Top 10 Fantasy Games Of All Time, Ranked

Fantasy is a genre that has tons of potential. Fortunately, this wonderful genre has been well explored in gaming. Throughout the years, there have been numerous fantasy games that represented the themes and style just as well as any book or movie has, if not better.

Now is a good time to take a look at some of these games. As such, we will be ranking the 10 best fantasy video games to see which comes out on top.

10. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a great game that had impossible odds stacked against it. It released very near to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in 2012. As you may imagine, Skyrim is a hard act to follow. This left Amalur ignored at release.

However, there was also some legal drama involving the developer behind the scenes, as well. This drama was due almost entirely to the chairman of 38 Studios, Curt Shilling, and his shady dealings in the game industry.

All of this helped tank Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning at release, which is a shame because it featured some incredible gameplay and combat. However, it received a second chance in September 2020 with the remaster edition Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, one of the best fantasy games on Steam.

9. Fable

Fable was a big selling point for the Xbox back in 2004. It provided players with a great new world to explore. However, it also experimented with tons of great ideas that were expanded upon in the sequel. It is well known that the Fable series did typically over-promise what was possible at the time. Although, it still managed to find a dedicated fanbase.

The reaction to an reveal of a new entry for next-gen proved that people still care about the world of Albion. Hopefully Fable still has the warm charm and entertainment value the original had in the years to come.
