Shooters with a lot of weapons. Online shooters with pumping

10 Grand Theft Auto Online

The character editor in GTA Online is not the best (the appearance of the hero is determined not by the sliders, but by the genetic code of the parents), but if you go to the hairdresser directly in the game, you can get stuck there for a long time, going through stacks of prepared beards, mustaches, hairstyles and tattoos. And in the local store you will find a huge number of additional "goodies": T-shirts, bandanas, leather jackets and other paraphernalia of a real bandit. The events of this online game take place 2 months before the single player campaign, but the set of entertainment is absolutely identical: shooting at cops, robbing stores, visiting strip clubs, senseless and merciless scuffle on the streets.

9 Blade & Soul

Before diving into the world of ancient Korea, the game offers a short trip into the realm of shiny latex and combat nightgowns. The local editor is unusually cool in terms of variety of choice, but marked by a stamp of concentrated glamour. The characters in Blade & Soul look like living dolls that someone accidentally doused with sunflower oil. It looks beautiful, sexy, but completely unrealistic. In the game itself, “doboki” are waiting for you - suits for taekwondo classes, which in the game have nothing to do with this martial art. It's just a collective name for armored swimsuits, which number in the hundreds.

8.Aion

Despite its age (Aion was released in 2007), this MMORPG will still outperform many character customization games. Its editor traditionally offers a solid set of eyebrows, ears, eyes and other body parts, from which, unlike the same Blade & Soul, you can mold a completely realistic character. And you can, on the contrary, make a completely insane quasi-fashion with big hands, tiny legs and a hypertrophied head. After 10 years, this classic MMORPG feels great: 32 (!) updates, a huge number of awards (including a whole stack of "Best Game of the Year" titles), 6 localizations and a consistently high online for the entire duration of the game.

7. Spore

Probably the only game in which you can create new biological species. It all starts with an ordinary cage, which joyfully splashes in the primeval broth and mates with its relatives. The fun begins with the second stage, when the cell turns into a multicellular creature. You determine its shape and other features yourself - the number of tails, horns and other gills in the local editor is huge. The most interesting thing is that the resulting freak will be viable no matter what you stuffed it with. This is where the adventures of the crazy biologist end, and the adventures of the couch strategist begin - in the next stages of evolution, you have to steer entire tribes and civilizations.

6. Archeage

5. The Sims 4

A real life constructor in which the characters go about their business, even if you do not press a single button for hours. In the fourth part of Maxis, the editor has been significantly updated: now it is not a standard set of sliders, but a completely manual setting. We take the Sim by the ear / mouth / nose / eyebrow and pull in the right direction. With the body, everything is the same: if you wish, you can create a good-natured fat man, a steroid jock or an anorexic preoccupied with weight. The only thing that spoils the impression is the sterile textures, because of which the characters look like plastic mannequins.

4 Saints Row 4

In fact, a clone of GTA 5 with a parodic bias, in which there was a place for racing, puzzles, superpowers and even aliens. Who kidnapped one of the "saints" and put them into the virtual reality of Steelport, where the main character can bend spoons with the power of thought, throw fireballs and cause earthquakes. The character editor in Saints Row 4 allows you to mercilessly bend eyebrows and other parts of the face, and thus create not just unique heroes, but heroes that look like real celebrities (YouTube is full of videos where players easily sculpt “Keanu Reeves” and “Mike Tysons”) . In the game itself, everything lends itself to customization, from the color of socks to the butt of a plasma gun.

3. EVE Online

It's a paradox, but in a game where the character's avatar is displayed as a static picture in the chat, one of the most technologically advanced editors. These are all echoes of the 2011 Incursion add-on, which was supposed to be the basis for the introduction of the notorious “walking through the stations”. They did not manage to get to the stations, limiting themselves to absolutely meaningless walking around their own cabin. The idea, frankly, is not very smart, given that EVE Online is a purely space MMORPG. Plans for the implementation of full-fledged heroes were shelved, but the sediment editor remained, becoming a kind of tombstone for the developers' attempts to bring elements of casualness into Eve. In general, everything is great in this game with character customization, but there is not much point in trying in the editor.

