Hey everyone!

I’ve really enjoyed my time playing Guild Wars 2 and Elder Scrolls Online, but I’ve kind of played them to death now and also can’t get any more of my friends to play.

I’m wondering if there are any other games with the following gameplay, in order of importance:

  • Can play both singleplayer and multiplayer
  • Real time, action combat (ie. I’m not a huge fan of the very rotation-heavy combat of other MMOs like WoW)
  • Some level of role support (eg. tank, healer, etc), but they can be soft (GW2) or hard (ESO)
  • Some level of story
  • RPG character building
  • Preferably a lot of open world to explore, but linear path is also fine
  • Some way to at least trial the game for free

Any suggestions? Any device support is fine, but preference for PC. And any era is also fine; I don’t mind if the game is new, 40 years old, or anywhere in between.

    Nice to meet a fellow ESO fan! Seems like Diablo 4 meets all the requirements except free trial.

      I absolutely loved D2, and had a bit of fun with D3. I guess I wouldn’t classify them as part of what I’m looking for though, because they’re more about “playing near each other” rather than “working together”.

      Unless D4 is different in this way? I do hope to try it one day, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t interest my friend group, sadly.
