Oblivion Remasteredhas reinvigorated theopen-world RPGformula in a big way, but there is only so much game to play. Sooner or later, you’re going to run out of quests to do and monsters to kill.
Don’t fret, because luckily, there are a ton of games that give you a similar experience, even if they might not all be on the same level of budget or notoriety. There are a ton of great RPGs that do what Oblivion Remastered does just as well and, in some cases, even better.
We’re going to check out a bunch of games that are like Oblivion Remastered to give you some good options to jump into whenever you’re ready. In general, we’ll just be talking about one game per franchise.
10The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Freedom Unmatched
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
While Oblivion Remastered set the gaming world on fire in 2025, all the way back in 2002,Morrowindlaid the groundwork. The freedom you have in this game is absolutely incredible and very much the blueprint that Oblivion Remastered goes by. You can do anything, be anyone, and kill anyone. The world is yours.
You have a bit less direction than in Oblivion Remastered here, and things like fast travel are earned, not given. The combat is similar to Oblivion’s in style, but it’s absolutely brutal due to RNG determining if you even make contact with your enemy. Luckily, the magic system is one of the best in gaming, and the quests provide endless entertainment for hours on end.
Unlike most Elder Scrolls games, the main story is quite compelling here, and really makes you care about the main journey rather than doing random quests. This makes for a rather unique experience in that regard.
9Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
A Tribute To Ages Past
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avaloncaught everyone by surprisein 2025. After several years in early access, it finally had a full release, and immediately, those thirsting for a new Elder Scrolls game were hooked. It felt like Oblivion Remastered in its exploration, but it was far darker and gave us a genuinely unsettling and original dark fantasy world to explore.
The story is wildly compelling, but it’s the exploration that feels so much like Oblivion Remastered. It’s vast and mysterious, with tons of secrets to discover and monster types to encounter.
The combat is also incredibly similar, allowing you to mix melee and magic together regardless of your stats to create a fast-paced fantasy action system. Both games also have a first and third person option, so it’s going to satisfy fans with both styles of play.
It’s a throwback game in many ways, but modernized for today’s audience. Tt’s a great way to fill the time after finishing Oblivion Remastered.
8Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
An RPG Without The Fantasy
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Fextralife Wiki
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2isan outstanding RPGthat brings back the hardcore, old-school aspects that a game like Oblivion Remastered exemplifies. There is very little handholding, and while you have quest markers, you are not told how to perform every little action, and you’ll need to figure a lot of stuff out for yourself to progress.
It similarly has a gorgeous open world to explore with tons of secrets and quests to discover, completely based on how much you’re willing to interact with the world.
The writing is amazing here, with a serious story, compelling characters, and, unlike Oblivion Remastered, a compelling protagonist. This game keeps alive the scrolls-like feeling and outdoes it thoroughly on the combat front, so it’s an easy recommendation.
7Fallout: New Vegas
Walk Your Own Path
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegasis much different than its other brethren in that there are so many ways to get through the story. You have so much freedom here, and while many games claim this, every playthroughmight be completely different here, depending on your choices.
The openness of the game is what makes it feel so much like Oblivion Remastered. You can follow the main story, sure, but outside of that, there is so much to do and see. The open world is full of secrets, both terrifying and fascinating to discover, and what order you find them or engage with them is completely up to you.
6Starfield
The Elder Scrolls In Space
A consistent meme whenStarfieldcame out was that it was Skyrim in space, but really, it shared a lot more in common with Oblivion than anything.
Starfield’s primary goal is to give you unparalleled freedom with its gameplay.Whether it achieved that or not is debatable, but this universe is your oyster. There are countless side quests, things to discover on your own, people to talk to, secrets to discover, and it’s all completely up to you to find them.
It mimics the freedom that Oblivion has because of how separate everything feels. Certain questlines in Oblivion Remastered feel like their own game, and with Starfield, that feeling is the same.
5The Elder Scrolls Online
All Of The Scrolls In One
Elder Scrolls Online
As a slight spinoff of the base Elder Scrolls series,The Elder Scrolls Onlinelets you have your cake and eat it, too. Can’t choose which your favorite Elder Scrolls is? Well, here are all of them in one wildly content-packed package.
you may experience every land imaginable here, from Cyrodiil to Skyrim and beyond. The story is a massive one, with so many branching parts that while you can experience a lot of Oblivion, you can also venture to other lands from different games. The content offering here is simply huge.
I prefer the combat here to Oblivion Remastered, as it’s more polished and allows for more flexibility in your playstyles. The dungeons in Cyrodiil are also far more intricate than what you’d find there, while maintaining the same vibe and improving upon them in the process.
4Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
Another Revived RPG Classic
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
While Oblivion: Remastered is the talk of the open-world RPG world this year,Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoningcame out a few years ago and was a solid update to an already great RPG.
I think the feeling of whimsy and wonder that Oblivion has is fully reflected with Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning. The story here is the big highlight, with a tale penned by author R.A. Salvatore that is both intriguing and deep, with tons of lore to discover that makes the world feel all the more real.
The combat here is also pretty great, with an action focus that really challenged the idea that RPG combat had to suck at the time. You will be slashing, dual-wielding, and delivering finishing moves that would make prime God of War games blush. It’s a great experience that deserves a look from any Oblivion Remastered fan, and especially any RPG fan.
3Dragon Age: Inquisition
A Mysterious Savior
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dragon Age: Inquisitionisa big, deep gamethat can be easy to get lost in if you’re not careful. Coincidentally, Oblivion Remastered can be described as much of the same.
The story feels incredibly similar to Oblivion here, with a mysterious stranger recruited to close demon portals that are opening all over the place, and you close both in story moments and side quests.
Does that sound familiar to you? It should, because things play out in eerily similar fashion here. Despite the games being noticeably different in many aspects, the one holding both together is fundamentally the same.
The combat is a bit different in Dragon Age: Inquisition, however, with it being based around squad mechanics and smart use of cooldown powers, but you’ll still have a mix of melee and magic abilities to juggle with more unlocking throughout the game.
2The Outer Worlds
Focused And Vast
The Outer Worlds
The Outer Worldsis a unique experience and a smaller one compared to most RPGs, but it feels so much like Oblivion Remastered, from the quirky tone to the exact POV in any conversation.
It has a bunch of side quests to explore and companions to recruit. But it’s the tone that feels so similar. Oblivion Remastered has a quirkiness to it that is matched fully here by The Outer Worlds.
There is this semi-seriousness to everything that is a bit much at times, but at others, it adds to the already great gameplay and mission design. Your creativity is rewarded here in big ways, giving you the choice on how you want to approach a mission. You will be surprised by the variety of ways you can finish each mission.
The Story Matters
I always loved how in Oblivion Remastered, you could do side quests that feel directly connected to the larger plot. Whether it’s completing the numerous Oblivion Gates or taking on side quests related to the Mythic Dawn, you could experience the plot in a larger way.
Avoweddoes the same type of thing. While there is a main story, there are also several side stories that add a ton to what’s happening in the main plot, from character developments to being able to change what the outcome of certain events are.
It makes the journey feel cohesive and that your every move has a chance to impact what happens in the future. Most importantly, it doesn’t bind you to the main quest and makes your side journeys feel just as important to the overall conflict.
