Obsidian Entertainment legend and Grounded 2 game director Chris Parker is no stranger to the world of RPGs, having been involved in numerous genre heavyweights over the last three decades, and even he thinks the roleplaying space is just as exciting as it's ever been.
Asked about the state of the genre in an interview with GamesRadar+, Parker says, "Sometimes it looks a little tired, sometimes it looks like it needs a little bit of a freshening up, but then something comes along and shows me that RPGs are as vibrant and exciting a genre now as they have ever been." Those somethings include two of the biggest hit games of the last few years, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3, he says.
