Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom

Building Up The Kingdom Of Evermore Is A Lot Of Fun

Ni no Kuni 2 lacks a lot of what makes the first game so special, even if the combat system is a notable improvement over its predecessor. The narrative and vibes of this title aren’t as compelling as its predecessor, but Revenant Kingdom makes up for it in other ways.

After a few chapters, players gain the opportunity to build the kingdom of Evermore and make it prosper. This much-welcome management distraction is quite rewarding and doesn’t alienate players by being a bit too complex for players looking to play an RPG first.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Players Can Mold Skyhold In Their Image

After Dragon Age 2 disappointed many fans with its reduced scope, Inquisition felt like a much-needed step in the other direction. Not only was the scope of this RPG more epic than ever before, but players can eventually become the Inquisition’s leader and play an active role in upgrading their base.

Skyhold is pretty run-down and unimpressive when players get their hands on this fortress, but it doesn’t need to stay like this for long. With enough resources, players can govern the kind of structures that can crop up in Skyhold, molding the base in their image and helping the Inquisition look more powerful than ever.

The beauty of Fallout 4‘s settlement-building system is something more fans need to familiarize themselves with first. It’s easy to scoff at what feels like a tacked-on feature, only for players to prioritize this act over everything else as they explore the game world.

With mods, settlement building becomes even more cathartic as arbitrary restrictions are removed from the player. They can also enjoy a greater variety of creations to build in their favorite bases, leading to players investing endless hours in this side of the game alone.
