Action-RPG or, in other words, Action role-playing game, ARPG are computer games of this genre, in which action elements are harmoniously combined with the role-playing component. If in an ordinary classic role-playing game, success in battle depends only on the characteristics of the character, then here the rate is also placed on the personal reaction speed of a living player. In an action RPG, a lot of attention is paid to the plot, dialogue and role-playing as such. Let's take a look at the best action RPGs out there today.
Bioshock
First of all, I would like to mention the now legendary game Bioshock. All events take place here in an underwater city called Rapture. At the end of 1940, it was built, and all those who were not satisfied with the laws of the ordinary world settled here.
Over the course of time, scientists in this glorious city discovered a miracle substance that allows you to become smarter, stronger and faster. The human genetic code was rewritten in a matter of seconds. This served as the collapse of Rapture, the substance became less and less, it began to become addictive, people began to go crazy. The artificial climate systems, servicing mechanisms and other important devices were destroyed.
It is in such a dilapidated city drowning in water that the hero finds himself. This is an ordinary human from the surface who crashed near the lighthouse, which had a loophole to the city of Rapture. The protagonist has to go a long way through a fascinating plot, defending himself with the help of various firearms and super-skills.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The King of Skyrim has been slain and the entire empire is now under threat. Whole alliances arose around new claimants to the throne. All people got involved in a terrible conflict, in a power struggle. And this is not all the troubles that have descended on the snow-covered territories of the kingdom - the ancient scrolls say that merciless and cruel dragons are returning to the world.
Only one person can save the situation and his name is Dragonborn. It is with this character that we will need to play and rid the world of Skyrim from adversity. The arsenal will have such weapons as the power of the voice. According to legend, only these screams are able to defeat dragons. And, of course, the arsenal will be complemented by all sorts of swords, axes, daggers, maces, knives.
Of the pleasant things in the game, we can mention freedom of choice, an open world, wonderful graphics, and variety. There are bustling big cities, snow-capped steep mountains, and dense forests. This world is full of magic, so in addition to solid steel, there are also various spells. You can combine all this, for example, hold a sword in one hand, and some kind of spell in the other.
Fallout: New Vegas
War War never changes. This is what the famous Ron Perlman once said when voicing the intro for the classic Fallout series. And now there is an opportunity to visit the post-apocalyptic future, to put things in order there.
The player's protagonist is called Courier, he delivers an important package to New Vegas. On the way, he is ambushed and loses his cargo. The goal is to return the box and take revenge on the offenders. As in The Elder Scrolls, in this game the world is open, and it is not at all necessary to follow the main plot right away. You can run wherever you like, complete side quests, explore caves, learn the essence of the wasteland, or rob caravans.
Fallout: New Vegas is somewhat different from the third part, as it was developed by several people from the team that made the classic 1 and 2 parts. Therefore, the story turned out to be more atmospheric, the gameplay was addictive, the pumping systems were literate. Later, several great additions were released for the game, significantly expanding the game universe.
