So I have been PC gaming for around a year and I have yet to find a really good game that has a good story with a good adventure feel. I play Bioshock Infinite and I really really love it but I can't play it day to day unless I am recording for my YouTube series and that is a bummer. But I am looking for a game like it. I am just tired of FPS and Minecraft is getting stale. I do not want to start hating Minecraft so I will need another game to fulfill my gaming needs of a really in-depth story with great gameplay.

 

I am also looking for something with really good graphics that I will be able to run with 0 issues on 1080p.

 

Skyrim is possible, but I want to seek other options!

 

My PC specs if needed.

League of Legends

Hearthstone

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, fantastic story, tons of content, massive world, awesome combat, and an appealing aesthetic that is executed very nicely. Overall it's a fantastic game and is very worthy of your time, there is a demo but the demo is buggy as it was handled by a different company that had no part in the development of the actual game. I've got several hundred hours in KoA and I've never seen a single bug or glitch and the only time it crashed was when I reinstalled it on my new rig and Steam forgot to install 4GB of the game. It can also be run at the highest settings on Intel HD2500 at 30-40FPS @1600x900 so it can run on pretty much anything.

If you do decide to get the game be sure to get the Teeth of Naros and Dead Kel DLC's as they are excellent, you can skip the weapon and armor pack however because the gear can be replaced very quickly although it does look pretty cool.

 

 

On a side note a lot of people are suggesting FPS games when the OP clearly stated they are tired of them, please read the OP people instead of just throwing out barely related replies in an attempt to get your post count up
