- DirectorSwen VinckeStarsAmelia TylerNeil NewbonJennifer EnglishReturn to Faerun in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, and the lure of absolute power. Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you. Resist, and turn darkness against itself, or, embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil.I thought Larian will never surpass masterpiece that was Divinity Original Sin 2, but they made me silent. Hands down the best RPG in last 20 years
- DirectorSwen VinckeStarsBrian BowlesAlix Wilton ReganHarry Hadden-PatonSet in a fantasy world where a form of energy known as Source, and individuals called Sourcerers can manipulate this energy, are hunting down an organization to protect their world from the evil Voidwokens who are drawn by that energy.If I ever had to name a "perfect" RPG this would probably be the first thing that pops up in my mind.
- StarsBenjamin Byron DavisRoger ClarkRob WiethoffAmidst the decline of the Wild West at the turn of the 20th century, outlaw Arthur Morgan and his gang struggle to cope with the loss of their way of life.This is probably one of the most immersive games with some of the best gaming stories. During the entire playthrough, I almost completely forgot about the real world. It's not perfect game, but it's definitely the one that I have some of the fondest memories of.
- StarsMikee W. GoodmanJullian ChampenoisTariq KhanYou're a detective tasked with solving a murder in the strange world of Elysium. Utilize a new and innovative skill system to be the detective you want to be. Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being.Best writing out of any game I've played
- StarsRenier BaakenMichael DecknerSabine Mièl FischerExpansion pack for Gothic II (2002) with the addition of a world called Jharkendar, and new attributes, items, and weapons.Perfect sequel to Gothic 1. Personal favorite (in combination with Gothic 1) from 2000-2009 era.
In a way it feels like Elden Ring mixed with Witcher 3 - but a 20 years older version of it. - StarsDon DelciappoStefan Ashton FrankArmand HartAn unnamed hero gets thrown in a colony of prisoners surrounded by a magical barrier.Feels very weird at first, but then once you learn and get used to the controls & mechanics it quickly wins over your heart and gives you one of the greatest experiences gaming has to offer
- DirectorJason AndersonLeonard BoyarskyStarsAndré SogliuzzoAndy MilderArmando Valdes-KennedyBeginning your journey as a new Kindred, you must choose your path to follow the high class Vampire Society, or the lawbreaking group of Anarchs as you find your place in this new world.Lots of bugs, clunky combat, outdated graphics... yet I love it so much that I replay it almost every year! It just has something magical that I can't explain with words
- DirectorKonrad TomaszkiewiczStarsDoug CockleDenise GoughJo WyattThe monster slayer Geralt of Rivia must find his adoptive daughter who is being pursued by the Wild Hunt, and prevent the White Frost from bringing about the end of the world.One of the only games I've played that managed to create such a big open world without sacrificing the quality of the side-quests or density of the world. Oddly enough, feels like the AAA version of Gothic.
- DirectorRaoul BarbetMichel KochStarsHannah TelleAshly BurchNik ShrinerAn awkward photography student named Max discovers her ability to rewind time, and reunites with her estranged best friend Chloe to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a local girl.One of the only games that made me cry like a baby. Will not say anything else as to not spoil anything, just note that it is a journey that will stick with you for a long time
- DirectorDaniel VávraStarsTom McKayMatthew WolfMichael PitthanHenry is thrust into a civil war, watching helplessly as invaders storm his village and slaughter his family. Narrowly escaping the brutal attack, he grabs his sword to fight back.It has everything I like about RPGs, total gem that shouldn't be slept over. Also best forests in gaming
- DirectorHidetaka MiyazakiYui TanimuraStarsMartha MackintoshAnthony HowellCon O'NeillIn a dark fantasy world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls) and George R. R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), the player is a Tarnished who is called back to the Lands Between to restore the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord.It felt a bit too big for me, and quests are too confusing to properly enjoy. Has some UI /QoL issues as well, however, the gameplay, exploration, art style, and level design are so good that it completely makes up for these issues
- DirectorHidetaka MiyazakiKazuhiro HamataniStarsDaisuke NamikawaMiyuki SatôJin UrayamaSet in a reimagining of 1500s Sengoku era Japan. An unnamed shinobi, tasked with protecting a young lord of mystical lineage, who is left for dead when a powerful samurai attacks and chops off his arm.Started as "pretty good" but ended up being one of my favorite games of all time. Gameplay in this game is something on another level - personally my favorite melee combat system out of all games I've played
- DirectorCasey HudsonStarsShohreh AghdashlooMaggie BairdAdam BaldwinAfter being revived from death and having to join a pro-human organization without a choice, Commander Shepard must assemble a team, battle a new threat, and make tough choices in order to save the galaxy from total annihilation once more.Amazing Sci-Fi RPG that has one of the best conclusions out of all the RPGs I've played. When you experience it once you will want to replay the game to get the best possible ending (especially since save games transfer through to the next game).
