from Fortnite's journey. Perhaps the key is the idea of always listening to players and considering what will give them the best possible experience.</p><p>Constant innovation, a live service approach, and intriguing gameplay mechanics have undoubtedly secured it the spot of being <i>one of the best </i>battle royale games of all time.</p>","date":"8/21/2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"11 Games like Fortnite","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/fortnite-games-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16399"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-story-games/"},"strings":{"title":"From Pixels to Plot Twists: 15 Of The Best Story Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>The world of gaming has evolved significantly since the days when hi-tech was the likes of Breakout or Pong and you had to play rather simple games, wherever you could find them.</p><p>Nowadays, gaming allows you to step into many other realms.

This version is available on both PS4 and PS5 consoles, with its original price at about $29.90. Our friends over at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/03/17/black-desert-online-review\" rel=\"nofollow\">IGN</a> mentioned that back in 2017 they gave this game a score of 7/10, which might be a good sign if you're still on the fence whether or not to give this game a shot.</p><h3 id=\"2.-cats-hidden-in-paris\">2. Cats Hidden in Paris</h3><p id=\"pokémon-unite\">Credit's go to where credit's due - our colleagues over at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://gamerant.com/best-free-pc-games/\" rel=\"nofollow\">gamerant</a> actually introduced us to this unique, and very different type of game. </p><p id=\"pokémon-unite\">Cats Hidden in Paris is a beautifully simple, <i>hand-drawn</i> game where the goal is exactly as it seems - you need to find cats hiding in plain site. It might sound easy but it does require some 20/20 vision and focusing on your part. Making the game all the more unique, and a level or two above similar puzzles you might find in your local papers, are the super cute meowing sounds and easy-listening soundtrack!</p><p id=\"pokémon-unite\">This game is a definite recommendation for anyone who loves some laid back fun, and for its definitive uniqueness it deserves our number one of the top spots on our list as a genuinely different type of f2p game.</p><h3 id=\"3.-scholar’s-mate-–-first-move\">3. Scholar’s Mate – First Move</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC</li></ul><p>This game might be another pick that is not necessarily one you'd expect on such a list - but we believe it's one that deserves to be the first in line, for all the right reasons. Scholar’s Mate – First Move is a free game developed by JanduSoft, an indie game developer. The game is a mind boggling, thrilling experience where you wake up disoriented, in a psychiatric hospital. Your aim, playing as Judith, is to find a way out. If you're into free horror games, this is definitely one for you! </p><p>We should also give credit to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.indiegamebundles.com/best-new-free-games-on-steam-july-4-2023/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Indie Game Bundles</a> who point out that this is a <i>prologue </i>to the upcoming, full versioned game.</p><h3 id=\"4.-multiversus\">4.

The title from Player First Games is currently in open beta, with a full release expected in early 2024. It’s a fighting game that features lots of famous characters such as Batman, Bugs Bunny, Arya Stark, and even Shaggy!</p><h3 id=\"5.-overwatch-2\">5. Overwatch 2</h3><ul><li>Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S</li></ul><p>Overwatch is one of the landmark games of the last decade, and it played a massive part in helping the eSports industry to become the booming giant it is today. Blizzard Entertainment has now followed that up with Overwatch 2. The new title is already one of the best F2P games on the market. It’s like its predecessor with a few key improvements, such as enhanced graphics, thankfully.</p><h3 id=\"6.-summoners-war:-chronicles\">6. Summoners War: Chronicles</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC, Mobile</li></ul><p>Summoners War: Chronicles looks set to be one of the best games available on PC in 2023. The action RPG was released at the end of 2022 and has already garnered an enormous following. It’s a follow-up to Summoners War: Sky Arena, and explores the conflicts that ended up leading to the creation of that world. If you’re looking for free to play PC games - then definitely give this one a try.</p><h3 id=\"7.-kartrider:-drift\">7. KartRider: Drift</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC</li></ul><p>There aren’t that many F2P racing games to choose from, so KartRider: Drift has the potential to be the best F2P games on the market in its genre. It’s a <a href=\"/en/blog/cross-platform-games/\">cross-platform title</a>, meaning you can play against friends who use different devices. The game was just released in March 2023 and has already attracted a lot of interest.</p><h3 id=\"8.-block-n-load-2\">8. Block N Load 2</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC</li></ul><p>Block N Load 2 is the long-awaited sequel to its highly acclaimed predecessor. Players participate in a tactical battle in which everything they build or destroy has an impact on the outcome of the game. This title is set for release later in 2023 and is likely to generate a lot of hype, so keep an eye open for that one!</p><h3 id=\"9.-ufl\">9. UFL</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S</li></ul><p>UFL is another brand-new F2P game, and it’s a soccer title that could even rival the likes of FIFA. There haven’t been many successful simulators of the sport other than FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer over the years, and this one is threatening to upset the apple cart. It will be very interesting to see if it can achieve doing just that.</p><h3 id=\"10.-honkai:-star-rail\">10.

