Games like Skyrim
What keeps people in Skyrim is the freedom: pick a direction, find a cave, join a guild, become whoever you like. These are the open-world RPGs that give you the most of that, from Bethesda's own games to ones that do it harder, slower or with better writing.
14 picks, each at the cheapest price we have read from any store today. Skyrim’s own price and history →
1The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
54,99 € at Humble
Skyrim's predecessor, rebuilt in 2025. Cyrodiil is greener and odder, and the guild quests are some of the series' best.
2The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
13,08 € −13% at Fanatical
The strangest Elder Scrolls. No quest markers and a world of giant mushrooms and stilt striders. It asks for patience and rewards it.
3The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
49,99 € at Steam
A world as big, with sharper writing and side quests that change what happens later. You play Geralt rather than a hero of your own.
4Fallout 4
16,79 € −16% at Fanatical
The same studio and the same habit of wandering off the road into a ruin. Guns for swords, settlement building, and a mod scene nearly as big as Skyrim's.
5Fallout: New Vegas
8,69 € −13% at Fanatical
Made by Obsidian on Bethesda's tools, and the best written of that family: factions that remember what you did, and no wrong way to finish it.
6Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
21,00 € −65% at Green Man Gaming
No magic and no dragons: medieval Bohemia, where you improve by doing, as in Skyrim, and a sword fight is learnt rather than spammed.
7Kingdom Come: Deliverance
5,99 € −80% at GOG
The first game, rougher around the edges. Start here if you want the whole story of Henry.
8Elden Ring
53,88 € −10% at Fanatical
The same pull of seeing a far-off castle and simply going there, with far harder fights and almost nothing explained.
9Dragon's Dogma II
39,99 € at GamersGate
An open world where you can climb onto a griffin to fight it, with a party of AI pawns that learn from you. Journeys are planned, and night is dangerous.
10Baldur's Gate III
41,99 € −30% at GOG
Turn-based rather than real-time, but nothing gives you more ways to deal with a problem: talk, sneak, fight, or something nobody planned for.
11Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
10,00 € −75% at Green Man Gaming
A colourful world full of side quests, with faster, combo-led combat than Skyrim's and the freedom to mix any classes.
12Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
49,99 € at GamersGate
If your favourite part was the civil war: raise an army, besiege castles and take a kingdom, in a sandbox that never ends.
13Starfield
43,90 € −12% at Fanatical
Bethesda's space RPG, with the same guilds, factions and side quests as Skyrim, on planets instead of in Tamriel.
14Outward
39,99 € at Fanatical
You are not the chosen one: you eat, sleep, carry a backpack and lose fights. Tough, odd, and good in co-op.
