Skyrim.
Skyrim is a medieval/fantasy/adventure game set in the world of nern.
The terrain is skyrim is vast, it ranges from mountains to lakes, rivers and waterfalls. There are a lot of area's covered in snow and caves all over the world. Dungeons and mines can also be found and you can go inside them.
The architecture in Skyrim is very medieval in the way the buildings and towns are and what they are made out of, stone and wood, as well as taverns and markets.
There are lots of objects in skyrim like swords, Armour, barrels, market stalls and so on, some you cant interact with but others you can, there are also objects that aren't physical that you can interact with like dragons souls and magic.
The character that you play as in skyrim is the dovakin who is somewhat of a hero and a dragon slayer. You can only play as one character in this game but you can customise it quite a lot to make it unique and to give it your own touch.

NPC (Non-playable characters) in skyrim mainly consist of villagers, but there are also guards, jarls and various factions/groups of people. There are also people you can go o and get quests from. there are also giants and dragons that you either fight with or talk to, as well as many other enemies.
In skyrim you get feedback once you complete a mission and gain experiences points, that also shows you that you are progressing through the game as you become more powerful so that you can go on and do more challenging quests that you might not of been able to do before. You also see it as new enemies will start to appear which will do more damage and have more health, so it requires you to become stronger.
The interface in Skyrim is pretty basic, it gives the player a health/mana bar a mini map, the map displays locations like cities and caves for the player and he can set way-points to go to specific locations, the health bar is good during fight so that if you see it get low you know you need to use a health potion, or a mana potion if your mana is running low.
Skyrim lets you choose between first person and third person perspectives, this is good because of the games features, as in you can decide what weapons to use, so if you use swords are any melee weapons third person is good so you can see your surroundings, but you can also use things like magic and bows so first person is good for that so it is easier to aim so you can hit your enemies.
Warframe.
Warframe is a sci-fi, third person shooter set in space.
The terrain in warframe various from planet to planet, some are more green with trees, mountains and rocky walls, some are more snowy and industrial and finally some are covered in an infestation giving it a unique terrain with fungus and rowths all over.
The architecture is Warframe is very futuristic and technological, advanced buildings and crashed spaceships make up most of it, some are a combination of tech buildings and snowy flatland's, other are more interesting where you have to fly around to get to different places.
Objects in Warframe vary from stuff you can pick up for quest objectives or things you take to power up certain devices, there are also lots of guns and melee weapons which you use to fight your enemies with.
In warframe you can choose between a wide variety of frames (characters) each frame has its own benefits and is more useful in different scenarios, but for the most part not one frame is the best which is good because it forces people to try out all of them to see which one/play style suits them the best.
NPC's in Warframe consists of people that you fight along and there a place you go called a relay where there are various civilians and you can summon spectres who fight with you to help you during missions, apart from that there aren't many more NPC's. And you can fight the infested, grineer and the corpus which are different factions of enemies.
Feedback in warframe comes in the form of unlocking planets, each planet you unlock as you go through the game has higher level enemies that are more challenging to fight, you also level up your frames and weapons so that you can do more damage to counteract the enemies improved armour and health. You also gain access to new quests which unlock strong frames for you to play as.
The interface in warframe displays things like how much ammo you have so you know when you need to run out or go and find some more, your health to show when you're taking damage and when you should retreat and let your health refill or use an ability that gives you health, a mini map that you can chose to have up all the time on your screen or just in the corner which helps you to find objectives and targets you have to kill.
Warframe unlike most shooter games is a third person shooter, this adds a unique feel to it than if you were to play Call of Duty for example, but that cause its a very fast paced game and if you want to survive at higher levels you have to move and jump around a lot to avoid enemy fire making you a really hard target for them, and the third person helps make it easier for you so see where the enemies are and to shoot them while moving around.
Darksiders.
Darksiders is a sci-fi/horror/adventure game.
The terrain in darksiders is filled with buildings and broken bridges for the most part as you are running around a destroyed city some of it is more green and other parts are covered in lava.
The architecture is Darksiders looks to be themed around cities like New York and London, as there are a lot of modern buildings around, most of them being broken and half destroyed giving it a very apocalyptic look .
Darksiders has lots of objects like pieces of gear you use fight and objects which unlock abilities for you or souls which you use as currency.
In darksiders you play as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The character is set and you cant customise but you can change the look of the armour by collecting pieces throughout the game. The character which is called war gets sent to earth by the council because someone has framed him for breaking a seal and now chaos has fell on earth and the humans have been wiped out, its upto him to find the souls of he humans and to restore earth, fighting angels and demons in the process.
NPC's in Darksiders consists of various characters and bosses you meet throughout the game, some give you quests and you can talk to them whereas others are there to talk and fight. Another is a demon who you can buy things from to increase how much damage you do and to improve your character.
Feedback is darksiders is shown by the difficulty of enemies rising and the amount of upgrades you attain for you character. The bosses get more difficult and you progress though the game to, and certain places require you to use abilities that you might not of unlocked yet, or if you have you know you've progressed.
The interface in Darksiders consists of a health/rage bar the health bar is good because it lets players know if they are about to die or to check if its full before they go into another battle. There is also a mini map which helps the player navigate around the world to help them get to and find quests as well as find there way around confusing mazes in caves or dungeons. There is also an indicator that lets you see how many souls you've collected, souls in darksiders are used in the shop to purchase upgrades and new weapons.