2 Fallout 4

RPG, shooter and "desert scavenger simulator" in one bottle. To date, this is the largest and most detailed post-apocalyptic "sandbox" with complete freedom of choice, an unrealistically cool crafting system "of everything" and a cool editor. The game was created on the Skyrim engine, so it looks clumsy in places, but in terms of the elaboration of the world around it, it has practically no competitors. The world of the insane Wasteland, created by the developers of Bethesda, is unusually attractive with its rusty atmosphere of general decline, in which the protagonist looks like an alien element. A worthy continuation of the series and a good reason to spend 400 hours at the computer - exactly how much, according to the authors, you will need to complete the main and side quests.

1. Black Desert

The character editor in this online game turned out to be so cool that the developers even released a separate version of it. Only the face in the editor has 38 zones, and each of them has 9 sliders. What can I say, if even the length of the phalanges of the fingers can be adjusted. Depending on your goals, the output can be either a frank freak like the Joker, or a beautiful beauty that you can even now send to the cover of a glossy magazine. The game itself is a great representative of a non-target MMORPG with a huge open world and large-scale battles for territories.

The best weapon customization games

Well, for those who are not enough to customize the appearance of the hero, we offer the top five projects with weapon customization. This is not about skins that fall out of loot boxes, but about detailed weapon customization to please your inner maniac.

5 Dead Rising 3

Killing zombies is always fun, but it's even more fun to do it in unusual ways. Dead Rising 3 offers everything you need for such entertainment. From the local piece of iron, you can sculpt completely insane devices, like a murderous shopping cart or a toy helicopter with blades instead of blades. The number of options is huge, and the outcome is not always predictable, which only adds to the absurdity of what is happening.

4. Payday 2

3. Combat Arms: Line of Sight

A strong representative of online shooters with one small feature. Customization of weapons here is implemented at the highest level. Everything is customizable: stores, muzzle brakes, sights, silencers, stocks, appearance. Each change is reflected in the characteristics of the "trunk", which is kindly reported in the appropriate column. Unfortunately, most of the bells and whistles are available for donations. And in Line of Sight there are about 25 game modes, which, in fact, is a record.

2. Escape from Tarkov

1Ghost Recon Wildlands

The war against drug cartels requires appropriate equipment. And the game provides it. There are 89 basic types of weapons here, and each of them can be modified beyond recognition. True, first you have to find the right parts, and they are scattered throughout the game world. Which, by the way, turned out to be indecently large. The main means of deporting bad guys to another world will be a sniper rifle, but other equipment is also in demand. Even a banal flare gun can be useful, for example, to divert the attention of base guards. Graphically, Ghost Recon Wildlands leaves a mixed feeling, but this is offset by a well-implemented co-op.

Oh, it's a pity the good Austrian doctor Sigmund Freud did not find the blessed times of the appearance, formation and development of video games - if only he had food for thought and a reason to write countless scientific treatises! For example, when a young man in some RPG creates a girl and plays for her - what is it? Some latent danger? Or is it still a normal, peasant desire NOT to look at the fifth point of the ward man for 60, 120 or even all 400 hours? You can't figure it out without old Freud.

At the same time, the creation of a character - regardless of gender - is a very, very troublesome business. So, to need a psychiatrist or sexologist - it's still necessary to try. Otherwise, it would not be necessary to call a plastic surgeon, or even a specialist in euthanasia. So to speak, so that the most hopeless virtual creatures do not suffer.

Whether the developers of some games intentionally do this, or it happens by accident, but often the editors of character creation come out too funny or scary (or funny AND scary at the same time). In general, we decided to rank the five most egregious cases - especially since the reason is just wonderful. Spoiler alert: he's number one.

5. Saints Row IV

Author's IMHO: Saints Row III and IV are the Best Character Creation Editors of All Time. But these masterpieces of software engineering still had to be classified as inadequate. Because in the mentioned parts of Saints Row, having played well with the settings, you can create such a dream woman who will make all the stars of the podiums of Milan, Paris and London feel flawed, and all the feminists will burst with indignation.

