With\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>just around the corner,\u00a0fans are more than hyped to dive into another\u00a0open-world RPG<\/a>\u00a0from the franchise \u2014\u00a0this time with a decidedly\u00a0Nordic backdrop framing\u00a0the stealthy action they know and love.\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>definitely won’t be the first game set in that time period. But given that it’ll be a hot minute before the title drops, those very fans might need something to tide them over.<\/p>\n

Whether they’re open-world adventure titles or simply share thematic similarities with the wintry Nordic setting of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla,\u00a0<\/em>these games should help fill the gap while fans patiently await their turn to see how well Vikings factor into the Assassin’s Creed<\/em> formula.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The Witcher 3<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There\u00a0will likely be more than a\u00a0few similarities between\u00a0Witcher 3<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0the upcoming game\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla<\/em>. The\u00a0Witcher 3\u00a0<\/em>is an amazing open-world RPG game that has received universal acclaim, and it takes more than a few cues from classical folklore and\u00a0mythology.\u00a0It has a beautiful branching story that players feel in control of, a huge world to explore, tons of side quests, and unparalleled combat mechanics<\/a>, making it a no-brainer for fans of the Assassin’s Creed<\/em> franchise’s deep into deeper RPG territory.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Need we say more?\u00a0Skyrim<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was 2011’s GOTY, and for a legion of fans all over the globe, it likely remained there for several years to come (on a personal level, anyway). The thematic overlap is likely obvious here, with the heavily Nordic-inspired setting of Skyrim itself. There’s also the fact that this is more than enough to keep one busy in Valhalla<\/em> hits \u2014\u00a0<\/em>this massive open-world RPG features a\u00a0virtually limitless\u00a0range of quests<\/a>, from helping out the locals with a rat infestation to slaying huge dragons, and that’s before considering the incredible depth of easily-accessible community generated mods, some of which could be games unto themselves.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Dark Souls 3<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dark Souls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is an action RPG game centered around huge bosses and challenges<\/a>. All\u00a0of the well-worn memetic references to its difficulty aside, the fun in\u00a0Dark Souls 3<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is the thrill of achievement. There is the utmost fulfillment of slaying an overwhelming goliath in\u00a0Dark Souls 3.<\/em><\/p>\n

Recent\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>games’ combat actually plays to a vein that’s\u00a0similar to that seen in the\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>games, though the rhythm of combat in Dark Souls<\/em> is far more purposeful and deadly. Whether in PVP or PVE, Dark Souls <\/em>combat demands attention to detail, determination, and a willingness to learn from one’s mistakes. Dark Souls 3<\/em> is the latest installment in the series, though really, any of the three titles would it in well here.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Ghost of Tsushima<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ghost of Tsushima<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>has the same adrenaline-pumping fulfillment\u00a0Dark Souls\u00a0<\/em>has, and its combat mechanics and the beautifully majestic world should be things any\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>fan worth their salt can eagerly sink their teeth into. Fighting in\u00a0Ghost Of Tsushima <\/em>demands quick reflexes and a sharp eye, making players feel like a true swordsman\u00a0during the Mongol invasion of Japan. Slaying enemies feels honorable as it is satisfying, with some new skills and strategies to pick up after every encounter. If players find the combat of\u00a0Origins<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Odyssey<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>impactful and mesmerizing, then they will love\u00a0Ghost Of Tsushima.<\/em><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is arguably one of the best medieval games<\/a> centered around immersive medieval combat. The game takes place in Bohemia after the region is plunged into war, and invading soldiers are mercilessly pillaging the countryside. Players take control of Henry, a survivor who joins the resistance to raise arms against the invasion.\u00a0Kingdom Come: Deliverance\u00a0<\/em>places huge importance on historical accuracy and simulated combat realism. The mechanics aren’t something that will instantly click with\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>fans, but the attention\u00a0paid to historical accuracy surely will.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Far Cry Primal<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Far Cry Primal<\/a><\/em>\u00a0takes the historical setting just a wee bit past Valhalla<\/em>‘s, to say the least, but\u00a0its fast-paced action and open-ended exploration would likely have a\u00a0similar feeling to\u00a0Valhalla’s\u00a0<\/em>voyage-centered gameplay.\u00a0In\u00a0Primal,\u00a0<\/em>players control a stone-age neanderthal\u00a0possessing predatory agility and bear-like strength; the same way\u00a0the Vikings in\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>have brutal man-crushing abilities but also boast the sneakiness of a cat.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Ranking Every Assassin<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Far Cry\u00a0<\/em>games are amazing games to play when anticipating upcoming\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>titles in general, really. The map exploration, side quests and activities, and\u00a0so on appeal to the very same instincts.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Hitman<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When waiting for a game about assassins,\u00a0why not spend some time\u00a0playing as the most iconic video game hitman to pass the time? The\u00a0Hitman<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series follows Agent 47; A saboteur, an infiltrator, and an artist. He’s like a sculptor who crafts the perfect kill<\/a> to eliminate a highly-secured VIP. Playing as\u00a0Agent 47, players don disguises, earn the trust of their target, sabotage key areas, and lure victims into well-placed traps; whether it be poisoning their drink or programming a billion-dollar operation machine to butcher the insides of a patient. The methodical and careful approach of the\u00a0Hitman\u00a0<\/em>games is something\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>players could gleefully spend hours on, creatively crafting the perfect kill.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>For Honor<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Another game by Ubisoft, For Honor<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>clashes together different ancient military units of different civilizations to take part in nerve-wrackingly intense duels and glorious battles of epic proportions. In this game, valiant Knights of the European dark ages collide with Japanese samurai, Norse vikings, and Chinese warriors.\u00a0For Honor\u00a0<\/em>is the ultimate\u00a0melting pot of medieval warfare. Each faction has four playable classes, and each class has its own different specializations. This makes\u00a0For Honor\u00a0<\/em>a really diverse medieval battle RPG built around an intuitive-yet-deep combat system\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>fans will love.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>God Of War<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

God Of War<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is\u00a0the latest action-adventure game in its titular franchise, this time drawing\u00a0directly on Norse mythology.\u00a0The rest of the game’s basis will be largely familiar to fans of the series \u2014 players follow Kratos on his conquest of slaying gods and mythological beasts, as per usual.<\/p>\n

Kratos is a brutal and menacing demigod whose attacks leave a lasting impact on both the player and definitely on his enemies. On top of that, it also boasts a beautiful father-son journey through the realm of Midgard.\u00a0God Of War <\/em>checks all the primary boxes for stuff prospective\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>fans are\u00a0hoping for:<\/em>\u00a0Norse mythology, stunning graphics<\/a>, and bloody combat.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The obvious game to play when waiting for a highly anticipated release would be the game that came before it.\u00a0Odyssey\u00a0<\/em>takes place in ancient Greece and possesses some of the finest graphics a Ubisoft game has ever come out with. With the many varied weapons in Odyssey,\u00a0<\/em>the combat is a huge step from previous\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>games, making it the franchise’s biggest improvement.\u00a0Odyssey\u00a0<\/em>is also the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>game most similar to the upcoming\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>with its varied dialogue selection, the option to play as male or female, and an entirely interactive world and storyline. Not to mention that with\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>just around the corner, a digital copy of\u00a0Odyssey\u00a0<\/em>could likely be bought for a huge discount.<\/p>\n
