10 Humongous Video Games You'll Completely Lose Yourself In

10. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The only criticism of Skyrim, and Bethesda games in general, is that they can be too open. Creating your character at the start is always a thrill, but after battling through caves and dungeons, all of a sudden... you can go literally anywhere.

What's left before you is 15 square miles of mountains, towns, cities, dungeons, caves, dwarven ruins, elven castles - all of which are populated with exciting characters, quests, permanent, lasting choices, and the most hideous spiders ever.

Seriously, fantasy RPGS. Why always spiders?

The scale of the game is so epic that it's virtually impossible to complete. The main story may take you 30 hours, but once you inevitably delve into a sidequest that takes your fancy, you'll soon find yourself over the 100 hour mark.

It might be smaller than it's cousin, Fallout 4, but is without parallel for choice and variety.
