Having the freedom to shape your own story and character through the decisions you make is part of the magic of role-playing. Owning your own journey and feeling like you are the maker of your gaming destiny never gets old, so that's why I've gathered up a list of the best RPGs to play today where your choices really matter.
Obviously, nearly all the best RPGs around offer some level of player choice, however, there are still plenty that still have a universal story where your customized character essentially experiences largely the exact same ending and NPC dialogue, no matter what. So, below are titles that all have branching narratives, and distinct variations based directly on how you decide to play them. With the kind of vibe you can expect from each (which you can learn more about in our FAQ section), I've focused on games where each new playthrough really does have the ability to feel extremely fresh and offer something unique here.
