8. Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord

Bannerlord Siege Defense Gameplay

In Skyrim, you can become Thane of a hold, but once you have that power all you get is a Housecarl as a free follower. You don’t get to lead any battles, enact any rules, or hand out any punishments. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will at least give you the power to lead battles. Like previous M&B games, Bannerlord is a combination first-person RPG and third-person strategy simulator. While in first-person sections, you can hang out in taverns, peruse shops, recruit followers and soldiers, and engage in conversation and combat. The third-person element comes in when you are selecting towns to visit or attack and setting up for raids or siege defense. I’m probably not describing it well, so you should definitely watch the gameplay video above if you want to get a better idea of what I mean.

How it’s like Skyrim: There is a vast medieval themed open-world with towns to explore and NPCs to interact with. Engage in real-time combat with a variety of weapons and strategies. Create your own customized avatar.

How it’s Different: No magic or fantasy elements. There is a third-person strategy component within combat. The focus is less on narrative questlines and more on choice and personal roleplay.

Defend the town from invaders and break the siege.

Mount an attack and lead your army on horseback.