It’s a unique concept in the realm of F2P games, so it could potentially be a refreshing change from some of the overly used genres.</p><h3 id=\"11.-operation:-harsh-doorstop\">11. Operation: Harsh Doorstop</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PC, Mobile</li></ul><p>For players searching for a new <i>shooter sandbox</i>, Operation: Harsh Doorstop could be an exciting choice. The game from Drakeling Labs was released in February 2023 and has garnered mainly positive reviews, and has even been compared to mod-friendly games like Ravenfield.</p><h3 id=\"12.-star-wars:-hunters\">12. Star Wars: Hunters</h3><ul><li>Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Mobile</li></ul><p>The Star Wars universe is constantly expanding, and gamers have a multitude of options (and opinions...). The pick of the F2P games in George Lucas’s world has to be Star Wars: Hunters, which is available on Switch and mobile devices. The game is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, and will involve players competing together in <i>team-based multiplayer battles. </i>Sounds pretty exciting, if you ask us.</p><h3 id=\"13.-fall-guys\">13. Fall Guys</h3><ul><li>Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch</li></ul><p>Fall Guys was released in 2020, but believe it or not, it only became a free to play game <i>recently</i>. This is an excellent party game in which players have to compete over a range of challenges to be the last avatar standing. It’s a great game for either playing alone or with friends and is available on almost every platform. It can be frustrating at times, but winning an event will fill you with some major satisfaction.</p><h3 id=\"14.-phantasy-star-online-2\">14.

These are titles that can be played quickly and aren’t too taxing for players. They’re sometimes referred to as pick-up-and-play games, and their popularity skyrocketed in the 2010s thanks to the rise of the mobile gaming sector.</p><h3 id=\"mmorpg\">MMORPG</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"mmorpg\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/mMLNreCFLcs?si=3tgrx6p3fnlSVKRw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>MMORPG stands for massive multiplayer online role-playing game. You’ve probably heard of them – World of Warcraft, anyone? These are titles that allow players from all over the world to exist in the same gaming universe. Players create characters, complete quests, and often build their own narratives in the game.</p><h3 id=\"tower-defense\">Tower Defense</h3><p>Ever wanted to defend your own tower? Now you can. One of the biggest video game genres in 2023 is tower defense, which tasks players with protecting a stronghold against waves of enemies. Players need to manage resources and use tactics to survive the increasingly difficult onslaughts.</p><h3 id=\"shooters\">Shooters</h3><p>We don’t recommend guns in real life but, in the gaming world, anything goes. Shooting games are any titles that involve guns. These include first-person shooters or third-person shooters. They put players at the center of intense combat scenarios. Think you can handle the epic action?</p><h3 id=\"war\">War</h3><p>Want to experience what it’s like to be in a war without having to parachute into a warzone? War games are usually shooters as well, but these take place within a war situation. These are often based on famous wars from the past, but they can also include imaginary war scenarios.</p><h3 id=\"adventure\">Adventure</h3><p>Are you a player in search of video game genres with narrative-driven experiences? If so, the adventure genre is the way to go. Players have the chance to do a range of things in immersive worlds, from solving puzzles to making choices.</p><h3 id=\"survival\">Survival</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"survival\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/9H8nhKTjEa4?si=cs0a3clpsW0OCZWY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Games that give players a chance to gather resources and survive against hostile enemies are referred to as survival games. They are highly immersive, and players get a sense of accomplishment when they manage to overcome adversity.</p><h3 id=\"match-3\">Match 3</h3><p>Match 3 puzzle games task players with aligning identical tiles or objects to clear them from the board, often employing cascading mechanics that lead to chain reactions, requiring strategic planning and pattern recognition.</p><h3 id=\"action\">Action</h3><p>Action is one of the all-time great video game genres, and it has reigned supreme since the dawn of gaming. If you want fast-paced gaming that combines combat and exploration, these games are for you.</p><h3 id=\"mmo\">MMO</h3><p>MMOs are like MMORPGs, but they generally exist solely on mobile. They involve cooperative or competitive gameplay and focus on player-driven experiences.</p><h3 id=\"multiplayer\">Multiplayer</h3><p>Multiplayer games refer to any titles that enable friends or strangers to compete in shared virtual spaces. They encourage social interactions and have boomed in popularity in the internet age. Now, many top games come with a multiplayer option, with GTA V being one of the landmark titles to do this over the last decade.