Recently I wanted to play a magical combat game and Hogwarts legacy seemed to be mostly what I was looking for so I ethically acquired a copy. Unfortunately even with DRM removed it runs very poorly on my laptop.

Looking through steam games tagged magic, I didn’t manage to find something similar. Most of the games I saw were either top-down/side-scroll (I’m looking for FPS/TPS) or had magic systems simpler than in Skyrim (I want magical combat to be the main focus).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Others have brought up Dark Messiah which I think is a very decent rec.

    Dragon Age Origins has some pretty powerful mages, but it might lack the physicality you’re after.

    For Bethesda games I think magic is much better in Morrowind and Oblivion than Skyrim

    Also, this is a little niche but Dragons Dogma has some awesome mages. It’d a little punchier and more action oriented than most western RPGs.

    Lastly, Guild Wars 2 has surprisingly fun combat for a decade old MMO and it’s free.
