Okay, Astarion fans, I see you. 🧛‍♂️ We all fell for that charming, cunning, and utterly deceptive vampire elf from Baldur's Gate 3. Neil Newbon's voice acting is a whole masterpiece, am I right? After hundreds of hours in Faerûn, saying goodbye to that specific brand of chaotic, morally gray energy is HARD. The good news? That vibe isn't exclusive to the Sword Coast. I've been on a deep dive, and there are so many games out there that capture a piece of the Astarion essence—whether it's through a character, a theme of revenge and control, or just that irresistible rogue-ish charm. Let's talk about the games that will fill the Astarion-shaped hole in your gaming heart.

Feeling Unhinged? Meet Trevor Phillips

If you loved Astarion's unpredictable, chaotic, and sometimes terrifyingly aggressive side, you need to meet his spirit animal in the modern world: Trevor Phillips from Grand Theft Auto 5. Seriously, these two could be best frenemies. Trevor has that same unhinged vibe, a hair-trigger temper, and is about as trustworthy as a snake.

Just like Astarion's quest for vengeance against Cazador, Trevor's missions are pure, unadulterated chaos. One mission, 'Grass Roots,' has you hallucinating and going on a rampage against a horde of clowns. Peak Trevor. Peak Astarion-approved madness. Playing as Trevor lets you unleash that inner id in a massive, sandbox world. It's therapeutic, in a very concerning way.

  • The Astarion Vibe: Unpredictable, violent, charismatic in a terrifying way.

  • Best For: Players who loved Astarion's most chaotic and vengeful moments.

A Revenge Arc Worthy of a Vampire Lord

Astarion's entire story is a revenge narrative against the vampire lord who created and controlled him. If that theme of breaking free and seeking vengeance resonates with you, Ryse: Son of Rome is a hidden gem. You play as Marius Titus, a Roman general betrayed by the very empire he served.

His quest for revenge is direct, brutal, and even involves him assuming a new identity—sound familiar? The combat is super satisfying, with stylish execution kills. It’s linear and story-driven, offering a focused dose of that "righting a monumental wrong" energy. Fun fact: It's made by Crytek, the minds behind Crysis!

"Would You Kindly?" Explore Themes of Control

Okay, talking about BioShock and control is walking a spoiler-tightrope for one of gaming's greatest twists. 🚨 But trust me, if you were fascinated by Astarion's struggle as a spawn under someone else's absolute dominion, the themes in BioShock will hit DEEP.

You explore the dystopian underwater city of Rapture, fighting creepy Splicers. Instead of spells, you use Plasmids—genetic modifications that give you powers like telekinesis, electric bolts, or summoning insect swarms. The atmosphere is thick with dread and brilliant writing. It's a masterclass in storytelling and world-building that any Astarion fan (who loves a good philosophical dilemma) will appreciate.

For the Morally Gray Rogue in You

Astarion is no hero. He's a self-serving rogue, and that's why we love him. Assassin's Creed Rogue is THE game for this. You play as Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin who betrays the Brotherhood to become a Templar. Finally, we get to fully explore the "other side."

Playing a character who operates in the shadows, makes questionable alliances, and has a distinctly non-heroic agenda? That's the Astarion playbook. Plus, the title "Rogue" fits perfectly—both in gameplay class and moral alignment. The story cleverly leads into Assassin's Creed Unity, making it a fascinating chapter in the series.

Cunning, Humor, and a Killer Partnership

If it was Astarion's wit, charm, and cunning intelligence that stole your heart, then you need to meet Chloe Frazer in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Chloe is savvy, hilarious, and has a similar sharp-tongued humor. This spin-off, where she teams up with Nadine Ross, has a totally different vibe from Nathan Drake's adventures—it's more strategic, sly, and feels very Astarion-coded.

The adventure through India is gorgeous, packed with puzzles and traversal. It proves you don't need a vampire to have a protagonist with immense style, brains, and a morally flexible approach to treasure hunting.

Live the Vampire Life (with Choices!)

Of course, you might just want more vampire. Vampyr is your answer. This game from Don't Nod nails the branching narrative and tough moral choices that make BG3 so special. You play as Dr. Jonathan Reid, turned into a vampire during the 1918 flu pandemic in London.

The voice acting is PHENOMENAL. Anthony Howell as Reid gives Neil Newbon a run for his money—it's a performance that stays with you. You'll face agonizing choices about who to feed on, use blood-based powers, and fight tough, Souls-like bosses. It's the perfect game for anyone who wanted to explore Astarion's vampiric nature and moral conflicts in a darker, grittier setting.

More Neil Newbon, You Say?

Yes, please! If you're obsessed with Neil Newbon's voice (who isn't?), you have two fantastic options.

  1. Dead Take: This is a brand new (as of 2026!) psychological horror FMV game. You play as Chase Lowry, portrayed by NEIL NEWBON HIMSELF, investigating the disappearance of his friend (voiced by Ben Starr, Clive from FFXVI!).

It's a spooky Hollywood mystery full of FMV footage and puzzles. The supporting cast is stacked with legends like Laura Bailey and Matthew Mercer. It's a must-play for the Newbon fanclub.

  1. Resident Evil Village: Not only does this game have a character with major Astarion energy (The Duke, that charming, enigmatic merchant), but NEIL NEWBON also voices one of the main Lords: Karl Heisenberg. Heisenberg has one of the coolest boss fights in the game. Plus, you get gothic vampire vibes from Lady Dimitrescu. It's a win-win.
