Articles The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance duology from Czech studio Warhorse stands alone in the action RPG genre. Instead of the usual fantasy trappings — magic, dragons, and a chosen-one hero saving the world — KCD offers the harsh realism of medieval Europe and a detailed simulation of an ordinary man's life caught up in the whirlwind of history. No spells, close attention to the social order and daily life of the 15th century, and a combat system built on real fencing techniques set the series apart from everything else on the market.

The most demanding PC games are not the same thing as poorly optimized games. They are projects that put high-end hardware under real pressure for the sake of actual technology and visuals. The distinction matters, and this list follows it strictly. A demanding game pushes a top-tier graphics card and CPU because it is rendering expensive tech: path tracing and full ray tracing, Nanite and Lumen in Unreal Engine 5, dense world simulation, and the streaming of vast open spaces without loading screens. The drop in frame rate is compensated by a clear visual payoff: on a flagship system, these projects become showcases for what a PC can do and rank among the best-looking games of today. Crysis once set the bar, and the question “but can it run it?” became a meme for years. Today, there are far more games like that: they demand powerful hardware, but at least they justify it with their visuals.

22 most beautiful games with ray tracing share one thing: an RT graphics card finally shows what it can really do, because lighting, reflections, and shadows are calculated with physical accuracy instead of being faked through rasterization. We've rounded up 22 of the best — from titles where RT can't be switched off at all, to flagships with full path tracing, to classics that ray tracing transformed beyond recognition. When the technology first showed up in 2018, plenty of people wrote it off as a marketing gimmick — dozens of games on this list prove they were wrong.

The first half of 2026 has already dropped a stack of strong releases, and with GTA 6 and Marvel's Wolverine still to come, there's plenty to keep you busy in the meantime. This is our running list of the best games to play right now across PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2 — some brand-new, others a few years old but still at the top of their genre thanks to regular updates. We've split everything by genre, so jump to whatever you're in the mood for. One thing to set straight up front: this is a "what to play now" list, not a "came out this year" one. A few entries are older, but they keep pulling players back with new seasons, expansions and patches.

Role-playing games (RPGs) are one of the most popular genres in the industry. This list brings together the best RPGs in history — from the classics of the 90s (Fallout, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment) to major new releases: the GOTY hit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Obsidian's Avowed, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Chinese hit Black Myth: Wukong, and the sequel The Outer Worlds 2. We divided all role-playing games into eight themed categories: open-world RPGs, isometric CRPGs, story-driven single-player RPGs, Soulslikes, JRPGs, Diablo-likes, genre classics, and indie projects — so you can quickly find exactly the type of RPG you are looking for right now.

The insiders weren't lying. The remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has indeed been in development all these years, and most importantly, its release occurred right after a full announcement. A true gift for fans of great role-playing games and the original 2006 project. This time, Bethesda didn't just settle for a light touch-up of the outdated visuals, as they did with Skyrim, but allowed Virtuos to modernize the classic and refine its gameplay rough edges. Looking ahead, we can immediately note: from a game design perspective, the game hasn't aged a bit, and the impressions from it are two heads above the recent Avowed. We were delighted to return to the familiar Cyrodiil to see the quality of the remaster firsthand and tell you why you should try Oblivion (if you missed it at release) or play it again from start to finish.

The rumors were confirmed — Bethesda held a presentation where they announced the release of the remaster Oblivion. The game has really been transformed and began to look like a modern project. But is there any point in buying it in 2025? You will find the answer to this question in our article.