</p><h3 id=\"pvp\">PvP</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"pvp\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/wI3FoRZJeRo?si=oV5wYNM-N45hbCXz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>PvP stands for player vs player, and these titles pit people against one another in a competitive scenario. They encourage skill development and strategy formulation and can foster huge spectrums of ability among players.</p><h3 id=\"rpg\">RPG</h3><p>RPGs have been around for decades, and the genre was made famous by franchises like Final Fantasy. Players can embody characters within fantasy worlds and make decisions that affect the outcome of the story.</p><h3 id=\"strategy\">Strategy</h3><p>Strategy games are any titles that require players to plan and outmaneuver their opponents. The board game Risk is a classic example of this, and it inspired many digital games with similar themes.</p><h3 id=\"castle\">Castle</h3><p>Tower defense games are all about defending a prebuilt structure. Castle games are slightly different in that they combine elements of construction and defense. Your task is to build a sturdy stronghold using the resources at your disposal, and then defend it against enemies. There are loads of tactical elements to consider here, making it one of the up-and-coming video game genres to watch out for.</p><h3 id=\"medieval\">Medieval</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"medieval\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/RbfPJ_wHGKI?si=E91UFOpXyqUs9ufE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>The great thing about video game genres is that they can sometimes transport you to a different time and place. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have lived more than a thousand years ago in medieval times? Now you can with the help of medieval games. These titles almost always include knights and chivalry and often have rich narratives.</p><h3 id=\"solitaire\">Solitaire</h3><p>Solitaire is one of the world’s most recognizable computer games. It was literally the first physical card game to get the digital treatment when Microsoft first started offering it on its computers. Now, there are countless versions to choose from online, each with its own set of unique rules.</p><h3 id=\"puzzle\">Puzzle</h3><p>Puzzle games have been around since way before computers came along. However, they have never been more loved than they are today. The mobile gaming market gave puzzles a new lease of life, and games like Candy Crush sparked a boom in the genre. There’s no doubt that puzzle games are here to stay.</p><h3 id=\"robot\">Robot</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:mecharena}}</p><p> </p><p>Are you a believer that there will be robots everywhere in the future? Artificial intelligence is here, so it seems likely, doesn’t it? In the gaming industry, robot-themed games are already prevalent, and they provide a glimpse into how the world of the future could look.</p><h3 id=\"horror\">Horror</h3><p>There’s nothing quite as scary as a fully immersive horror game. Players who like to scare themselves senseless often turn to this video game genre for thrills. Titles like Silent Hill demonstrated just how frightening the genre can be. With graphics getting even more realistic by the year, there’s no limit to how spinetingling these games will get.</p><h3 id=\"roguelikes\">Roguelikes</h3><p><a href=\"/en/glossary/roguelike-games/\">Roguelikes </a>are an interesting subgenre of games that have some unique characteristics. Players must get through procedurally generated levels. Usually, if you die it is permanent and you must start all over again.</p><h3 id=\"battle-royale\">Battle Royale</h3><p><a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">The battle royale genre</a> blew up recently with the success of games like Fortnite and PUBG. Players compete in an ever-shrinking play area to see who will be the last one standing.</p><h3 id=\"survival-horror\">Survival Horror</h3><p>Survival horror games take the horror genre to the next level and blend survival mechanics with other frightening elements. These titles tend to offer tense and atmospheric experiences.</p><h3 id=\"tactical-rpg\">Tactical RPG</h3><p>A tactical RPG combines strategy and role-playing games. Players usually take part in turn-based battles, with an emphasis on tactics. Players need to have a solid plan to prevail.</p><h3 id=\"open-world-action-rpg\">Open World Action RPG</h3><p>Open world action RPGs are hugely popular, as they give players a sandbox to run around in but also have detailed character progression and storytelling. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best recent examples in the genre, and it was nominated for countless Game of the Year awards.</p><h3 id=\"sandbox-simulation\">Sandbox Simulation</h3><p>Sandbox simulation games were popularized after the immense success of Minecraft. Players basically get the chance to do anything they want within the game’s universe. They can shape their own environment and create their own mini-games and experiences.</p><h3 id=\"stealth-action\">Stealth Action</h3><p>Stealth action games have a heavy focus on avoiding detection from enemies. They require planning and patience and can be incredibly tense. The Metal Gear Solid series offers some of the greatest titles in the genre.</p><h3 id=\"hack-‘n’-slash-rpg\">Hack ‘n’ Slash RPG</h3><p>The hack ‘n’ slash RPG genre involves a lot of fast-paced action gameplay in which players will button bash in battle.

