Though A Plague Tale doesn’t contain any fantasy elements like dragons or powerful green fire, Innocence still gives off that Game of Thrones feeling in its story thanks to the late-medieval period the game takes place in, and more notably due to the overarching themes of tragedy and characters coming together to overcome the tragedies befalling them, among other elements. You could argue that the main character Amica has a similar character arc to Arya Stark, just without the swordsmanship. Either way, A Plague Tale: Innocence is an incredibly written story about two siblings coming together and strengthening their bond in the face of unimaginable hardships. For fans of story-rich games that really tug at the heartstrings, this game should be up next on your gaming to-do list.

Dialogue choices determine how others react to your characters. If you approach a prostitute in Mole's Town with insults on your lips and violence in your heart, she may run away instead of offering you the valuable information you require. But if you appear to be a pushover, a clever villager might talk himself out of punishment for a murder he committed. There's no morality judge to keep you in line. You respond in conversations with whatever you most want to say and bear the consequences of your actions. Regardless of what card you play, the world changes slightly as you get deeper into the story. Alliances are frequently forged and destroyed, so choose carefully. There are five different endings based on what you do in the last chapter, but the bigger changes occur throughout the adventure as characters are either present or absent based on how you treated them earlier. Along with updated visuals and greatly improved AI enemy pathfinding capabilities that make them much more of a threat than the original, Definitive Edition also sees continued updates in the forms of new DLCs that include additional empires to play, along with new campaigns for players to play through. To celebrate the franchise’s 25-year anniversary in 2023, the Definitive Edition devs released the Return of Rome DLC expansion, which is composed of content from the original Age of Empires: Definitive Edition brought into Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition’s new engine, including all sixteen original empires plus the additions of the Lac Viet, three new original playable campaigns, and the bonus addition of the Roman empire being playable in the main AoE II game.

If you really want to get your head around the whole picture that this MMORPG has to offer however, then you’ll just have to go and play it yourself, because I can scarcely fit sixteen-plus years of ongoing content updates into just one blog post. But what I can do is say that any fan of Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, or even just fantasy as a genre, in general, will not be disappointed if they decide to play The Lord of the Rings Online for themselves. So let’s get right into today’s Top 10 list, where we’ll examine a selection of games that feel like the next best thing to stepping into the world of Westeros.

#4: Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC/Xbox One/Xbox Series S/X)

I can go all day about what makes this game (and by proxy its sequel Shadow of War) a fantastic game, but I only have so much space in this blog. Fans and critics alike agreed that the Nemesis System elevates this game from being just good to absolutely excellent, making Shadow of Mordor a game any LotR fan should play, if they don’t mind the canonical inconsistencies that is. Compared to the last game on this list, Shadow of Mordor is more similar in spirit to the grim, dirty, brutality of Game of Thrones, so I think it’s more than safe to say that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a game you should absolutely play for yourself, and just as well, it’s an absolutely deserving game to be our halfway point here at #5. That feeling comes straight out of the show and is loyally replicated here, but this story takes things a step further by putting you in charge of major decisions that you would've just watched with an intense mix of dread and schadenfreude before. While the actual gameplay is fairly basic and familiar - most of the actual interactivity comes in as dialogue choices, with fairly standard QTEs filling out the rest - the sort of choices you're forced to make will keep you twitching with anxiety in a way even The Walking Dead can't match.