The naked sexism of Volition will make you regret that the age of 3D printers that print cyborgs has not yet arrived, and the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea is just a myth. In fact, the character editor in Saints Row IV (and III, don't forget!) can be called the most adequate. Indeed, thanks to its extraordinary flexibility, it is possible to create a very corpulent girl who will stop a galloping horse, enter a burning hut, and crush any politically incorrect body shader with her immense ... intellect.

In addition, the girls who played in Saints Row - are there any of these!? - they could come up with any male character they wanted: an alpha jock, a slender handsome man, or a hybrid of these two key ingredients in any proportions. Unfortunately, Volition then chose to take the easiest - conformist - path: there was no scandalous editor in Gat out of Hell, and the new Agents of Mayhem, judging by the demo, will be a game for children.

4. Technomancer

Honor and praise to Focus Home Interactive and Spiders for the mere fact of their existence. The world of game development has long been split into two polar camps: AAA and indie. And only a few dinosaurs, on the brink of extinction, are still at risk of creating 2A products, although the roar of an approaching meteorite is heard louder and louder.

Actually, Technomancer isn't all that bad. We even recommend giving it a try at Steam's deepest sale. And what? Dashing coarse Dark Souls threads to the budget Mass Effect is not a bad idea. If you do not support such games with a long ruble, dollar and euro, then you yourself will then find yourself alone with the trinity of EA - Activision Blizzard - Ubisoft, and will cry that they make the same products.

But we are not talking about the game now, but about the character editor. Which is disgusting. Spiders should have abandoned the options altogether, and tried to make a complete hero, like the Witcher. But no. The player is offered to create several versions of the handsome man, and for “uniqueness” add a few scars and marks to him, which look like they were put on at the last moment by make-up interns from Bollywood. Yes, and there is no “Female” button at all. Complete failure.

3. The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (+Oblivion)

We get it: it was 2002 (and 2006), Bethesda was making character editors the best they could. Of course, what we present to you directly here for judgment are cases in extremis. But remember that pressing the Random button led to very disastrous results, albeit less harsh than the following.

Even in order to turn the originally proposed homunculus into the likeness of a great hero, it was necessary to move the sliders well. Well, to create a beauty or a handsome man, it took hours to study voluminous fan guides. And it's not even the low polygonality of these cult RPGs, released almost 15 and 11 years ago, respectively. Bethesda just screwed something up with the anatomy of the human face.

It's nice to know that a company is learning from its mistakes. In Fallout 4, by default, players were already offered a completely worthy Italian immigrant (?) With his wife. The couple did not even cause fear, and if desired, it could be turned into a real picture.

2. The Division

The Division is a great game, the author has spent countless hours in it. But there is one point for which we will never tire of criticizing the creation of Ubisfot, and this is not even a balance in the dark zone. And the character editor. “Well, where are you, girls?” - asks the once popular ensemble Hands Up in their song of the same name, and we join this cry of the soul.

No, of course, unlike Technomancer, The Division has a female gender. But he's kind of androgynous. A set of six faces of homosexual singers and tired black pharmacists is unlikely to inspire anyone. And it's not just the faces. Surely many of you know the joy of trying on a new armor for a character, especially if it is the Adamantium Thong of Wisdom or the Silver Corset of Agility. But in The Division, your ward only has 20 colorful down jackets and 20 shapeless cargo pants. Eroticism over 9000.

The creative team behind The Division talked about their desire to see female heroines in a girl next door game before release. That is, they should look like an ordinary neighbor. The author has not been to New York, but is inclined to assume that there are neighbors there that will make you rock. And Ubisoft, most likely, just wanted to avoid any feminist showdown with Anita Sarkesian, who at that time was at the peak of her popularity.

1. Conan: Exiles

So we got to the great and terrible Conan, who inspired the creators of Dungeons & Dragons, in fact, to create Dungeons & Dragons. Arnold Schwarzenegger, incarnated as Conan the Barbarian, went into exile, and other exiles, that is, players, are periodically sent there - into the desert.

Norwegian FunCom, which previously released serious MMOs like The Secret World, has now hit something more fashionable and modern: open world survival. We explore, we collect, we craft, we survive, we build - in general, everything is like in Ark: Survival Evolved. Only instead of dinosaurs and jungles - the desert, giant monsters and giant ...

