Wassim™ Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Welcome to our round-up of the best RPGs on PC. Since tabletop RPGs first started getting the digital treatment, the genre has grown into an intimidating, massive beast. Sure, you'll still find plenty of D&D-style, fantasy romps, but you can also head out into space, explore gothic underground oceans and even vacation in the town of South Park. Whenever we sit down to argue our way through a list of the best games, our first step is deciding what “best” even means. In this case, we’re identifying which RPGs are fun right now. It's the same approach we take without our overall list of the best games to play today. We don’t ignore a game’s impact completely—innovation and influence just has a lesser weight under our criteria. The RPG genre is tough to boil down: by the most literal definition, every game is a role-playing game. This list represents our best definition of the canonical RPG—games that likely emphasize story; that let you inhabit a customizable character through skill points, inventory, and dialogue decisions; that include complex, controllable relationships with companions or non-playable characters. Drawing these kinds of lines helps us provide a better service to you, we hope—though we've made some exceptions where we think it's worth it.
