What's the best RPG you've played this year?

[Veronica Winston]

I've been on an RPG binge lately and I'm curious what you all think. What's the best RPG you've played this year? I've tried a few, but I'm always on the lookout for hidden gems or big hits I might've missed. Whether it's a massive open-world epic, a tight story-driven experience, or something with killer combat, I want to hear about it! Bonus points if it's got some unique features or a setting that really stands out. Share your top pick and maybe toss in why it grabbed you. Always pumped to add more to my backlog!

Like A Dragon IW, Unicorn Overlord, FF7RR and Rise of the Ronin.

Rebirth is the best RPG I played this year by a mile.

But it is still early I guess... Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D has clearly chances to beat it imo.

PS. I still playing Baldur's Gate 3 that should be the best one but it was a last year game... I'm just LTTP even having bought it at day one

Rebirth. 100+ hours of playtime, not a single boring second.

Rebirth.

I think a lot of people will go for rebirth, especially if they have a PS5.

It has that nostalgia factor too, which is hard to beat and insane production value.
