✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling

≠ Its own twist: fantasy world, historical setting and loot and gear systems, while skipping sandbox freedom

The prequel, and the last of the fixed-camera combo games before the reboot: combat adds a weapon-infusion system and the set pieces are as large as ever. It is also the most routine — the story adds little, the puzzles are padding, and the multiplayer it was built around shut down years ago.

A free-to-play open-world survival shooter: gather, build a base, and fight creatures spawned by an alien substance, solo or in co-op. The setting is genuinely eerie and the building is deep. Long-term players' complaints are consistent and are about the economy rather than the world — the cash shop drives progression, and seasonal patches have repeatedly reset or devalued what established players had already built.
