For now, check out the best RPG games that you can play on your PC right this second. Our main rule when putting together these lists is that a game should still be fun to play today, rather than just making a big impact when it came out. Our video team have done you a more condensed list of great RPGs you'll enjoy, in case you prefer a more audio-visual experience: We don't like to gatekeep what defines a genre too much RPGs can include chill farming games, slow story-telling reminiscent of visual novels (or actual novels), or the unique style and action of Japanese RPGs. You can find the full list of the best RPGs on PC below. If your favourite isn't among them, it was probably at number 51. If you think it should be on the list, then why not write your own impassioned entry for it in the comments? We always consider suggested games for inclusion in future lists. What else should I be playing: Few games come close to matching Revenant Kingdom's broad spectrum of ideas, but if it's more strategic battles you're after, try Valkyria Chronicles. Fancy a bit more town-building that you can customise the nth degree and only have to deal with a smattering of real-time battling? Check out Dragon Quest Builders 2. More often than not, the best PC JRPGs first enjoyed life on other platforms. Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, however, feels like it was born for it. On the surface, it looks like your standard anime JRPG, what with its cute Studio Ghibli-inspired characters, cat-eared protagonist, world-ending plot and bright, colourful art style. But underneath all that is a game that taps straight into the veins of all the classic PC staples, from town-building to real-time strategy battles. Naturally, it doesn't go so deep into these elements that it's going to trouble the very best games from those genres, but building up your titular kingdom, recruiting villagers from other towns to come and man special buildings and occasionally setting off to defend your lands from unwelcome intruders are all welcome additions and diversions to this otherwise fairly traditional JRPG. They're also way more engrossing than the Pokémon-style monster battling / collecting of its predecessor, Wrath Of The White Witch. Revenant Kingdom also improves on the shortcomings of White Witch by giving your AI-controlled companions an actual brain when it comes to taking care of themselves in combat. Assassin's Creed Valhalla Previous position: NEW ENTRY Its wider plot may tread familiar ground compared to other JRPGs on this list, but with so many PC-friendly nods feeding back into its core systems, Revenant Kingdom remains one of the most refreshing JRPGs we've played in years.Ĥ9. What else should I be playing: Assassins Creed Origins is beautiful in a different way, set in Ancient Egypt. ![]() It's a lot of fun sliding down the sides of pyramids. There's also Asssassin's Creed Odyssey, the Ancient Greek varietal, which I think has the best sense of humour. And Immortals Fenyx Rising deserves a shout out too, a sort of Assassin's Creed meets Zelda game. I know some people might make noise about there being an Assassin's Creed game on this list, but frankly I think I've shown restraint. The AC games had a bit of a renaissance starting with 2017's Origins, overhauling a lot of the core design and making the series from then on sharper, harder, and more interesting. In the process, Ubi brought the RPG elements to the surface, and Valhalla is arguably the pinnacle of the series and its new direction. Valhalla takes place in England in Anglo-Saxon times.
