I still can’t get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.

Have you looked at the gothic remake? It’s probably not as big but it should scratch a similar itch. But it’s not as free form, you’re playing as a set (male) nameless hero.
Otherwise… no not really. I could recommend wildly different games and genres that also feature exploration, but skyrim is just very good.
Yes, truly unique
Omg playing this now and good lord this game was and is incredible.
It’s been so long since I played it that I forgot everything and it’s so fun to play the remake!
It’s crazy that the original Gothic 1 predates all other games mentioned here by years. It is even cited as a main inspiration for the Witcher series. And the remake is really good.
How is Gothic remake mechanically? Like, are the controls modernized too? What about difficulty, did it drop?
The controls are modern, the difficulty can be set fine-grained. You can adjust three different aspects of the game (combat, progression and resources) individually in three steps.
I only watched some streams, they did some updates for the controls and the UI, inventory stood out to me. So I hope they updated the controls to be “modern and palatable” too.
They did. It’s basically a modern game in terms of UI and controls.
