Which dark fantasy RPG games do you recommend?

I’m looking for some good dark fantasy RPG recommendations. I’ve been considering exploring stories similar to Conan the Barbarian and want to find games that have a similar feel. I’m really interested in RPGs set in grim and hopeless worlds. Perhaps something featuring a strong warrior character armed with medieval weapons, but in a dark and twisted environment. I enjoy games where the monsters are truly terrifying and pose a real threat to humanity’s existence. The atmosphere should be heavy and despairing, showing how people struggle to survive. Do you have any suggestions for games that embody this kind of bleak fantasy universe? I want something that vividly depicts the brutal and unforgiving nature of the world.

Conan Exiles could be perfect if you’re cool with survival mechanics. You’re a barbarian in that brutal Conan world, and the combat has real weight to it. The atmosphere nails that bleak vibe. There’s nothing quite like crushing enemies with a giant two-handed sword while wearing just a loincloth.

Lords of the Fallen has heavy medieval combat against nightmarish demons in a dying world.

Dark Souls nails that grim warrior vibe with medieval weapons and genuinely scary monsters.

The Witcher series hits that brutal dark fantasy vibe perfectly. Witcher 3 drops you into a war-torn world crawling with monsters. Everyone’s terrified and barely surviving. Geralt’s basically that warrior archetype you want - just hunting monsters instead of going full barbarian. The whole thing feels pretty hopeless most of the time.

Blasphemous could be perfect for you. The pixel art’s stunning but everything feels cursed and twisted. Combat’s solid and the world just drips with despair.

Dragon’s Dogma nails the brutal monster hunting vibe. The world’s dark and gritty, and some of those creatures will genuinely make you sweat during fights.