Pick one of three characters, and get ready to brag if you do manage to make it to the end.</p><h3 id=\"katana-zero\">Katana Zero</h3><p>Combining gorgeous 2D graphics with a rewarding time-rewind mechanic, Katana Zero was a breakout hit few saw coming. Some hack and slash games like to do something different, and Katana Zero stands out for just how far it takes its gameplay loop.</p><h3 id=\"hades\">Hades</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"hades\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/91t0ha9x0AE?si=8AQiG_Nz12Ts86P1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>A well-written <a href=\"/en/glossary/roguelike-games/\">roguelike game</a>, Hades was considered by many as one of the best hack and slash games released in 2018. Each run in Hades is different, as boons from Greek gods aid the hero in escaping Hades for the free world above.</p><h3 id=\"ninja-gaiden:-master-collection\">Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection</h3><p>The 3D Ninja Gaiden games borrowed the difficulty of their 2D cousins while maintaining the action-heavy spirit. Some hack and slash games take no prisoners, and any of the Ninja Gaiden titles in this collection illustrate this point perfectly.</p><h3 id=\"onimusha:-warlords\">Onimusha: Warlords</h3><p>Originally released for the PS2, Onimusha: Warlords still stood the test of time when its remaster hit PC. Become the eponymous Demon Warrior, hunt monsters, absorb their souls, and use magical weapons to turn the tide against the darkness.</p><h3 id=\"god-of-war-3\">God of War 3</h3><p>God of War 3 isn't the latest in the series, but it is the one we feel best encapsulates the hack and slash games spirit. This title has Kratos finally enacting his vengeance on Zeus, setting himself up for the brilliant modern reimagining.</p><h3 id=\"elden-ring\">Elden Ring</h3><p>FromSoftware's latest and greatest in the Souls-like genre, Elden Ring contains a huge world full of challenges. Be warned, a playthrough in this game can easily take over 80 hours, so prepare yourself for what's ahead.</p><h3 id=\"nioh\">Nioh</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"nioh\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/_9PIVYW8u20?si=8QPGbwMtoB_CEzpf\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>A <a href=\"/en/blog/souls-slike-games/\">Souls-like</a> with a heavier emphasis on fast-paced action, Nioh is an interesting experiment that paid off. As a samurai warrior who commands spirits and ninjitsu, Nioh adopts Japanese mythology in a way that's both fascinating and challenging to overcome.</p><h3 id=\"for-honor\">For Honor</h3><p>One of the best multiplayer hack and slash games, For Honor has players competing as different warriors throughout history. From knights to Vikings, barbarians, and samurai, this game is something fantasy battles are made of, and it still maintains a dedicated online player base to battle against.</p><h3 id=\"devil-may-cry-5\">Devil May Cry 5</h3><p>Following the divisive DMC reboot, Devil May Cry 5 is a return to form in hack and slash games. With multiple characters and a break-neck combat system, DMC5 demands mastery while also featuring some of the coolest cutscenes in the business.</p><h3 id=\"diablo-3\">Diablo 3</h3><p>While Diablo 4 is currently on shelves, Diablo 3 has a longer and proven history within hack and slash games. Finding itself with RPG stylings, the Diablo 3 Barbarian class is a hack and slash powerhouse as they strive to make Diablo himself bend the knee.</p><h3 id=\"titan-quest\">Titan Quest</h3><p>If you like Diablo but <a href=\"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/\">horror games</a> aren't really your thing, then Titan Quest could be just what you're looking for. This title pits players against a menagerie of classic monsters like Cyclops' and Gorgons as they battle to become the strongest.</p><h3 id=\"middle-earth:-shadow-of-mordor\">Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/jaScnBSrieY?si=GGv1V0XyNPTpmzis\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>As perhaps the best Middle-earth game around, Shadow of Mordor combines the <i>Batman Arkham</i> battle system with Tolkien's world and an incredible Nemesis enemy framework. The orcs you face in this title have real personalities and traits, which makes it all the more satisfying when you take the head of a long-time foe.</p><h2 id=\"get-your-game-on\">Get Your Game On</h2><p>While the above games illustrate 15 fantastic hack and slash games, they're far from the only great experiences out there. With hack and slash combined with so many genres, there are hundreds of experiences in which hack and slash ideals can be enjoyed.

