I play mostly sci-fi games but I enjoy a good ol’ swordfighting once in a while.
What could you suggest as a good single player action game with melee and maybe a dash of spellcasting/“powers” ? It can be TPS or FPS
Although it should (here comes the nitpicking) :
not be a stealth game or stealth-adjacenr like Assassin’s Creed or Shadow Of Mordor
not be a souls-like (I play for fun, not to puke blood)
have health regen (at least out of combat) or any mean to heal without having to look after potions or food while out of combat
If possible a good story would be a major plus, but it doesn’t need to be The Witcher level of good. And I’m more than fine with AA games, or older games as long as the art direction is nice.
EDIT: thanks for the suggestions, I realize I should have mentionned the “similar” games I’ve already played :
The Witcher trilogy
Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim
Dragon’s Dogma
God Of War (liked the combat, not the difficulty)
Darksiders
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003 video game)
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge
Vermintide (even though it’s not single player, but great game)
Journal got pretty good once they had topics and searchability, I recall playing on og Xbox as a kid, don’t think it was nearly that useful.
I love the game but yeah, I’d kill for some placeable map markers personally, I like the journal but don’t love flipping back to make sure I’m going in the right direction constantly because I got distracted by something on the way.

Morrowind best game imo. OpenMW is a great experience.
I respect it, but I wasn’t prepared to take notes, so I didn’t get real far.
I didn’t personally take any notes, but I did use a map with all the places already marked. Because without one finding things is absolutely awful lol
Yeah, I had no map.
