What about a Final Fantasy game?

Ah, yeah I don't like those either. I'll add that to the list right now

Enderal,

Forgot that existed, haven't tried it yet

Oh man, Enderal is so great. I wish the mod would come to console but that's never going to happen.

Arx Fatalis, if you can tolerate older games.

Arkane's Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and Dishonored are fun too, but they're much more linear.

I loved Dark messiah of might and magic! Played it for the first time ever this year

Ni no Kuni was an enjoyable game. I'm a huge fan of Miyazaki stuff though.

Then definitely do yourself a favor and play Dishonored. I can't speak to the sequel's quality as I've not played it, but the first game was really enjoyable. It is a stealth game at its core, but it's a very fun one.

I actually really enjoyed the second one more than the first

Asheron's Call. There's a spell for everything....

I should probably get on that after I finish the games I'm currently in the middle of, then.

You definitely should! And there's incentive to play it a second time because you have two character choices

Have you played Death Loop?

I haven't, but I'm curious about it

Have you tried kingdoms of amular

Yes, I just abbreviated it to KoA:R

lol my bad. It’s kinda a niche game but kingdom hearts 3 has really fun magic incorporated with its combat.

Not really “magic” but the force unleash game was really fun demolishing people with the different force abilities you had so if you haven’t played that and like Star Wars you might enjoy it

Since you enjoyed Baldurs Gate 3 how about Divinity Original Sin 2?

Sounds like Forspoken will be for you, but it’s not out until next year, along with Harry Potter

It’s pretty old, but might be your style. Gothic. It’s on steam.

Fable is also pretty good

It's by the same guys, I really enjoy it. But I absolutely love rogue likes and story driven rugs. Tjos scratches both of those itches

That's also up there, DOS2

I keep forgetting I have those, defs will check then out before I buy something else

Greedfall?

I also enjoyed that one!

I'm apprehensive about that one, but we'll see

Outward

I don't normally like survival games but I did enjoy that one

I’m as well. The combat and magic look fantastic, and I’m okay with the intentional cringe from the main character, I’m hesitant on the world itself and how much side content there’ll be. I’m already sold on Hogwarts though, but that’s because I’ve been wanting a game just like it for over a decade now

For me it's the actual gameplay that I'm not so sure about. I don't really care much about stories in games. But the mechanics themselves look kinda like Spiderman meets Witcher meets Sunset Overdrive
