Far Cry 3 - madness in the tropics 
Genre: Open World FPS Maximum number of concurrent players in the last 30 days: 1066
Social Ads: Let's be honest - neither the quite good "Four", which appeared three years after its predecessor, nor at best a good "Five" from 2018 (I do not count Primal and New Dawn for obvious reasons) caused such applause and awe among gamers as the third part.
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - I don't care about your wars 
Genre: Action TPP Maximum number of concurrent players in the last 30 days: 2547
Black Flag has divided the community of players still firmly in the Assassin's Creed series. The game received very high marks in reviews, but many fans of the series criticized Ubisoft for putting the assassins' adventures in an eighteenth-century Caribbean setting. "Good game about pirates, weak about assassins," was a comment that could be read in 2013 on many forums (and this opinion is still repeated today), where the dissatisfied gave vent to their disappointment. There is something to that, for in this piece the conflict of ancient organizations has given way to an adventure in the tropics. On the other hand, it's hard not to be surprised by such complaints - especially today, when the series doesn't quite know which direction to take. Odyssey, for example, stands between the third installment of The Witcher and RPGs in general and the original intentions of the series. I don't think all players like that, and maybe that's why they instinctively go back to the fourth installment.
Fallout: New Vegas is the only true Fallout 3D 
Genre: Open World RPG Maximum number of concurrent players in the last 30 days: 4757
The world is divided between those who can't stand Fallout 76 and those who don't like Fallout 76 because they played it - admittedly (still) there are a small handful of gamers (who could probably fit into a medium-sized Fallout shelter) who, for some unknown reason, play this mediocre game every day, persistently spending their free time in virtual West Virginia. Fans of this post-apocalyptic series are equally unanimous about Fallout: New Vegas, the best part of Fallout in 3D. It may not be to everyone's liking because of its atmosphere - much more "Western" than the dirty green Fallout 3 - but it's definitely worth getting out of your comfort zone and trying it out, and spending some sleepless (but very entertaining, especially in terms of story) nights with it. It's definitely the most Fallout-like of all the new Fallouts.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Immortal RPG 
Genre: RPG with open world The maximum number of simultaneous players in the last 30 days: 1918
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has become one of the most important RPGs in the history of virtual entertainment - and the perfect support for Skyrim, whose luster never fails to shine even years after its premiere (although the most diligent TES fans still can't agree which is better - Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim). The reason that Oblivion - almost 11 years after its release - is still played by an average of a thousand players every day (that's much less than Skyrim, but also much more than Morrowind) lies in the active modding scene, which continues to improve the game. The standard are graphical mods that tidy up the game's visuals (which even without mods have not aged so well that modern virtual entertainment fans would find the game unplayable). We can easily find modifications that introduce new items and quests, and even change the mechanics of various elements of the game. You just need to know how to install them...
