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.

Persona 5

Persona 5 isn’t just a small improvement over the last game. We get a whole new cast, story, redone combat system, and more streamlined gameplay. Out of all the RPG sequels, this one had the best changes.
