#GamingBytes: GoT fan? You will surely adore these video games
What's the story
Game of Thrones is a brilliant work of art. It is, however, limited to a few episodes/season, which leaves fans wanting for more. This is where video games come in. While you wait for new episodes, why not play video games that are similar in tone and feel? If you are a fan of GoT's drama, war, and magic, you'll definitely love these games.
Game #1
Dark Souls: One of the toughest RPGs ever
One of the toughest Role Playing Games ever, Dark Souls is a perfect mix of dark medieval fantasy, post-apocalyptic adventure, and phenomenal gameplay. In this epic struggle to stay alive, fights remind you of The Mountain vs Viper and locations are similar to The Wall and Casterly Rock (but darker). If you love overcoming difficult challenges, Dark Souls is the perfect title for you.
Game #2
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, quite alike to GoT
In terms of world size and political intrigue, Skyrim and GoT are quite alike. The similarities become uncanny with the advent of dragons (summon them or battle them), medieval towns, and undead Draugr (Whitewalker vibes!). The best part? With various mods, you can make the game look exactly like GoT. Skyrim gives you a fantastic open world and the freedom to do almost anything.
Game #3
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, full of sorceresses, spine-chilling dragons
The Witcher series is Andrzej Sapkowski's dark fantasy setting that documents Geralt of Rivia's adventures in a diverse and dangerous world. Full of intense romances, sorceresses and spine-chilling dragons, the game's war-torn open world, full of corruption and prejudice, is yours to explore. With a number of gripping, disturbing, and engaging stories and interesting characters, this game feels really close to GoT.
Game #4
Dragon Age: Inquisition, has intriguing characters just like GoT
Dragon Age series has various games but Inquisition comes closest to Game of Thrones with its political wrangling, grand fantasy, unstoppable evil forces, and beautiful, majestic dragons. The BioWare title casts you as the 'Inquisitor' to deploy troops with the help of trusted advisers and allies and fight a mysterious evil force. Like GoT, this game has intriguing characters and spellbinding storyline.
Game #5
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series
This title from Telltale Games is the closest you'll get to the true Game of Thrones experience. You play as members of House Forrester: a family of ironwood workers loyal to House Stark. The game progresses according to the decisions you make and has a number of familiar characters like Tyrion, Cersei, and Jon Snow. This game is definitely worth a GoT fan's time.
