Best games with dragons

What types of video games involve dragons?

Let’s assume that a definition of a dragon isn’t necessary. Let’s focus on another thing, which is where do we find them in video games? As we mentioned earlier, the answer isn’t really that obvious. Naturally, fantasy games have dragons in them most of the time, which doesn’t mean that role-playing titles have exclusive “access” to adding these monsters to their lore.

In fact, as far as creativity goes, a dragon can appear in a colorful platformer game that isn’t even that brutal. You could probably see this creature in a seemingly random game that doesn’t take itself too seriously if you wanted. As long as their existence makes sense within the world of the title that has a bunch of flying lizards in it, we don’t mind at all. 

What are the best games with dragons? 

So, it’s now clear that a dragon is more than often a part of a fantasy title. There are times when they’re your biggest foes, and although it requires a bit of effort, they may be tamed and become your companions. From all of these possible premises mentioned above, what are the best games with dragons?  

We just can’t start this brief introduction without mentioning  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This game has it all: fighting with dragons, taming them, riding them… And you’re even a Dragonborn, which means that the ancient dragon power resides inside you and grants you abilities that are activated by screaming. It sounds a bit weird without context, but trust us, this is a title that you may spend over 100 hours in without touching any main quests. And guess what, it’s still a blast.

Remember the bit about a happy-go-lucky platformer game that somehow has to do with dragons? Well, Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a good example of that. It’s a simple and charming story that constitutes the magic of this series. With this collection, you can familiarize yourself with the new versions of the first 3 titles featuring the lovable dragon.

The last pick, The I of the Dragon, is an older title. Isn’t it absolutely cool that you can play as one of these mysterious creatures, though? Choose one of three monsters, and unlike most games with dragons, you don’t fight with humans; you fight for them! As the world is in grave danger, someone has to do the job of rescuing it. All 3 beasts have different abilities, and gameplay varies significantly depending on which you choose. It may not be a recent title, but it is a really good one.