Other times you want realism and <i>human </i>characters, like you're there at the heart of the action. The most realistic games will do this for you. The games with the best graphics will transport you to another world, offering true escapism and incredible game-play.</p><p>What's the most realistic game and how do you compare realism, landscapes and characters? We're going to take a look at 12 of the most realistic games currently on the market and see what they have to offer.</p><p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:middleraidorc}}</p><p>Note that we've stuck with more <i>classic</i> formats here, but if you like<a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\"> taking part in an MMORPG</a> then head on to our dedicated section for greater realism.</p><h2 id=\"so-what-are-the-top-12-most-realistic-games?\">So What Are the Top 12 Most Realistic Games?</h2><h3 id=\"assetto-corsa\">Assetto Corsa</h3><p>You don't just turn the wheel and go from left to right with Assetto Corsa - this game has got it all going on behind the scenes to create one of the most realistic games around for driving fans. The game replicates real-world physics, car dynamics, and tracks with astonishing accuracy, so whether you're drifting around corners or racing down straightaways you get a more realistic piece of the action. Authentic car models and laser-scanned tracks contribute to the overall realism, making you feel like you're actually behind the wheel.</p><h3 id=\"squad\">Squad</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"squad\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/K7ma076ME8E?si=0PpBtAv1BR9IRcNx\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Do you love shooter games with realistic weapons and authentic mechanisms? If so you'll love Squad, with its focus on teamwork and communication in a military environment. The combat scenarios are very realistic and the communication mechanics, large maps, and realistic weapon behavior all add to the immersion.</p><h3 id=\"red-dead-redemption-2\">Red Dead Redemption 2</h3><p>Red Dead Redemption 2 is such an all round amazing game that it makes pretty much every best game list going, but a list of the most realistic games definitely wouldn't be complete without it. It's particularly good when it comes to realistic depictions of wildlife and ecosystems, where animals interact with each other and the environment realistically. If you love <a href=\"/en/games/genre/survival-games/\">games where you need to survive</a> on your wits, this one's for you.</p><h3 id=\"euro-truck-simulator-2\">Euro Truck Simulator 2</h3><p>Truck driving doesn't sound like a hugely exciting way to spend your down-time, but somehow Euro Truck Simulator 2 manages to turn the mundane task of truck driving into a captivating experience. Experience life on the road as a trucker, navigating the roads, managing cargo, and contending with tricky weather.</p><h3 id=\"gran-turismo-series\">Gran Turismo Series</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"gran-turismo-series\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xq5Rb7TRd20?si=mga0ZQQu44HAQXNM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Driving games lend themselves to being realistic games, as there's so much detail and authenticity that can go into the cars and tracks. The Gran Turismo series shines here, with incredible levels of attention to detail and the use of realistic driving physics to capture the thrill and nuances of real-life racing.</p><h3 id=\"cyberpunk-2077\">Cyberpunk 2077</h3><p>This isn't the most realistic game in that it replicates the real world, but what Cyberpunk 2077 has managed to do is create a hyper-realistic futuristic setting. The attention to detail in Night City, the game's sprawling metropolis, is astounding, with every back alley, neon sign, and facial expression adding to the sense of immersion.</p><h3 id=\"elite-dangerous\">Elite Dangerous</h3><p>It may be difficult to judge the realism of a space exploration game as so much of space is unknown, but we think Elite Dangerous does the cosmos justice. Not only do you get to pilot your own spacecraft but you can trade goods, engage in combat, and explore an accurately modeled Milky Way galaxy. We love the game's attention to celestial details, from star systems to planetary bodies.</p><h3 id=\"farming-simulator-series\">Farming Simulator Series</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"farming-simulator-series\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/FpZ6aAhIrbo?si=-kAM_4S1rb8zgywP\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>If you prefer planting and tending crops to tearing it up on the battlefield then you might prefer something a little gentler like the Farming Simulator series. Your challenge is to run a farm, and this means getting stuck into everything from animal husbandry to machinery operation, all with astonishing detail.