Sure it’s lacking the grandiose universe that Skyrim has, but the immersion and nostalgia are just too strong, and I can’t even tell you how many playthroughs of the game I’ve done! The whole game has a very Fallout 2 vibe that you just can’t shake while playing. Fallout: New Vegas is on our list because it is the only first person Fallout game to date that actually encompasses and “feels” like the original Fallout games, which are some of the best RPGs of all time. I’m sure many of you are wondering how this game made it onto the list, and some of you are like “FUCK YEAH!”. Fallout: New VegasĬoming in at number 7 is Fallout: New Vegas. Who’s hyped for The Elder Scrolls 6? Anybody? Yeah you know you are…even despite Bethesda’s recent “failings”… 7. It’s a game that’s managed to stay relevant for a decade in some form or another, and is responsible for an insane amount of hype and mods! It’s sold over 30 million copies, and that didn’t happen by accident. The story telling and breath taking environments were exceptional for it’s time, and even the Remastered version of the game still holds up fairly well even in 2020. It has become a solid benchmark for all Open World RPGs ever since, and it’s hard to review any Open World RPG without some comparison to it. Skyrim is not a game that revolutionized RPG mechanics, but simply did many of them better and on a grander scale than had ever been done before. Despite this fact, Skyrim, much like Dracula, never seems to age. What can you say about Skyrim, and where do you even begin? It’s nearly a decade old at this point, coming out in November of 2011, which seems like a very long time ago. The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimĬoming in at number 8, it’s a game that needs no introduction: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. And, if that’s not enough, Atlus has already confirmed that there will be a Persona 6, which is likely to debut on PS5 sometime in 2022.
#HOTTEST RPGS 2017 PS4#
If you missed it, have no worries, the latest version is called Persona 5 Royal and is coming in March of 2020, featuring more goodies and support for PS4 Pro. Featuring over 100 hours of gameplay, with exceptional combat and story telling Persona 5 has captured hearts around the internet, and has spawned several spin offs as well as various version of the game. It is widely regarded as one of the best JRPGs of all time by its critics, and even scored a 9.5/10 by our user Forum Pirate in his review of the game back in April of 2017. What Pillars of Eternity has done for CRPGs, Persona 5 has done in spades for JRPGs. Persona 5Ĭoming in at number 9 is Persona 5. Will there be a Pillars of Eternity III? Time will tell, but we can only hope this exceptional franchise, one that is likely a huge part of making Baldur’s Gate III a reality, gets one. Surprisingly, Pillars of Eternity was even more well received than Divinity: Original Sin, which came out just 9 months earlier, and is the other franchise responsible for the return to traditional western RPGs. It was successful enough to spawn a sequel in May of 2018 ( Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire), which was also very popular with the CRPG community, if only to a lesser degree. If you grew up playing those games, or they made you into an RPG fan then odds are you’ve likely played Pillars of Eternity. Its fantastic writing and excellent mechanics reflect those of of the golden era of RPGs, and have given it the title of “spiritual successor” to the Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dales series. Pillars of Eternity comes in at number 10 on our list because it is partially responsible for a resurgence in Classic RPGs in a market saturated with Action role playing titles. With that out of the way, the first title may come as a surprise to some of you, and to others it’ll likely be too low, but coming in at number 10 is Pillars of Eternity. These are Red Dead Redemption 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nier: Automata, Elder Scrolls Online, Monster Hunter World, and Diablo III.

Top 10 Best RPGs of the Decade (2010-2019)īefore we get into our list I’d like to note here that there are several games not included that were either just on the fringe of “RPG”, we felt weren’t quite good enough, or they were made by Nintendo and they copyright strike everything, so they didn’t make it into our list. These are the Top 10 RPGs of the last decade. Join us as we attempt the unthinkable, and probably get it very very wrong in the process. You’d have to be insane to try to narrow down the best of them, and in this article that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Games like Dark Souls, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Mass Effect 2. The 2010s have come and gone, and with it some of the best RPGs ever made.
