Oblivion Remastered brings a classic fantasy adventure back to life. Originally launched in 2006, Oblivion lets players explore the vast world of Tamriel, taking on quests at their own pace while battling a cult determined to open gates to a demonic realm. The remaster offers sharper visuals, quality-of-life improvements like sprinting and better autosave points, and some tweaks to the original’s infamous enemy-scaling system. Combat remains fast and real-time, rewarding both quick thinking and tactical retreats.

Fans of open-world games like Skyrim or lovers of sprawling fantasy worlds similar to Game of Thrones will likely find Oblivion an irresistible pick. The ability to roam freely and carve your own path makes it ideal for players who enjoy immersion and exploration above all else.

On the other hand, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 introduces a completely different flavor of RPG. Developed by Sandfall Interactive, this new title is set in a surreal, dreamlike world heavily influenced by France’s Belle Époque. You play as Gustave, leading a group determined to end the reign of the mysterious Paintress — a figure who annually erases people from existence by painting a cursed number.

With its breathtaking art design, emotional storytelling, and inventive setting (think floating land masses and warped cityscapes), Clair Obscur appeals to players looking for a narrative-driven, visually unique experience. The tactical RPG elements also provide a refreshing challenge for those who enjoy strategic combat.

If you can't choose between them, the good news is you don't have to — thanks to Cheap Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which grants access to both titles for one subscription price. Whether you're seeking epic medieval quests or a surreal emotional journey, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has you covered.