</p><h3 id=\"the-sims-series\">The Sims Series</h3><p>Bear with us on this one. We don't think that the most realistic game has to mean the game that's visually the most realistic, it could be that the realism lies in the actions of the characters. The whole point of The Sims is that it simulates everyday life - eating meals, going to work, sleeping - and that's what fans love about it. In our book that gives it a place on our list of most realistic video games.</p><h3 id=\"arma-3\">Arma 3</h3><p>For those seeking a realistic military experience, Arma 3 sets the standard for tactical simulation. You'll find yourself right in the middle of authentic combat scenarios, demanding strategic thinking, coordination, and precision. With a dedicated community of modders and an emphasis on teamwork, Arma 3 offers a unique blend of realism and camaraderie, making it a standout choice for fans of military simulations.</p><h3 id=\"microsoft-flight-simulator\">Microsoft Flight Simulator</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"microsoft-flight-simulator\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/p3xp-SnZDoY?si=Caf7NLqMAKkpin4Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>If you grew up wanting to be a pilot or have always fancied having a go at flying a plane then Micorsoft Flight Simulator is about as close as you can get without your pilot license. Renowned for its incredibly detailed and accurate flight simulation, it uses real-world satellite data and advanced physics to create a highly realistic flying experience.</p><h3 id=\"the-last-of-us-part-2\">The Last of Us Part 2</h3><p>The Last of Us Part 2 could well be the most realistic game you'll find when it comes to narrative and humanity. Just as painters have traditionally found it hardest to capture realism in a person's face and eyes, so too have game designers. The Last of Us Part 2 shows what's possible, with such realistic facial expressions that it's possible to tell what a character is thinking just by looking at their face. Using motion capture and a high budget, The Last of Us Part 2 is as close as it gets to capturing a cinematic, realistic story in a video game.</p><p>Taking a look at these games it's clear that the boundaries between the virtual and the real have become increasingly blurred and with every new game released, we're blown away by advances in realism. The sky is definitely not the limit anymore and the only sure thing is that future technology and games will only become progressively more real. Will games eventually become more real than, well, reality? </p>","date":"1/13/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The most realistic games ever","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/story-games.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13663"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/souls-like-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Take a Look at these 10 Best Souls Like Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>When it first launched on the PS3 in 2009, Demon Souls exploded into the mainstream in a way even developer FromSoftware couldn't expect. Followed by the Dark Souls series on multiplatform systems, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now Elden Ring, the success of this new subgenre has only grown.</p><p>Now with many imitators, the range of the best Souls like games is a huge list to sort through. With that in mind, we've narrowed down a top ten list of what we consider the best Souls-like games in 2023 for you to play. We aren't going to include the Dark Souls games, but we will encourage you to memorize that famous Dark Souls 1 line: <i>“Prepare to Die.”</i></p><p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:middleraidorc}}</p><h2 id=\"are-there-any-good-soulslike-games?\">Are There Any Good Soulslike Games?</h2><p>The problem is that there's actually <i>too many</i> of them. Narrowing down this list of the best Souls like games takes a lot of time, a lot of patience, and more deaths than we care to count. Here's what we came up with:</p><h3 id=\"1.-elden-ring\">1. Elden Ring</h3><p>The latest release by FromSoftware in the Souls genre is one we have no choice but to mention first. Elden Ring builds on everything the legendary developer has learned, placing first in the list of best Souls-like games for many players. Offering a huge world filled with secrets, many different playstyles, and some of the toughest bosses yet, Elden Ring is Dark Souls turned up to 11.</p><h3 id=\"2.-hollow-knight\">2. Hollow Knight</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"hollow-knight\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gn4dYk2Hif0?si=Ld2pyGKvLp4b-fl2\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Hollow Knight was the first big breakout 2D game to take inspiration from Souls games. This game is beautiful, it's fast, it's challenging, and if you like to <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mac-games/\">download Mac games</a>, it's also available to you. Hollow Knight takes place in a land of strange insect monsters, borrowing heavily from the darkness motifs of the Souls series. This isn't just one of the best Souls-like games, it's one of the best 2D games period.