The fact is that at the very beginning of the game, when creating a male character, you will be asked to choose the size of the causal place. If the slider with the size of the female breast, buttocks and hips is familiar to everyone, then the same strip for the phallus is already an innovation! But what is its meaning? Maybe this is the objectification of a man, and it's time to sound the alarm, and organize a movement a la Sarkesian, only in defense of the male sex? One more question: will boys playing as male characters default to XXXL size, or will they honestly settle for more realistic sizes? After all, the junk is needed in order to make a tea bag, and curious screenshots are already appearing in the Steam community, in which tea is brewed with the help of defeated female warriors.

Summarizing. It is already necessary to sit down at the table, light candles, take a deck of cards with letters and a magnifying glass: without a spiritualistic session with Freud, it is physically impossible to understand such subtle (or thick!?) questions.

At the request of our readers, we have compiled the TOP 20 of the best RPG games of all time in our opinion. Absolutely all the games on this list have been released on PC, which makes them accessible and especially popular. The TOP includes both generally accepted masterpieces of the past, as well as the latest blockbusters of the gaming industry. Go!

21. Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura

A game from developer Troika game may seem like a little more than just Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines with its fantasy races and magical spells, but with a fair amount of steampunk technology thrown in, you're on your way to something special.

Arcanum is a tricky beast, with a lot of unbalanced turn-based combat. In addition, it is packed with a compelling storyline set in a world where magic and technology collide in a non-linear, do-what-you-want fashion.

When I first plunged into the world of Arcanum, almost everyone hated me. I had the intelligence of a baby and could barely carry on a conversation, I was an orc and I was constantly a victim of fanaticism, I could make a deal with a demon, so everyone thought I was evil. My goblin mechanic, with his arachnid constructs, weapons, and sharp tongue, had a much more successful experience. The choice made when creating a character has a significant impact on the entire game, the character's race and background, which has a tangible impact on his relationship with NPCs.

More than any other game on this list, Arcanum makes you feel like you're playing a tabletop RPG. Dungeon Masters isn't always fair and you can get dispowered, but it's still worth it to enjoy the game, thanks to character development and how the world reacts to your half-elf demon circus.

20. Shadowrun Returns/Dragonfall

Shadowrun Returns is a welcome relic of the 90s. Based on the classic tabletop RPG, this is a neo-noir cyberpunk detective with lots of magic, fantasy elements and fighting that feels like XCOM. She creates a lot of things, and they are all just wonderful. Set in a future land where science and a realm of arcane strife coexist and creatures such as elves and trolls roam the streets alongside humans, players find themselves in the guise of a shadow courier, a dark spying mercenary.

A career in Shadowrun Returns is a realistic detective story that begins with a friend's death, with the promise of retribution, and turns into a story about a conspiracy, corrupt police, serial killers, and a demented cult. Without voice acting, the recording carries the story, with a twisted sense of humor.

Free-form character formation will allow players to create all sorts of weird looks, from spirit casters who can also enter the digital realm and fight computer programs to samurai running around with a bunch of controllable robots. Investing in charisma also unlocks kinship with different types of people, corporate guards, other shady couriers or street gangs, unlocks new streets in your investigation and dialogue options.

Although the career is short and mostly linear, Dragonfall nip this issue in the bud. This is a content expansion with a hub containing many additional missions and a group of suitable characters with their own motivations and stories. The game comes with a comprehensive editor that contains the prospect of creating countless campaigns by the user. Someone has already recreated the old Shadowrun game on the SNES, which is also worthy of your attention.

19 Mount & Blade: Warband

The best game in the series Mount & Blade: Warband is an open world fantasy RPG game interspersed with medieval simulation which basically means you never have to pay attention to the real world again. Warband immerses players in a giant sandbox where six factions fight each other for supremacy, there is no story, and it leaves the player to decide what he wants to do.

Perhaps the showman in you will inspire you to become a master of the spear and champion of many tournaments, or perhaps you have a keen eye for making deals, and this will lead to the path of a wealthy merchant, and you, using your mountains of gold, will finance an army of mercenaries who will protect You, and bring fame or maybe you're just a good-for-nothing crook, and if so, then the life of a thug is for you.

