On the RPG front, each offers dialogue choices and a gear-based loot system with stat-affecting weapons and armor. Both games offer fluid third-person combat with viable options for close-quarters melee and long-range bow-and-arrow attacks, as well as satisfying stealth mechanics and free-climbing systems. Similar to our recommendation for The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West are third-person, open-world action-RPGs that should appeal to fans of the latest Assassin’s Creed games. Tastes will differ, but The Witcher 3 arguably does all this better than Assssin’s Creed, leading us to name it the best RPG of the last 15 years and one of the ten best RPGs of all time.Īvailable on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC | IGN’s The Witcher 3 review Horizon Zero Dawn & Forbidden Westįor fans of Assassin’s Creed’s combat, traversal, RPG mechanics, and open-world design. Gameplay-wise, The Witcher 3 features fast-paced, third-person action combat akin to that found in Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, though it adds another wrinkle with signs (i.e., magical abilities). In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla specifically, the list of design similarities includes a massive open world filled with over 100 hours of content, an emphasis on player agency through narrative decisions and branching dialogue (including a strikingly similar dialogue-selection design), and comparable gear systems. In evolving Assassin’s Creed’s core mechanics from stealth-action to action-RPG, Ubisoft cited Skyrim, Fallout, and The Witcher 3 among its inspirations, though none is more apparent than CD Projekt’s 2015 RPG epic.
