This franchise has been a pioneer since the 90s with its first installments. Starting out being quite rudimentary and even slow, its most recent installments are standards of how a open world It has to be done, with a very developed lore that makes us fully immerse ourselves in the plots that the saga presents to us. And today we thought it would be a good time to remember this great saga.
The best medieval worlds?
So today we have set ourselves the task of seeing what the top five video games under the label of The Elder Scrolls. For this ranking we will take as a benchmark your score on the review portal Metacriticwho we know are quite an eminence. So with that said, we can begin.
5. The Elder Scrolls: Legends
A saga as big as it is The Elder Scrolls can afford experiment with different genres of video games. In this case, the focus was on a gameplay closer to the Hearthstone from Blizzard, featuring turn-based card combat. The experiment seems to have gone quite well, especially in reviews, where it has an 80 on Metacritic.
4. The Elder Scrolls Online
Having one of the most popular sagas of the moment, it seemed like a pretty logical idea to think about releasing a multiplayer title to try and scrape together a couple more bucks. That said, and with an 83 on Metacritic, it was a very good additional experience for fans of the series, who would like to have fun with their friends, not to mention its very lively and varied world.
3. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The third installment of the franchise left aside what was established in the two previous games and threw itself headlong into the open worldsThe result was the first stone in the franchise with the best worlds ever created, with an 87. Without this title, we would not have had everything that its sequels brought us. Without a doubt iconic.
2. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
After the success that was Morrowindit seems that those responsible for ValvE set out to make a “hold my drink”, since improved in virtually every aspect the third installment, earning a 94 on Metacritic. If the world of the third game was already really good and variedthis no longer made any sense how good it was.
1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
What can be said about Skyrim that hasn’t been said already? One of the best open world role-playing video games had to take the gold, and more so having a 96 rating on Metacritic. How many unforgettable moments has given us this world and its people, with special mention to the “I was shot in the foot” NPCs. A masterpiece like a cathedral.