Traveling around the map, you will no doubt find yourself ambushed by enemies, or maybe you will become the one who sets them up, but in any case, you will undoubtedly get into a brawl. Skill-based combat that requires bizarre leg movement, excellent timing and the right weapon and accurate attack in different situations. It's hard to figure out what's going on, but ultimately it's very useful. You will probably have an army on your side, leading to some particularly large conflicts. She can be trained, gain experience and be equipped with new equipment, although you will have to pay her a salary.

Warband has added a multiplayer mode and a variety of mods, including some impressive renovations. This game will easily consume your life if you let it.

18. South Park: The Stick of Truth

Surprisingly, South Park manages to be not only great, but also one of the best RPGs we've ever had the pleasure of playing.

This is South Park at its best. From perfectly recreates the city with a penetrating, insightful, and often grotesque satire of gaming and pop culture. Fantasy tropes, the Kardashian family, Nazi zombies, Morgan Freeman's mystical powers, they're all there.

And it's all wrapped up in an RPG that draws on many sources, from JRPG-style combat to Western open-world deals. There's even a significant portion of metroidvania research in there. Progress never stops - there's always something new around the corner, be it a new combat mechanic or a giant dildo.

South Park is a game where you can dress up a kid as a punishing Valkyrie and fight Jack Daniels slurping tramps or anus-possessed aliens - it's something incredible.

17. Deus Ex

More than an FPS/RPG hybrid, Deus Ex more than deserves a place on this list as even after 13 years it remains a pleasure to play. It is one of the best games ever released. It's probably a little old-fashioned to sing its praises, as it's been a consistent feature of just about every list of the best PC games since its release in 2001.

I could spend a lot of energy recalling a dramatic story that weaves themes of conspiracy, terrorism and transhumanism with intriguing characters in a believable dystopia of the future. I could go on and on about the degree of character modification, letting players grieve over JC Denton's twilight and long cape as a cybernetically enhanced soldier, a professional hacker, or a ghost lurking in the shadows. But what I really want to discuss is the incredible level design.

Each map is a complex sandbox for experiments. Each combat encounter has the potential to be played in strikingly different ways. Should you actually participate in said fights instead of walking past them? Secret paths, hidden stashes, informants waiting to be bribed, and confidential information revealing new routes and features that scatter levels, ensuring that when players talk about their experiences, they seem to be talking about different games.

And it's all so organic. There is usually a strong temptation for developers to clearly outline the choices that can be made, essentially explaining the objectives of the mission - where you can go and what you should do, but in Deus Ex it's a surprise to everyone. You don't know that hacking a computer and reading private letters will give you a code that allows you to defeat a tough enemy without a fight, and you don't know that a hidden item within the level will open up a previously invisible, unimaginable route to the mission goal - you you just have to go and explore.

With my sick memory, and all the places I've never been to, the fights I've missed, and the people I've never met before, going back to it a couple of years ago and playing again, it felt like it was the first time. I can't wait to play Deus Ex again in a couple of years. But you must do it now.

16. Dark Souls

Dark Souls is a masochistic RPG game. A brutal, merciless battle in a grim, dead land where the words "You're dead" begin to become an old friend, albeit derisive, is a grueling gaming scumbag, but endlessly rewarding. Each fight is a puzzle that requires skill, good timing, and listening to enemy stories. It is exhausting, because death is always a missed attack or a misunderstanding of the opponent. But it's what makes every win worthy of a prize won, creates the potential to increase power, and move on to a new, even more difficult area.

The free form character development and enemy design is top notch, both in terms of their grotesque looks and commendable cunning mechanics, and the sense of accomplishment that comes from surviving despite the weirdness that makes Dark Souls worth keeping playing. in spite of constant failures.

An unjustified old-fashioned game design philosophy pervades throughout the tense adventure, but it's also packed with modern complexity and scale. The different weapons and armor completely change the course of the battle and the feel of the character, with a heavy sword and heavy armor covered in armor having a huge, tangible impact on hitting and movement. Hidden throughout the vast, semi-open world are cornucopia trinkets and magical items that reward inquisitive players for their risky explorations of long-forgotten tombs and underground cities.

