Hey everyone! I'm looking for a game that really fits a specific vibe, and I'm having a hard time finding one.

The most important thing: I want a MEDIEVAL setting. Not just generic fantasy with magic — I want the world to actually feel like the Middle Ages: castles, villages, forests, medieval weapons, armor, ruins, fortresses, etc.

I'm looking for:

Strong medieval setting/aesthetic — this is VERY important.

Dark fantasy atmosphere.

Real-time combat, not turn-based.

Online co-op for 2 players, preferably the entire campaign together.

Xbox.

An explorable/open world with interesting places to discover.

Random/handcrafted medieval structures, ruins, villages, castles, fortresses, dungeons, etc.

A proper story/campaign and progression.

Preferably third-person or first-person.

Good graphics and an immersive world.

Ideally just me and my friend playing together, rather than an MMO with hundreds of other players.

I'm not really looking for a Soulslike. Lords of the Fallen looks amazing aesthetically, but the Soulslike gameplay isn't what I'm looking for.

Some games I've considered:

Valheim — I like the exploration, building and discovering structures, but I'm not sure it has enough of the medieval dark-fantasy/RPG feeling I'm looking for.

Outward — seems interesting and has the co-op and RPG aspects, but I'm unsure if it has the level of immersion and medieval atmosphere I'm looking for.

Elder Scrolls Online — seems to have the world and medieval fantasy setting, but I'm not sure about the MMO aspect.

Lords of the Fallen — almost perfect aesthetically, but I'm not looking for a Soulslike.

The Witcher 3 — basically the type of world/aesthetic I love, but unfortunately there's no co-op campaign.

So, what game would you recommend that comes closest to all of this?

I'm especially interested in something that makes you feel like you're actually living in a dark medieval fantasy world and exploring it with a friend.

Thanks!
