If You Already Finished Oblivion Remastered, There’s A New First-Person RPG Climbing The Steam Charts

by

A fresh first-person, open-world role-playing game is rapidly gaining popularity on Steam, making it an intriguing pick for gamers who’ve already completed Oblivion Remastered and crave more adventures akin to Skyrim.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon goes global at $45, officially launched on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on May 23, following its early access phase in 2023. The game has garnered a substantial fanbase, especially on Steam, currently ranking as the third best-selling title and narrowly trailing Oblivion Remastered in terms of most-played games. On this platform, it boasts “Very positive” ratings from users.

Drawing inspiration from first-person role-playing games such as Skyrim and Oblivion, Tainted Grail is set in a world steeped in dark fantasy, drawing upon Arthurian legends. The game offers multiple storylines and morally complex decisions that allow players to mold the destiny of King Arthur’s once thriving kingdom, as described on its Steam page.

As a gamer, if you’re on the hunt for an expansive open-world RPG that will keep you occupied for quite some time, Tainted Grail is just the ticket! According to its Steam page, this game clocks in at around 50-70 hours and offers over 200 side quests scattered across its three unique zones. When it comes to battles and character customization, you’ve got plenty of freedom to switch between melee weapons, shields, magical abilities, and throwable items as you see fit.

At Developer Questline’s studio, which has approximately 50 members, they emphasize that players have the freedom to develop diverse characters, such as a “mage-blacksmith who summons undead armies” or a “shadowy archer”. Similar to The Elder Scrolls series, there is an element of crafting, including blacksmithing, alchemy, and cooking, as well as farming, journaling, fishing, and other activities. Just like in Elder Scrolls, Tainted Grail can technically be played from a third-person perspective, but was primarily designed with first-person view in mind. The developers refer to the third-person option as “playable but not without its flaws”.

After the game’s release, the developer has planned several improvements for players, such as resolving bugs, enabling modification options, and offering extra content. Moreover, they are actively working to enhance the game’s functionality on the Steam Deck.

If you’re wondering if Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon might become your new obsession in the realm of role-playing games, you can test it out with a complimentary demo on Steam and console platforms.