- DirectorAdam BadowskiStarsCherami LeighGavin DreaKeanu ReevesIn Night City, a mercenary known as V navigates a dystopian society in which the line between humanity and technology becomes blurred.Released in bad state, but as of 2.1 it is absolutely fantastic. Only downside is that at some point in game there are too many phone calls happening, but thankfully you can just say "not now" and take them up when you want. Phantom Liberty DLC is masterpiece tho
- DirectorPeter MolyneuxStarsAdjoa AndohGeorg BackerEmma ButcherOnce a young boy has obtained a gift for his sister's birthday, bandits attack his home village of Oakvale. A member of the Hero's Guild, Maze, stumbles upon the boy, saves him and takes the boy to the Guild to be raised as a hero.Like tragic shounen anime plot? Like turnament arc? Like heroes? Like games where your choices impact the world? Mix 'em all up, add magic sprinkles on top... and there you go! Greatest game by Lionhead studio
- DirectorNick HermanJason LatinoDennis LenartStarsAdam HarringtonErin YvetteChuck KourouklisAs Bigby Wolf, the big bad wolf in human form, you will discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come when another dead Fable is found which starts the hunt for a serial killer.Personal favorite game from Telltales - very unique spin on fables with great artstyle & story!
- StarsGerry RosenthalPeter VackMatt BushA troubled teen is dropped off at the worst school in the country and must survive by rising through the rankings of the school system.Most underrated game from Rockstar which is in my opinion one of their best game so far. No game has created such a fun setting around school life! Just straight up pure fun! :)
- DirectorRasmus HøjengaardStarsDavid AndrioleDavid BatesonBarbara BernádA larger, more powerful agency is systematically eliminating assassins in a series of hits, who are all from Agent 47's contract killing firm, The International Contract Agency (ICA).I still can't believe this game came out in 2006. Every single level is, to this day, etched on my mind. Music, story, stealth, gameplay, atmosphere... so good! Must play!
- DirectorRyosuke HoriiToshihiro NagoshiStarsKazuhiro NakayaKaiji TangAkio ÔtsukaIchiban Kasuga, a low-level Yakuza member looking to prove his self-worth, and follows him and his motley crew of unlikely allies as they attempt to rise from rags to riches in this modern human drama.If it didn't have some grindy sections, I would say this game would be almost perfect. Very good game
- DirectorSean AinsworthNick HermanDennis LenartStarsDave FennoyMelissa HutchisonNick HermanIn a world devastated by the undead, a convicted criminal is given a second chance at life when he comes across a little girl named Clementine.
- DirectorJean-François DugasBlade ZavierStarsElias ToufexisStephen ShellenAndreas ApergisAfter a shadowy black ops team kidnaps several scientists security manager Adam Jensen was sworn to protect, he must harness the power of his new-found cybernetic augmentations to save their lives.Amazing game that gives you tons of freedom to how you approach level - Sneak around? Hack robots? Shoot everything up? Knock everybody down? Non-lethal playthrough? All of this is available to you with tons of interesting side-quests!
- DirectorHidetaka MiyazakiYajuan ChengJun'ya MoritaStarsPik Sen LimOlivia MaceRoger RingroseThe fire is fading. Darkness creeps across the land. The Lords of Cinder charged with watching over the First Flame have abandoned their thrones. The Champion of Ash, an undead is chosen to return them to their thrones.Very good game, it's like linear version of Elden Ring (except magic is kinda lame, and exploration bit less interesting)
- DirectorCory BarlogStarsChristopher JudgeSunny SuljicJeremy DaviesAfter wiping out the gods of Mount Olympus, Kratos moves on to the frigid lands of Scandinavia, where he and his son must embark on an odyssey across a dangerous world of gods and monsters.Absolute fantastic game, I can't name single flaw with it aside from somewhat repetitive enemies
- DirectorMattias EngströmStarsDavid BatesonJane PerryJohn HopkinsTogether with Diana Burnwood and Lucas Grey, Agent 47 must face off against The Constant and his mysterious colleagues to take down Providence once and for all.Amazing entry to the series, and backwards compatibility with all of the missions from previous games make it the ultimate stealth sandbox package
- DirectorJacob MikkelsenStarsDavid BatesonJane PerryJohn HopkinsAgent 47 embarks on a stealth mission to track down the elusive Shadow Client while learning the truth about his past. The spy thriller takes the assassin across international locations, from vibrant Miami to dangerous rainforests.Essentially an improved version of Hitman 2016, with bigger (and in my opinion better) maps. I really like this game. It might even be an objectively better game than Blood Money (but BM has a power of nostalgia :P :D).
