RPGs are always evolving, but there’s one thing that never changes. Stats, and evolving character, story, and combat whether it’s real-time or turn-based. Role-playing games have always been known as the meat and potatoes of storytelling and deep gameplay. While Eastern and Western RPGs seem vastly different these things are always the same between them.

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk is the definition of RPG. A dystopian cyberpunk settings, lots of stats and upgrades in forms of cyberware implants, tons of characters, a great story, a huge world to explore, and lots of armor, weapons, food, and other items. This is a memorable and deep RPG, probably one of the most memorable in a decade.
