The Elder Scrolls, Fallout: Bethesda is the master of the open-world Western RPG, between freedom and immersion. RomWize re-ranks the publisher's best games by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is one of the most played games in history. Nordic High Reaches, dragons, Dovahkiin shouts. Total absolute freedom, colossal content, infinite exploration. An unsurpassable monument."
"Skyrim Legendary Edition is the complete version with the three major DLC: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn. Hundreds of additional hours of exceptional content. The definitive way to play Skyrim."
"Fallout 3 GOTY is the complete version with all DLC including Broken Steel, Point Lookout and The Pitt. Hundreds of hours of exceptional content. The definitive way to explore the full Capital Wasteland."
"Bethesda's behemoth, now portable. Wandering Skyrim anywhere you like is still seductive, and the freedom of approach hasn't lost its charm. The engine shows its age and bugs persist, yet the sheer volume of content remains colossal."
"Fallout 3 is the saga's glorious return with Bethesda and Washington DC's Capital Wasteland. Free exploration of a striking post-apo world, rich narrative, disturbing Vaults. A foundational RPG of the generation."
"Oblivion delivers the first great open breath of Cyrodiil with a huge world where every NPC has a routine and every guild its arc. The levelling system still divides, but what a gust of classic fantasy under that radiant sun."
"Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition groups Oblivion and all its expansions including Shivering Isles. The most complete version of the foundational RPG with hundreds of hours of content. Ideal to discover all of Cyrodiil."
"Oblivion Game of the Year Edition groups Oblivion and its main expansions Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine. The complete way to discover Cyrodiil with all major content available in one package."
"The port is a technical miracle: this hyperfast shooter runs at 60 frames on Switch without betraying its choreography of violence. Visually trimmed, but the combat stays that lethal dance of chainsaw, flamethrower and glory kills."
"Arkane craft one of the finest stealth games ever made with a hypnotic steampunk Dunwall and a toolset that begs for creativity. Every mission opens a thousand ways to act, and picking your path is sheer delight."
"Dishonored GOTY is the complete version with all DLC including The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches. The ideal way to experience the Dishonored universe in full with exceptional additional content."
"A dazzling rhythm-action game where every hit lands on the beat, from Tango Gameworks. Its flashy cartoon style, offbeat humor and rock soundtrack make this a pure shot of energy from start to finish."
"Foundational open world RPG of the modern generation, Xbox port of the PC original. Unparalleled total freedom, fascinating Vvardenfell world, extraordinarily rich quests. Writing and lore of rare depth. An RPG monument that must be played."
"Complete Morrowind version with both major expansions (Tribunal and Bloodmoon) included. The definitive version of the Bethesda masterpiece. If you own only one Morrowind, it's this one. Colossal content, incalculable value."
"A genuine technical feat on Switch, this modern Doom runs with surprising fluidity despite some visual compromises. The pace stays relentless, the Glory Kills still satisfy, and it's a brilliant fit for handheld bursts of pure carnage."
"Highly successful solo FPS set in an alternate occupied France of the 1960s. Mature narrative, excellent level design and sharp gameplay. Wolfenstein The New Order successfully revived the series with an unexpectedly high quality story."
"Fallout 3 Tsuika Contents Pack is the Japanese version of Fallout 3 with the Japanese DLC pack. Same brilliant Capital Wasteland, same reference post-apo RPG with additional content packaged for the Japanese market."
"The Quake remaster restores the full edge of the shooter that invented so much: speed, brutality, labyrinthine levels soaked in Lovecraftian dread. Trent Reznor's soundtrack stays chilling. On Switch, controller in hand, it remains surprisingly nimble."
"The Evil Within is Shinji Mikami's return to pure survival-horror with Sebastian Castellanos. Oppressive claustrophobic atmosphere, nightmarish monsters, maximum tension. A demanding and memorable survival-horror."
"Nightdive's remaster restores all the luster of id's classic. The gameplay stays fast and readable, the new campaign adds welcome content, and the technical performance on Switch impresses. An FPS that hasn't aged a day."
