Everything you wished for in a Harry Potter game is already here, probably more than you wanted. The nostalgia hits home when you wander around the map and see the medical structures.
The game is without a doubt a successful installment to the franchise and was also regarded as the second-most-selling game of the year 2023.
08. Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
Sherlock Holmes is a genius detective who has probably no haters, and he also knows it too. Throughout the years, with hours of Sherlock Holmes content consumed we watched him promptly solve complex puzzles that no ordinary can solve.
Playing him as a character is intriguing, what’s even more fascinating is we are using our brain and not his to solve mysteries.
Not only there are complex mysteries that may take effort and time, but you also have to face off against otherworldly creatures.
07. No Man’s Sky (One of the Best Xbox Adventure Games)
It’s finally time for some space adventure, the title of the game reveals what the game is about, not the intention but the term.
No Man’s Sky is not a game, it depicts how wandering around the universe may seem. You can explore an infinite procedurally generated universe.
You can travel to strange planets, stars, and distant galaxies, and can interact with different life forms, all on your spaceship. The space suit and the spaceship both are upgradable.
06. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Adventure and Fantasy together are becoming regular these days, although there is no denying that these genres are showing results and are marvelous together.
The Elder Scrolls V is the latest installment to the franchise, even though the game is 13 years old, it still delivers what you may be looking for now. The vast open world of The Elder Scrolls 5 makes it exceptionally entertaining.
You can start the game by choosing a race and creating a character with multiple skills and different abilities. There is more to the game than you might think of.
05. Sea of Thieves
Wandering around the Sea with no real goal sounds scary, but if you were told that there is a treasure hidden somewhere, How would you react?
Sea of Thieves doesn’t have a fixed plot to begin with, the players have to create their own stories. There is a big open world map with inconsistent islands, the players are to look for the hidden treasure. There are events in the game that the players can attend alone or with the company.
The game is highly inspired by the real pirates, even the apparel of many characters is similar to that of the pirates.
04. Stray (One of the Underrated Xbox X and S Adventure Games)
Throughout the years gaming as a whole has evolved in many ways, from video graphics to playable characters, everything has changed to some extent.
Stray may sound like an unnatural game when reading its synopsis. But in truth, the game portrays the world, from the point of view of a cute cat.
In a world where humans have gone extinct, the robots they created with their own hands are now nourishing it. The gamers play the game from a cat’s perspective and are tasked to escape to the surface.
03. Subnautica: Below Zero
We get horrified hearing the stories about pirates and tragic events that occur because of extreme weather. But the fear of getting swallowed by underwater creatures tops it.
Subnautica Below Zero aka Subnautica 2 is the second installment to the Subnautica franchise. We are once more back to the odd planet, 4546B, a planet where horrifying creatures live.
We have to explore this alien planet on a big map and survive extraterrestrial creatures that are hungry for flesh. Subnautica Below Zero is by far the most realistic video game that depicts what being in the middle of the ocean with no land or help nearby would look like.
02. Bramble: The Mountain King
All we have done is talk about how visually stunning the games on this list are. Even though they are some of the best-refined games, Bramble is levels above all of them when it comes to details, the sound of water, the passing of waves, and the reflection of light after it touches a leaf are beyond ordinary.
The lore is out of the ordinary, we are playing the game from a young boy’s perspective, named Olle. A troll took his sister in custody and isn’t letting her go, Olle is desperately in search of his sister. The boy’s journey is exciting, as he faces deadly creatures, he understands how precious life is. To get back to his sister he has to survive.