15 Divinity: Original Sin

The latest installment in the Divinity series from developer Larian isn't just a return to classic RPGs, it's a continuation of them. It's a modern game, but based on the classic design philosophy of games like Ultima and Baldur's Gate.

From our review of Divinity: Original Sin: “When I play Divinity, I return to my parent's office again, gleefully avoiding homework as I explore the vast city of Atkatla. I am indulging in hospitality at my friend's house by chatting with Lord British. And this is not because the game captivates me with nostalgia, but because it is able to evoke the same feelings: this delight of doing something crazy and watching it work, surprise when an inanimate object starts talking to me and sends me to a portal that jumps around the world. There is fantasy and excitement, and these things have become rare values. But Divinity: Original Sin is full of them.”

This is an RPG game that focuses on what the genre can be, not what it has become. Where conflict isn't all about combat, where magic can be used to solve puzzles and manipulate the environment rather than just killing enemies, and where simple, non-essential quests can be turned into rewarding, huge undertakings.

And it comes with a robust editor so you can create your own adventure, and expand the game's cooperative mode so you don't have to roam the world alone. Stopping the evil in him is, after all, a job for friends.

A sequel titled Divinity: Original Sin II has been posted on Kickstarter.

14. Legend of Grimrock 2

Legend of Grimrock 2 was released relatively recently, but it actually comes from a time when playing RPGs meant you needed a steady stream of graph paper and patience to draw a lot of cards.

It builds on the fine foundation laid by its impressive predecessor, taking four adventurers within a single, large dungeon and providing them with a whole incredibly diverse island to explore. There are towers, crypts, dungeons, forests, swamps, beaches and all sorts of fantastic locations waiting to be explored. She is huge. So big that, I confess, I needed the automap much more than in the previous game. I have so many millimeters.

Hero parties take up one tile and are essentially just their strength and combat abilities, but that's not about them. Traveling through dark and damp dungeons, intense real-time battles against hideous, often hulking, monsters, the terrible fear you feel when you get lost in a maze, puzzles that sometimes require factual notes - that's what it's all about.

Class and race selection has been greatly improved, allowing parties to deter gun-wielding scammers or farmers who gain experience by eating a single meal. Complete nonsense.

13. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

While my love for RPGs stems from Ultima, which is out of date on this list, I also love Baldur's Gate from developers Black Isle and BioWare. From the early issues of Baldur's Gate in 1998 to the expansion of Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal in 2001, the adventurers' succession of plans, trials and tribulations from the harsh "Sword Coast" to the wealthy city of Atkatla, where magic is at mostly illegal, and beyond to the stormy kingdom of Tethura.

However, in "Baldur's Gate II" there are a lot of inaccuracies in the sequence of actions.

Dungeons & Dragons of the Land of the Forgotten Realms is meticulously recreated, filled to the brim with luxurious environments just waiting to be explored. And what are the quests in it! Hundreds of hours of rescuing villages, diving into mines, fighting mad wizards, killing gnolls, and even a trip to the Plains, explored in more detail in Planscape: The Trial, and a deadly adventure to the Underdark.

Baldur's Gate juggles wit and satire with solemnity and significance, engaging players in seemingly simple quests. It's a party of adventurers joining the hero, who of course gets none other than the notorious Minsk ranger talking to his space hamster Boo. Baldur's Gate II is also notable for having one of the best opponents of any game, John Irenicus, masterfully voiced by top notch villain stunt double David Warner. Arrogant, powerful, and disfigured with a hint of tragedy around him, Irenicus has all the hallmarks of a classic villain, and even though not present for most of the game, his influence permeates everything around him.

12 Torchlight II

If you are looking for an action RPG game, then Torchlight II is for you. There is no time for an intriguing plot or interesting characters, they will only get in the way of many - and I really mean a huge number - on the way to loot and a ruthless horde of monsters.

