Thief Gold and Thief the metal age

I kinda wish we got a new Splinter Cell; but the way Ubi has been destroying all their franchises in the last decade, I'm kinda glad we don't....

Only problem with the quake 2 remaster is the music stops after completing certain objectives and after looping for a while.It needs to be fixed.

Greedfall (by Spiders) and The Sinking City (by Frogwares) would be on my list personally. Their story plots, sidequests and world-building especially are so great. Combat gameplay might be a bit rough around the edges, but certainly not bad (I found fighting in these games certainly smoother and more rewarding than in games like Gothic or Risen).

Finally someone bringing up these games

Although I was sad to realize I absolutely know and love all of the games here, and some I'd imagine everyone does, it's still a phenomenal list. A special shoutout for the most underrated gem of all time - Arx Fatalis, the game where you could already see how special Arkane would become as a studio.

3 and 5 are my favourite they are iconic for me all time - - but not at all the new ones am looking to lately - starcraft and alpha centauri are great games but they have been already tried and tested is what am trying to say - - game 7 is also very familiar - - so i guess the rest are the best i like all of those too and the 10th game am uncertain but yea am fine with it too - am wondering the names of these caricatures in youtube's emojis too kind of silly though

Steelrising definitely a very underrated game, Lies of P is definitely the best game on this list.

awesome list beside mortal shell didnt even finish if i had more time i could do tho but have work but the are on point now i need to get the lies of p tymesia, hell point, steelrising buy i cant wait for the surge 3

Imagine recommending DoW 3 in a clickbait titled "best" 🙃

Gothic and Witcher 1 are my fav ♥

Witcher, Gothic, Risen, Arx Fatalis... Let us not forget about the two classic Baldur's Gate games aswell - with Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights. Witcher 1 was my all-time favourite, always, and each new entry in the series was disappointment. Thank thee for mentioning it.

Some more games worth a mention here: Shadows: Awakening, GreedFall, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Expeditions: Rome, Aarklash: Legacy, Of Orcs and Men, King Arthur: Knight's Tale, Blackguards, Solasta: Crown of the Magister, Underrail, Evil Islands, Encased, Atom RPG, Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, Tower of Time, Black Book, Gamedec, Lords of Xulima, Hard West 2, Jagged Alliance 3, Stirring Abyss, Urtuk: The Desolation, Showgunners, Iratus: Lord of the Dead Wantless: Solace at World’s End, Zoria: Age of Shattering, Miasma Chronicles, Vagrus: The Riven Realms, Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs, Ash of Gods: Redemption, Operencia: The Stolen Sun, Hellslave, The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians.

Dyson sphere is ahead of factorio, lmfao. DoW 3 that shut down the company because of how bad it failed =)) Tho for ppl who didn't play. Endless Space 1. I repeat, ONE. Is an amazing game. And 2 is an okay sequel.

Sacred 1 and 2. BTW RIP Piranha Bytes 😭😭😭

Nioh and Lies of P are both amazing. Thymesia is an hidden gem.

Arx fatalis remake or continuation would be so amazing..

Aren't Witcher, Cyberpunk, Kingdom Come and BG3 considered European RPGs?

You just forgot about The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos ^^

Nice list. I would add the suggestion of Dune: Spice Wars and Aliens Dark Descent, both quite faithful to the respective franchises and good games overall.

Oh hey thanks for the mention

Gothic mentioned! have a sub and good luck on your journey on youtube

No Kingdom Come Deliverance? Shame on you :)

"piranha bytes that offered a world that felt alive and reactive" F*CKING THANK YOU! subscribed. Small edit and suggestion, i think your vids could really take of if your delivery is less dead pan and more passionate. I know you are reading from a script, but it would really help you if make it sound more natural.

>>>Looking for incredible RPGs that fly under the radar? Dude, just place your radar on the decent, 10 meters higher hill. Half of Your listed games I grinded CD-DVD to dust, another half I ignored - not my view of life. Fantasy must be grounded, at least for man from 35 km. from Russian border.

this is a very niche subject, not sure if there is any other video on YT about it; great games here btw. would be nice to see a list of dungeon crawlers too

Gta V Kadavulai ❤

List is incomplete without Mafia the old city and Wolverine and you also skipped some more high end games you list is not a great choice of games except 3 4 tittles

no timestamps = downvote.

looks nice

Monster Hunter Wilds and GTA VI is enough to keep anyone busy for the entirety of 2025.

Another great video. I've always found European RPGs a bit more authentic and atmospheric. That's actually also why my most favorite RPG series is the Gothic trilogy. Btw I've heard a lot of positive things about Enderal, but I've never tried it. And thanks for credit 👍 Glad to see my playthrough in action again 😀

Nice video and list buddy ❤

This is a great list but it really needs the new Mafia... It's good to see Bloodlines 2 getting some attention though.

Thank you for crediting me and finding my videos, all the best!

Your list made me realize there are so many good games I haven't played yet... Great stuff & Thank you for the mention 🙏🙏😁

Great video and thank you for the mention 🙏🙏😁

Thank you for the mention 🙏🙏😁

Thank you for the mention! Great video man! 🙏😁

I fear youtube is doing you a disservice: a search for Nerd's Games doesnt offer the channel or your videos (it's all avgn).

Nice list but you also missed Darkwatch which is like a dark western.

🔫🤠🙌

Planet of Lana and Blacktail were great indeed

good list

Agreed. Talos Principle 2 was my game of the year 2023. Also the Utopian setting was refreshing. Infinifactory was ahead of the recent wave of factory builders.

No RoadWarden? Now that's peak

I think Need for Speed Underground is much improved over 1, but still a good list.

good video. Antichamber is a such great experience, with the Non Euclidean geometry.

Citizen Sleeper is an absolute standout game from the story and atmosphere. In a dystopian world, but many characters you meet are so warm and supportive. Other game choice seem also very good.

bros voice is like natgeo narrator but for video games
