Fantasy games take you away from any semblance of the real world, instead trading in unique worlds and universes, often featuring magic, but sometimes leaning into fantasy technology as well. These games are often in the RPG genre, and many of them feature open-worlds as well. The most important and defining aspect of fantasy games is their settings, featuring magical creatures and special powers.

There are tons of fantastic offerings, but we've narrowed it down to 15 of the best fantasy games. While we tried to get a nice mix of titles on the list, we've focused on more modern games, since those are readily available to pick up and play on modern platforms.

One of the standouts is Avowed, a massive FPS RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. Set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, players explore the Living Lands, an island threatened by a mysterious disease. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3, set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, offers a deep narrative structure and classic RPG elements that ensure a rich gaming experience.

Another impressive title includes Elden Ring, an action RPG that captures players' hearts with its stunning fantasy setting and challenging gameplay. These are just a few of the must-play titles!
