The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim is an iconic action role-playing game where you embark on the journey of the Dragonborn, tasked with defeating the dragon Alduin, the World Eater. The game's expansive open world lets you explore freely, engage in countless side quests, and customize your character across various classes.

Despite its age, Skyrim remains a fan favorite, with a vibrant community that keeps the game fresh through mods. If you feel the gameplay or graphics are showing their age, dive into the thousands of free mods available on Nexus Mods. Enhance the environment with the Skyrim Flora Overhaul, improve NPC interactions with Immersive Citizens, or adjust the quest structure with At Your Own Pace.

Fallout 4

Fallout 4, another gem from Bethesda, offers a rich modding scene. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, you play as a survivor on a quest to find your missing son. The game's open world is filled with quests, collectibles, and interactions with various factions and NPCs.

Released in 2015, Fallout 4 still benefits from mods that can elevate your experience. For better graphics, try the Fallout 4 HD Overhaul 2K. Nexus Mods also hosts a plethora of cosmetic mods, such as Appealing Moles and Lots More Male Hairstyles, to personalize your character.

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 overcame its rocky start to become a must-play action RPG set in the dystopian Night City. You play as V, customizable in background, appearance, and personality, who faces a death sentence after installing a stolen bio-chip. Accompanied by Johnny Silverhand, portrayed by Keanu Reeves, your journey is filled with intrigue and action.

Thanks to ongoing updates from CD Projekt Red, the game has seen significant improvements. Enhance your experience further with mods like Better Loot Markers, Real Vendor Names, and HD Reworked Project.

Stardew Valley

For a more relaxed gaming session, Stardew Valley offers a charming pixelated world where you can farm, romance NPCs, battle monsters, and uncover mysteries. This indie darling has a dedicated modding community, making it perfect for multiple playthroughs. After your initial vanilla run, try Stardew Valley Expanded for a fresh experience.

Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3, a fantasy RPG based on Dungeons & Dragons, has earned the Game of the Year title and is celebrated for its depth and quality. While the base game is exceptional, mods like Carry Weight Increased can enhance your gameplay, especially if you're a treasure hunter like me.
