Top 10 Best Medieval Games Of 2015

The Middle Ages, or Medieval period, began with the collapse of the Roman Empire and ended with the Age of Discovery. 

It wasn't a great time for the human race, marked by calamity, including famine, plague, and war, which left the population in a ravaged state. However, it's inspired numerous works of art--from movies and books to video games as it spoke to the human spirit about surviving all manner of strife. 

The Medieval period was also a time of superstition and fear of magic, and games do well to bring to life these elements by making magic an element of gameplay. 

In this list, we take a look at the top ten best Medieval and Medieval-inspired games of 2015. Gather your sword and board and check out the video above.
