When it comes to RPGs, 2024 was a year for the history books. From January until now, we’ve been blessed with a plethora of role-playing games that have pushed the category to the next level. Sure there was Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Dragon Age: The Veilguard — long-awaited by fans and delivering on the hype. But so many surprises snuck in as well.
More than anything, this year has shown that there are ample opportunities for brand-new experiences, long-awaited sequels, and riveting re-imaginations of all-time classics. That’s what Inverse’s Gaming team found when we pooled our collective RPG lists. These are the role-playing games that came out on top for us, but in a year dominated by RPGs, we say take these as inspiration — and keep looking. RPGs truly have never been better.
