A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Having come across videos of that new Dragon Age game and its (by the look of it) cool looking combat I've gotten the urge for something similar. Action RPG of some kind, being able to rock on as a wizard and blast spells all day. Some tactical element to spell slinging and comboing would be nice.

Love me some recommendations!

Magicka comes to mind but it was utterly unplayable single player. Maybe the sequel is better.

It feels very wizard like because you don't have a static list of spells. You have 8 elements you.can combine into spells. (It does have unlockable spells but those are sort of secondary.) So using the fire and shield elements makes a wall of flame, for example.

Theoretically, Immortals of Aveum could be good for this. It’s basically a shooter, but with spellcasting for the shots.

Lots of good suggestions already, adding Magicmaker as a fun build-your-own-spells game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/319250/Magicmaker/

Play Skyrim with ordinator mod that adds more spells.

Tbh, WoW is fun to wield magic in. There are many different styles and planning a rotation that is effective and effecient is fun.
