This was a weird year for RPGs. We didn’t get many big names, but the ones we did were lackluster or not the game changers they normally are. However, picking apart the list, we did get some awesome RPGs that are bound to keep you busy for hours.

Octopath Traveler

Octopath Traveler really masters the JRPG formula down to every sprite and action the player can choose. The characters and story are rich, and the visuals are phenomenal with a fantastic art style. A fresh JRPG like this hasn’t been released in a really long time and it feels nice to see the genre keep up with the times

Runner-Ups

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

It was another slow year for PC exclusives, but strategy games made a huge comeback and it was a close call between all exclusives this year that really made an impact.

Battletech

Battletech won out due to the entire package just being fun, intense, and bringing strategy games to its roots. There is a large variety of missions, units, and fun endgame content that most others don’t have.
