The Elder Scrolls: Ranking Every Game From Worst To Best

5. The Elder Scrolls: Legends

The Elder Scrolls
Bethesda

Although Legends is pretty great on its own merits, compared to the other Elder Scrolls games, it doesn't come close.

That's not to say Legends doesn't have things to offer for Elder Scrolls fans. It's full of lore, references and interesting information about the franchise, but it can't really hope to replicate the same effect as the mainline titles. That's okay, but it does mean it's something of an outlier on this list.

This is a shame too, because Legends is actually pretty fun for a card game. The Hearthstone comparisons are practically unavoidable now, but the introduction of several unique mechanics mean it's a much different experience.

Really, the only thing holding Legends back is it's competition. Frankly, Legends will never manage to compete with Hearthstone, and that makes it harder to recommend. It's like trying to suggest Battleborn instead of Overwatch.

Even then, Legends can be pretty good fun for fans of The Elder Scrolls. It may not have changed the world of gaming like other games in the series, but it's great fun nonetheless.
