If you're looking for the next great RPG to dive into after The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, one has just seen its full release today, May 23. Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon has just left early access, has great reviews on Steam (and from our review-in-progress), and is getting a lot of endearing Elder Scrolls comparisons.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a first-person fantasy RPG from developer Questline, and has a Very Positive rating from more than 4,500 reviews on Steam, with recent reviews even achieving Overwhelmingly Positive. Multiple users cite a distinct Elder Scrolls flair, comparing it to both Oblivion and Skyrim in its gameplay and open-world exploration. Fall of Avalon takes the bulk of its narrative cues from Arthurian legend, but is set 600 years after the mythic king has died, resulting in a dark fantasy world that has similar vibes to Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
It's been a long road to release for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. It initially entered early access in March 2023, and even then, in its incomplete state, players were singing its praises. Many early access reviews can still be read on...