</p><h3 id=\"3.-nioh\">3. Nioh</h3><p>Nioh from Team Ninja was among the first of the Souls like titles to emphasize speed. Battles in Nioh are intense, they require enormous dexterity, and with luck and planning, they can be over in a flash. To some, this combination can be overwhelming, to others, it makes for a standout in the list of best Souls like games.</p><h3 id=\"4.-star-wars-jedi:-fallen-order\">4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order</h3><p>When EA attained the Star Wars license in 2013, many feared it would ruin a legacy of formerly great Star Wars games. Fallen Order from developer Respawn Entertainment showed that this wasn't always true. Blending Souls gameplay in a Star Wars universe, this game swapped magic for the Force and swords for lightsabers. Now with an equally fantastic sequel, this is among the best Souls like games to enjoy.</p><h3 id=\"5.-bloodborne\">5. Bloodborne</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"bloodborne\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/NJxi_w6jwRg?si=eNtNmIlhV132EFA4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Still solely available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Bloodborne took the souls idea and leaned into Lovecraftian stylings. Playing as a hunter in a city losing its humanity, Bloodborne oozes with atmosphere while offering a more aggressive take on Souls combat. There's only one shield in this game, and it's not something you want to use. While we hope for a PS5 remaster, we still understand why many consider this among the best Souls-like games of all time.</p><h3 id=\"6.-the-surge\">6. The Surge</h3><p>From developer Deck13 Interactive comes The Surge and its sequel, The Surge 2. These games take a sci-fi approach to the Souls formula, trading armor for exoskeletons and high-tech equipment. Horror still plays a big part in The Surge, and the world-building helps in making this one of the best Souls like games around. The Surge can get you killed faster than most games on this list, so potential challengers beware.</p><h3 id=\"7.-blasphemous\">7. Blasphemous</h3><p>The second 2D game on this list, Blasphemous is a title with a pixelated and yet still horrifying art style. Developed by Spanish studio The Game Kitchen, Blasphemous takes inspiration from real religions, only shifted to a dark and terrifying place. With parry mechanics and a methodical gameplay style, this is one of the best Souls like games that emphasize taking a careful approach and watching every shadow. This is also one of the <a href=\"/en/games/os/ios-games/\">games played on iOS</a> systems, so Apple gamers can get in on the action.</p><h3 id=\"8.-code-vein\">8. Code Vein</h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\" id=\"code-vein\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/TdbE7Yd7FpY?si=PemBneEXx18w13sg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>You've got anime in my Dark Souls! Code Vein is an interesting experiment from Bandai Namco Studios, and one we feel pays off. Code Vein is easily one of the best Souls like games for its unique take, stylish action, and robust character creation tools. The coop in Code Vein is also spectacular, so if you want to go ahead with company, this could be one of the best Souls likes games for you.</p><h3 id=\"9.-mortal-shell\">9. Mortal Shell</h3><p>From Cold Symmetry comes Mortal Shell, an interesting title from one of the smaller developers on this list. Mortal Shell has the player place their souls in different \"shells\", each offering different abilities and weapons. A shorter game with a focused vision, Mortal Shell is proof that the best Souls like games don't need the biggest budgets.</p><h3 id=\"10.-sekiro:-shadows-die-twice\">10. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice</h3><p>FromSoftware's Sekiro takes an interesting direction in Souls gameplay, with a focus on only one main weapon - the katana. While some players found this limiting, others appreciated how perfectly it allowed enemy and boss fights to be crafted. Pulling off a victory against the challenges in this game provides some of the most satisfying feelings gaming can produce, making this one of the best Souls-like games you can enjoy today.</p><h2 id=\"what-is-considered-to-be-the-best-soulslike-game?\">What Is Considered to Be the Best Soulslike Game?</h2><p>This is a matter of opinion, but to many players today who like an open world, Elden Ring is considered among the best Souls like games, if not the best.</p><h2 id=\"what-title-is-most-like-souls-like-games?