The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Open WorldRPGStory RichPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Accepting a contract, you track clues to a monster lair, then fight with sword and sign, balancing preparation of gear and potions while traveling between villages and wilderness. Both games emphasize character progression through quests and combat.
- Choose it when
- You prefer magical combat and swordplay combos over realistic medieval dueling, and you're willing to trade survival mechanics for a more accessible, quest-driven open world.
- But
- Combat is faster and more fluid with signs and acrobatics, exploration spans multiple distinct regions rather than one kingdom, and quests are driven by monster contracts and a main plot, not daily medieval survival. You can save anytime and there's more freedom in tackling objectives.
Dragon's Dogma 2
Open WorldRPGActionPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Assess your vocation and skills, direct your main Pawn and two others from other players, and exploit terrain and monster weaknesses to decide whether to engage or avoid a massive beast; both games reward preparation and situational awareness in combat.
- Choose it when
- You'll spend more time assembling and commanding a party of Pawns in high-fantasy monster battles, while accepting less realistic medieval swordplay and survival simulation.
- But
- Vocation system offers varied combat roles like swordsman, archer, or mage, and Pawns provide a party-based dynamic with cooperative skills, while enemy design features larger-than-life creatures. Combat is more about team synergies than individual timing and realism.
Rise of the Ronin
Open WorldActionRPGPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- You navigate a war-torn 19th-century Japan, choosing between factions and interacting with historical figures, with missions that involve stealth or direct combat. Your decisions lead to multiple endings, shaping the story.
- Choose it when
- Opt for fluid, combo-driven swordplay and faction-based branching stories over a grounded medieval setting with realistic survival mechanics, accepting that some content requires co-op play.
- But
- Combat is faster with katana and various weapon styles, lacking the realistic medieval swordplay; exploration uses grappling hook and glider over three cities, and the setting is historical Japan rather than medieval Europe. The game offers more action-oriented combat and a branching story.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Open WorldSurvivalAtmosphericPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- You scavenge for supplies, manage gear durability, and navigate anomalies and rivals in the Zone, making every move count for survival. Both games feature open worlds where preparation and caution are key to overcoming threats.
- Choose it when
- Trading medieval sword fighting for modern gunplay, you'll spend more time scavenging and managing survival in a radioactive zone, accepting less historical exploration and formal dueling.
- But
- Combat uses modern firearms, and enemies include mutants and other stalkers rather than medieval soldiers; the focus shifts to survival mechanics like radiation and resource scarcity, with a post-apocalyptic atmosphere and nonlinear missions.
Days Gone
Open WorldActionSurvivalPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- You ride a motorcycle across an open world, scavenging for resources to craft weapons and traps, and fight hordes of infected and hostile survivors. Dynamic weather and day/night cycles force you to plan routes and manage supplies.
- Choose it when
- Trading historical swordplay and medieval realism for a post-apocalyptic road trip means you'll spend more time scavenging and customizing your motorcycle, while accepting less emphasis on period-accurate combat and narrative.
- But
- Combat relies on modern guns and melee against zombie hordes, not medieval duels; mobility is centered on your bike, and the narrative focuses on personal survival after a pandemic, with a more modern setting.
