Updated on June 4, 2024: These high fantasy games are just that good, we had to go and make a video to talk about them even more. Check out all of these worlds that you can easily get lost in - or perhaps you've already been lost in them for a while. It's okay. Me too.

10 Dragon's Dogma Series

Dragon's Dogma is Capcom's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:more medieval high fantasy spin on Monste🔯r Hunter from the studio behind its Devil May Cry games. While an immersive fantasy experience, the visuals and world design hold nothing special over competitors like Dragon Age, Demon's Souls, Elden Ring, and Baldur's Gate 3. Plus, we have mixed feelings about the studio's handling of mic🦩rotransactiꩲons for the sequel.

Nonetheless, the studio deserves praise in its own right for achievin🔯g a different vision with Dragon's Dogma than its standard long-running series like Resident Evil and Street Fighter. The creature combat, detailed character creation system, magic, and imaginative pawn companion mechanics are all fun. Just ask the Cy🤡clops you knocked down to mak𒉰e yourself a bridge.

9 Octopath Traveler Seri💖es

It would be sacrilege not to put Square Enix anywhere when considering a list of best high fantasy games; the studio behind 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Hearts, and countless other gems. Though those two border more on science fiction, the developer's most traditional high fantasy project is the HD-2D pixel art adventure series 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Octopath Traveler.

Both the original and the sequel are fantastic at demonstrating how state-of-the-art graphics and cinematics don't really matter in presenting beautifully realized fantasy landscapes and architecture and a solid story, which allows you to play through eight different characters across two differ▨ent fantasy locations — Orsterra and Solistia.

8 🍬 Mid🙈dle-Earth Series

What's more high fantasy than J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Lord of the Rings series? 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Shadow of War are two excellent games that give you a new story within it, following a Black Gate ranger named Talion who's tethered to the w🌠raith of Celebrimbor, an elf who you may know if you've seen the Prime Video prequel series Rings of Power.

Talion is 🦩off to face Sauron and has a whole heap of orcs and their various commanders to dispatch — or recruit using the game's patented Nemesis system where you can make your own Orc army! Besides Celebrimbor, more familiar characters from The Lord of the Rings return, and then you have satisfying🎐 hack-and-slash combat with Batman Arkham-style counters and finishers.

7 Elden ꧙Ring

If FromSoftware 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mastered the dark fantasy genre and Gothic atmosphere with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodborne and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls, high fantasy was an even bigger triumph in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elden Ring. The Lands Between are not🔴 only home to lore and bosses crafted by fantasy author George R.R. Martin, but its vast regions come with one of the most enthralling art directions and use of colors in games of its kind (just check out the gallery of images).

It's also one of the most accessible Soulsborne games from the studio on the more forgiving side when it comes to encounters, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:offers tons of lore to discover to find out more about what the fantasy deal with the Lands Between and Tarnis📖hed really is. Getting the Shadow of t✅he Erdtree DLC expansion makes the experience even more worth it.

6 𓆉 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Is there anything more iconic than 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? There are so many memorable story moments, side quests, and characters, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:not to mention your romance options. It's expansive and is t♛he entry with the largest scope in The Witcher video game series, both in the locations you can explore and enemies you'll have to fight, as we🍒ll as the narrative.

Andrzej Sapkowski's mythology and vision come beautifully realized in The Witcher 3's gameplay, complimented by an exceptional performance from Geralt voice actor Doug Cockle. The combat animations, maꩵgic system, character designs, story, and graphics (especially with the next-gen upgrade) make it one of the best fantasy epics in gaming.

5 The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild And TOTK 🔥

This game changed a lot of people's lives, and that's really all that needs to be said about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Breath of the Wild. It took Nintendo's long-running series in a new and bold direction, featuring some of the most majestic art and open-world traversal. Not only is it one of the best Zelda games of all time, but it's also a runner-up for getting the title of 168澳洲幸运5🌞开奖网:one of the best Nintendo Switch games of all time, period.

Even if you're not well-versed in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda lore, that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this high fantasy experience, because the story is made to see that Link and Ganondorf are in a constant state of struggle through reincarnation. Its sequel, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tears of the Kingdom, is a further te🅷stament to that and ex𒁃pands on everything that made the original so highly acclaimed.

4 🐻 ꦉ Dragon Age Series

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age was the show-stealer in the realm of high-fantasy RPGs before you had The Witcher 3 and even Skyrim. In⭕ total, there are three games — Origins, Dragon Age 2, and Inquisition. Each is great to try out if you want an original high fantasy experience that feels inspired by literature's greatest hits, though Inquisition is said to be the height of the series.

Since Dragon Age is the brainchild of 🦹BioWare, a trailblazing developer and a master of the craft that paved the way for having more queer options represented in the romance system and a revolutionary dialogue whe✃el for branching decision-based paths, it's a perfect fantasy roleplaying adventure for all genre lovers to dive into.

3 ღ World Of Warcraft

When it comes to the MMORPG territory of high fantasy games, there's just nothing that can beat the juggernaut that is Blizzard's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:World of Warcraft. With all its compelling expansions that have come out since the game's inception in 2004, you really can't say that another hig🐼h fantasy game has as much dꦰedication to its continued world-building, storytelling, and lore as WoW.

Azeroth is such a brilliant concept for hosting a high-fantasy game world; an entire planet with fictional continents and lands brimming with lore, intriguing NPCs, and villains that are as well-established as any you can meet in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game of Thrones. The land is made up of rulin𓂃g Houses like Proudmoore, Waycrest, Ashvane, and Storm♎strong.

2 Baldur's Gate Series

With all the impressions and impact 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 had on the gaming community and its staggering achievement in game development and design, it should come as no surprise that it go down in history as one of the best high fantasy experiences of all time. The entire series is also built on the intricate characters and mythology from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons, by the way.

The series began with BioWare adapting D&D into the digital RPG world of Baldur's Gate, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:before taking over two decades to find itself in the safe hands of Divinity developer Larian, which was a match made in heaven. You'll be lost in the sheer amount of things to tackle, careful attention to detail, NPCs to meet, go💜rgeous graphics and environments, and excellent Act-structured pacing that results in endless replayability.

1 ⛄𓆏 The Elder Scrolls Series

As written, Bethesda's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elder Scrolls remains king of the high fantasy genre in games. 168澳洲幸运5开奖🌟网:Skyrim is still being active🌺ly modded today and widely discussed well over a decade since its launch. What it achieved also shouldn't overshadow the earlier Elder Scrolls games like predecessors 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Morrowind and Oblivion, nor the equally wonderful MMORPG 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls Online.

Anything Elder Scrolls means mounds of fantasy action-adventure fun to be enjoyed (because who can forget how you can place a bucket on an NPC's head to avoid being caug🌜ht stealing?). The world, characters, and classes work wonders for its medieval fantasy atmosphere that plays out in the first-person, with Elder Scrol🐲ls Online further letting you engage with friends in multiplayer.