\">What Title Is Most Like Souls Like Games?</h2><p>Soulslike is one of those terms that can be a little ambiguous. It overlaps with genres like <a href=\"/en/blog/metroidvania-games/\">Metroidvanias</a>. The best Souls like games are about making you feel that sense of pressure and reward, and in this, <i>Hollow Knight</i> absolutely qualifies.</p><p>With all the above at your disposal, you’re equipped to find at least one in the long list of Souls like games that perfectly fit your preferred style. Just remember that death is around every corner, but pay attention, and you’ll spot more traps than you’ll fall prey to. The best games like Dark Souls require patience, and even if you’re not a patient person now, you will be once you get a couple of these titles under your belt!</p>","date":"8/24/2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 10 Best Souls Like Games","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/souls-like-games-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16408"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/esports-teams/"},"strings":{"title":"Checking Out the World’s Best Esports Teams","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>From humble beginnings in small local tournaments, modern eSports has become an international phenomenon worth billions.

It was the introduction of the battle royale mode though that really marked a turning point in Fortnite's trajectory. Drawing inspiration from games like PUBG, Fortnite Battle Royale was released in 2017 and quickly gained traction for its accessible approach to the genre. Competitors followed suit, with multiple games like Fornite on Chrome, PlayStation and other consoles appearing over the next few years.</p><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6evDWowLMbE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe></p><p>Fortnite's meteoric rise to fame can be attributed to several factors, including its accessibility, unique building mechanics, and cross-platform compatibility. Players love the Minecraft-inspired building aspect too - Fortnite isn't just about fighting, you have to use your wits to create cover, bridges, and other structures all in the heat of battle.</p><h2 id=\"accessibility-and-cross-platform-play\">Accessibility and Cross-Platform Play</h2><p>Absolutely key to Fortnite's success has been its accessibility. While other 1v1 games like Fortnite are paid for, Fortnite operates on a free-to-play model, meaning anyone can join in.</p><p>This has been one of the reasons it has been so popular with younger audiences, who don't have the cash to spend on gaming. Making the game available to wide audiences like this has helped it to establish itself and be played by millions.</p><p>Fortnite also played a great hand by making the game available across pretty much any platform you can think of. This means that whether you play <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mac-games/\">games on a Mac</a>, PC, console, or even on your mobile, you can still jump in and play Fortnite with friends. You can even play a Fortnite text-based game <a href=\"/en/games/platform/html5-games/\">based on HTML5</a>.</p><h2 id=\"evolving-map-and-storytelling\">Evolving Map and Storytelling</h2><p>Another one of the reasons that Epic Games has had so much success with Fortnite is that they understand that a game has to be constantly evolving - you cannot afford to stand still, or people will move on to one of the other many free games like Fortnite.</p><p>While other games like Fortnite online have a static landscape, Fortnite has an ever-changing map, evolving storylines, and live in-game events to keep players interested. Constant updates and plenty of seasonal content means that you feel like the Fortnite world is truly evolving, making for a much more immersive experience as a player.</p><p>Other games that are like Fortnite can take away plenty of lessons from Fortnite's journey. Perhaps the key is the idea of always listening to players and considering what will give them the best possible experience.</p><p>Constant innovation, a live service approach, and intriguing gameplay mechanics have undoubtedly secured it the spot of being <i>one of the best </i>battle royale games of all time.</p>","date":"8/21/2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"11 Games like Fortnite","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/fortnite-games-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16399"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-story-games/"},"strings":{"title":"From Pixels to Plot Twists: 15 Of The Best Story Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>The world of gaming has evolved significantly since the days when hi-tech was the likes of Breakout or Pong and you had to play rather simple games, wherever you could find them.</p><p>Nowadays, gaming allows you to step into many other realms.
