Elden Ring’s world is vast, magical, and full of interesting creatures that players love to fight. By the time you have finished the base game, which may take about 80 or so hours, Radagon, Mohg, Elden Beast, and more have fallen in the Lands Between, and the Tarnished have, ah…risen!
In the years since it was released, it has become one of the most popular games among players. Don’t be anxious if you still feel like going back and exploring the beautiful world despite the fact that you have finished it and its DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. Most of us have felt that.

But don’t get stuck in there. There are more such worlds out there if you have gotten a taste for games like Elden Ring. Although not all of them are necessarily set in medieval times, you will enjoy them regardless. So, let us see them now.
Hogwarts Legacy
Expanding on the paragraph above, Professor Dumbledore once said that, “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live… remember that.” Elden Ring is dreamy but get out of there and try entering the world of Hogwarts Legacy.

You won’t find Harry Potter and company here but the magical world you first saw on screen in 2001 is the same. People in portraits talking to you, you casting the spells, fighting off the creatures. There’s so much to do. And like Elden Ring, you can walk on foot. But unlike Elden Ring, you have a magic broom instead of a Torrent steed for faster travel.
Black Myth Wukong
Black Myth Wukong is a thing of beauty. It does have a vast open world but a bit less freedom to roam as compared to Elden Ring. But that won’t matter anyway. The gameplay and the storyline will make up for it.

The main character, the titular Wukong, begins as a fighter with natural abilities and goes on to learn magical spells that will aid him in his journey to ward off evil but fascinating creatures. Defeating many of these creatures, which serve more like mini bosses too, will also give you the ability to transform into them. You’ll love the headbutting spirit of Wandering Wight. It’s the most badass thing you’ll see in there.
Dark Souls Remastered
Before moving on, know that three games you are going to see now come from the developer of Elden Ring only, FromSoftware. The reason being that Elden Ring was developed keeping these games in mind only, making it similar to the subgenre players have come to know as Soulslike. And these games were developed for PS4 originally but you can play them on PS4 through backward compatibility.
Players explore the open world and fight magical creatures like dragons, phantoms, and more. You’ll fight bosses to progress in the story while also interacting with NPCs to understand new things that help shape the story.
Bloodborne
Bloodborne is set in modern times. You have similar gameplay to Elden Ring but you’ve got guns too. Instead of medieval, you will find yourself in a Gothic-Victorian world. But you sure will fight beasts and cosmic beings. The magic is certainly there.
You explore the city of Yharnam and interact with NPCs here. In Elden Ring, you are the Tarnished. In Bloodborne, you are the Hunter. You belong to one of the religious societies called Covenants and every single one of them comes with their own perspective about the fictional world in it. Like Elden Ring, it is also cited as one of the greatest games ever made.
Sekiro : Shadows Die Twice
With Sekiro, we are back with steel-forged weapons instead of guns. A katana, we should say. It is set during Japan's Sengoku period, a time when civil wars and social upheavals dominated the country.
You control a ninja here, which means you will see faster sword swinging than the Tarnished. It too has an open world but lacks the kind of freedom to roam, unlike Elden Ring. But again, the story is the strongest feature here. There aren’t many magical creatures here but there sure is one giant serpent lurking in the mountains you are trying to cross.
God of War Ragnarök
The sequel to 2018’s God of War has the freedom to roam its open world like Sekiro and the story again is the strongest point in the game. You play as the iconic Kratos, who has grown a beard since the game series shifted from Greek to Norse Mythology.
You are accompanied by your son Atreus, who is also a playable character in this game, unlike the previous one. Both are trying to prevent the catastrophic events of Ragnarök. While you will fight mystical creatures to progress through the story, there’s a giant snake here too. But he’s friendly and called the Jormungandr, popularly known as the World Serpent.