Torchlight II is a fast-paced game that sees its players running across the vast map, slaughtering oceans of enemies, and never stopping to catch their breath (unless you're on a fishing trip). Gold and items explode from fallen foes in absurd amounts, covering the ground with treasures and trinkets. There's always some new trinket to play with, some new, colorful armor to show off, or powerful items to buy that give the game a constant sense of advancement and trap that will keep you hooked into your world for hours.

Even though there are only four classes in the game, each of them has three separate skills associated with different combat styles that completely change the class. One of the Engineers might be a heavily armored tank, engaging with a comically large hammer, while another might be chasing enemies from afar with an equally comically large gun. Within each class, there are tons of completely different skills, inspiring experiments, and multiple playthroughs.

And, of course, everything looks bloody beautiful. It may be a game of robbery and murder, but there's no rule that says it can't be bright and colorful. The monster designs are exemplary, featuring a whole host of bizarre nasties to kill, and colossal bosses that are both mechanically and visually impressive.

"Torchlight II" also allows you to travel with a pet. Having good taste, I am never without my trusty bulldog, unless I send him to shops to sell the loot. Yes, these animals are mercantile specialists. If all this isn't worth the price of entry, then I don't know what is.

11 Mass Effect 2

Married to the sub-genres of speculative fiction and soap opera, Mass Effect 2 is BioWare's greatest achievement in terms of peace, or rather the rise of the galaxy. The exploration and pseudoscience of Star Trek, the cinematic action of Battlestar Galactica and the fantasy elements of Star Wars or the squishy science fiction of the early 20th century are all brought together and artfully combined.

Humans are newcomers who have recently joined the galactic community, and they must stir up everything around them in order to get the older races to recognize the growing threat to their existence. How do they do it? With the help of a temperamental soldier, of course. Commander Shepard is a great character because he is my character. It's impossible to characterize him because for many, he is actually her, and instead of being a gray-haired, oppressed, glory-hunting hero, as was the case in my game, he or she can be a cruel, racist bastard, or a paragon of virtue that doesn't let anyone die.

There is an entire galaxy to explore, with completely realistic alien races steeped in lore, settlements to escape, smugglers to kill, or dead ends to complete. But Mass Effect 2 is really about preparing for a suicide mission against the odds. All honest company of aliens must be recruited, and their allegiance must be won, in case there is any hope of destroying a threat that most of the galaxy seems to be ignoring.

Dramatic and artful scenery, if not particularly interesting, then the team combat, underlined by the BioWare trademark, excellent dialogues and just wandering around alien locations are not a joke. Put aside your disbelief for ten minutes and you'll be on a hell of a sci-fi ride.

There are plenty of games with the creation of your own hero. Here is a list of the best games that have a very good character editor. If you want even more games where you can create your own hero or character, then look towards or life simulators.

Series (The Elder Scrolls)

Release date: 1994-2014

The Elder Scrolls is one of the most famous and loved by gamers series of RPG games with a completely open fantasy world. Each part of the "Old Scrolls" is an amazing adventure, where the main character is not bound hand and foot by the main plot, but is free to choose what to do and where to go. A lot of different quests, branched character development and a huge game world without "seams" and reloads - these are the main features of the series. Skyrim is also included in .

In the penultimate part, called Oblivion, the graphics and mechanics were seriously “tweaked” in the game, they also added a detailed character editor that allows you to create not just a faceless and nameless avatar, but literally your own or a copy of one of the celebrities. In the last part of the series - Skyrim, all the successful gameplay developments have been further developed, and today The Elder Scrolls Skyrim can be called without a twinge of conscience one of the best RPGs of all time!

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Release date: 2003

Saints Row is a series of games in which the player has to control the leader of the Saints gang, conquer the city and free it not only from rival gangs, but even from aliens. Despite the fact that the first part of Saints Row was created with an obvious eye on the famous GTA, the game has its own unique features and features that earned it the love and respect of gamers around the world (in particular, some unreality and even surrealism of what is happening).

So in particular, if in the same GTA the main character is always a specific person, then in Saints Row our protagonist is always freely customizable. At the same time, you can change your appearance, physique, race and even gender not only before the start of the game, but also in the process, visiting special plastic surgery clinics.
