RPGs are currently some of the most exciting and entertaining games. They allow players the possibility of experiencing new worlds in a more personal and proactive way. Gamers get to decide not only the story’s path but also the eventual outcome, literally stepping into the protagonist’s shoes.
With the release of Monster Hunter: Rise, the RPG field received yet another worthy entry, further cementing the genre’s place in the gaming world. Alongside Rise, several other RPGs recently hit the shelves. Some are certainly better than others, but they all contribute something to enhance the market and keep players interested and engaged.
10 Cyberpunk 2077 – 67
The story of Cyberpunk 2077 is interesting enough to warrant its own HBO miniseries. After years of development and heavy anticipation, CD Projekt finally released the game in December 2020. Set in Night City, players control a mercenary known as V, who can acquire different skills in hacking and machinery. Keanu Reeves famously plays the role of war veteran-turned rock star Johnny Silverhand.
Though it was acclaimed for its narrative and setting, Cyberpunk 2077 received overwhelming criticism for the many bugs present in the console versions. CD Projekt’s apparent attempts to downplay the game’s technical issues led to a couple of class-action lawsuits against the studio.
9 Wasteland 3 – 82
A sequel to 2014’s Wasteland 2, Wasteland 3 is a squad-based RPG set in the frozen wastelands of a post-Apocalyptic Colorado. The player controls two members of the Arizona Ranger Team November, who are forced to work for a local ruler the Patriarch, in exchange for his support to the Rangers.
Released in December 2020, the game received mostly positive reviews. Both the PC and Xbox One versions achieved high marks in Metacritic, although the PS4 version’s 79 scores brought down the game’s average down to 82.
8 Genshin Impact – 82
Genshin Impact is an online-exclusive RPG, featuring a limited multiplayer mode for up to four players. It follows the character of Traveler, a world adventurer who gets separated from his twin by an unknown God in Tevyat, a fantasy world where each nation is tied to a specific element and ruled by a God.
The game received “generally favorable reviews” on Metacritic, with most praise directed towards Tevyat’s open world and gameplay. The iOS version, however, received considerable criticism for its seemingly predatory monetization system.
7 Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla – 82
The latest entry in the long-running Assassin’s Creed series, Valhalla serves as a successor for Odyssey. Set during the Viking invasion of Great Britain circa 872 AD, players control Eivor, a Viking who becomes involved in the ancient conflict between Assassins and Templars.
Like many other RPGs before it, Valhalla received praise for its narrative and open world. Most negative observations centered on the plot’s familiarity and repetitive gameplay, a recurring criticism for the venerable franchise. Still, with a score of 82, Assassin’s Creed remains a force to be reckoned with.
6 Yakuza: Like A Dragon – 84
Developed and published by Sega, Yakuza: Like a Dragon first premiered in Japan on January 16, 2020 before being released worldwide on November 10, 2020. Like a Dragon introduces a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, a man who, after being imprisoned for eighteen years, goes on a journey to discover the reasons for his former boss’s betrayal.
The game received praise for being a good opportunity for the uninitiated to join the series, while still providing all the classic features for veteran fans.
5 Nioh 2 – 85
Nioh 2 serves as both a prequel and a sequel to the original Nioh. Set in 1500’s Japan, players control a customized character named Hide, a half-yōkai spirit who plays a critical role in the rise and fall of warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Receiving mostly positive reviews, many considered Nioh 2 an improvement on its predecessor. All its three versions, PC, PS4, and PS5, received scores in the 80s on Metacritic, although the PS5 version received the lowest of the three.
4 Final Fantasy VII Remake – 87
One of the most respected and enduring gaming franchises, Final Fantasy released the first in a planned series of remakes of the classic 1997 Play Station game, Final Fantasy VII, in April 2020. Players once again control mercenary Cloud Strife, who joins the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE as they attempt to stop megacorporation Shinra from using the planet’s life essence as an energy source.
Final Fantasy VII Remake received praise for its faithfulness to the original, while still expanding upon the lore and enhancing the gameplay. Released for PS4, the game achieved a high mark of 87 on Metacritic.
3 Monster Hunter Rise – 87
The most recent addition to the RPG genre, Monster Hunter Rise continues many of the features introduced in the franchise’s previous entry, Monster Hunter World. Set in the Kamura village, Rise has the player control a newly-appointed hunter as they prepare for the possible return of “the Rampage.” a mysterious event in which monsters enter a frenzied state and attack the village.
Featuring the return of many of the franchise’s most popular beasts, as well as the inclusion of some new ones, Monster Hunter Rise earned positive reviews from critics, who gave special praise to the game’s expansion of previously introduced mechanics, as well as the creature designs.
2 Disco Elysium – 91
Disco Elysium centers on an amnesiac detective tasked with solving a murder mystery. In the process, he recalls events of his own past and discovers a larger plot affecting the city, which is still recovering from the effects of a war fought in the past.
Unique and subversive, Disco Elysium features no combat and all events are determined and resolved through dialogue and skill checks, much like a real detective would. The game received “universal acclaim” on Metacritic, with a score of 91. Much of the acclaim went to the daring narrative and conversation, with many considering it the best game of 2019.
1 Persona 5: Royal – 95
The sixth installment in the Persona series, Persona 5 takes place in modern-day Tokyo. It centers on a school student known as Joker, who along with other students, forms a vigilante group known as the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
Persona 5 received critical acclaim with praise going to nearly every aspect of the game, including its narrative, graphics, gameplay, and music. Despite releasing in 2017, an enhanced version featuring new content, titled Persona 5: Royal, was released in 2020. It achieved even higher marks than the original, earning a 95 on Metacritic, signifying “universal acclaim.”
