I had hoped Pillars of Eternity (1+2), Pathfinder: Kingmaker/Path of the Rightous and Tyranny would be on that list. I can highly recommend them, if you like CRPGs. But great list, great games!
Are there games like crpgs (i.e. extensive skills and subclasses, diverse races, rich story with consequences) but in a first/third person perspective with no mouse movement? If these types of games existed I would fall in love with RPGs. Cause to be honest, the mouse movement and turn based crpg gameplay is outdated and needs to be overhauled imo
@@joeljohnson9371 Pillars of Eternity 1+2, Pathfinder Kingmaker/WotR and Tyranny have a real time combat-system with pause. (PoE 2, Kingmaker and WotR have optional roundbased Combat if someone prefers that), it's Click to move, interact etc... CRPGs stands for Classic RPG nowadays (back in the day it was Computer RPGs). They are "outdated" by design, because they are made for people that loved RPG classics like Baldurs Gate 1+2, Icewind Dale 1+2, Planescape Torment...

Maybe do another 27 list but for under-rated or under the radar games. I feel like Vampyr should really get played by more people - caveat: the pc combat controls need some work - but everything else about it strikes me as a world/setting that could be as rich as the Witcher for a game series. Under the radar as a category would also be useful because every time you do a normal genre list you will always have the annoyance of someone telling you X game is not in X genre. Other under-the-radar titles I’d throw in this category btw: Sleeping Dogs Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition Saint’s Row 4 Slay the Spire Dishonored 2 Broforce Too many lists just read as what companies got the most press (or bought the most press). Non-traditional lists are a good way to throw people a curve ball that might get them to dip their toe in something they might not otherwise come across if a strategy title or rpg or w/e is something they would not otherwise pay attention to.
idk Prey is just a thoroughly mediocre Bioshock clone, not something close enough to RPG territory. And Kenshi looks too janky for anyone to take it seriously as something they'd actually want to play in 2023. Other than that it's a solid top 25 list.
@@jaybee8862 Jank is slang for poor quality. The graphics of the game are obviously of poor quality but not the only thing that seems of poor quality to me. It's the kind of game that *feels* (if you prefer to 'looks') like it would have *wonky* (if you prefer to 'janky') controls, wonky bugs, wonky graphics, wonky lack of direction for the player on and on. In short not a good fit for me. Maybe it's amazing and I'm missing out. I'm okay with that - I have a huge backlog of games on Steam that would be at the top of the next-to-play list before this and many of them are not focused on graphics (eg the shadowrun RPG series). So yeah, I agree with you that there are plenty of great games without amazing graphics.
Well... who said it's all time list?! 😂 I just said BEST 😊 In reality it's best recent games, otherwise it would look much different with lot more older games
BG3 will be a game of the year contender and even win in some outlets. You might not like the gameplay style, but no one who played it can deny the monumental achievement that this game is. So please, stop following some meme and go and do yourself and actual service and play it
Great list. I would have added Arcanum, and Gothic 1/2. Also I would argue that Divine Divinity is superior to the later Divinity games. Maybe I just have boomer taste.
Amazing video, zero second waste of viewers time, i wish every game list video was made by you. It might seem simple but it's a talent to communicate the essence of a game in just a few seconds.
Dragons Dogma is a great game and can get difficult ,i have played about all of these games but the assassins creed series, but going to try them soonish as ill be playing Starfield in a couple months! ff7 remake is a little gem imo.
My guy didn't put fallout 1 and 2 when they were true rpg instead of shit bethesda 3 and 4 which were less rpg in the first place but world isn't ready for the conversation because people love graphics instead of isometric perspective. Half of the list are barely rpg No arcanum, geneforge, planescape, fallout 1 and 2 lmfao
Fallout 1 and 2 and all the other games are relics of an ancient past (and before you will jump on me, I love those games too) which will never be played or truly understood by modern gamers. They were the part of times long gone and expecting for newer generation to love them is the same as expecting the rave party from Mozart. And for anyone keen eyed it was not difficult to understand that this is the list of more or less modern games, otherwise it would be full of old titles that 99% modern gamers will never play anymore
It's not like perfect or anything, but it's something definitely new. The combat and the gameplay is different. Also has good music and story, definitely give it a go after exploring a bit.
We(the live audience during Nick live stream) wants to remove it, but Nick protected it and makes it invulnerable from removal on the list. Hi Nick I wish you will have another live stream during Black Friday or Winter Sale, good stuff you talk there.
@Nyxson - The Divinity Original Sin games are part of a larger series of 6 games and not a series unto themselves. Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Divinity 2, Divinity: Dragon Commander, Divinity: Original Sin, and Divinity: Original Sin II are all part of the same series and set in the same world. Lucian in Divinity: Original Sin II was the Player Character in Divine Divinity
I hated the speed, i liked the pricese and straight to the point tho... We are RPG's fans, thats why we came here... He can slow down a little and be more, normal, while talking.
Don't you dare touch ma boy Kenshi! But in all seriousness, they were not put on the list because during the live stream it was decided that by putting them we would also need to put in Tyranny and Planescape series, and it would make way too many CRPGs in the list. So we decided to save those for Another top 27 which will come out soon 😊
80% of 27 is 21.6. If you will tell me 21-22 from these that are specifically NOT RPG (at best it should not say on Steam that is an RPG) I will make a separate video for you publicly apologizing to you directly
Technically Rockstar Games (GTA, RDR) are not RPGs. As for the Gothic series, you probably noticed that most games in the list are new, while Gothic games are quite old. This list is not about best RPGs of all time, it's about Best RPGs that you can play and enjoy now (by the most)
All the rpg on this list sucks …just so y’all know like it or now best mmorpgs are world of Warcraft ,aion, tera ,elden ring, dark souls etc etc ..those are games that feels good to master them …all the ones you were talking about is just literally throw your time away
I still think out of all the rpgs I’ve played, fallout new vegas is still hands down the best rpg I’ve ever played. It’s rpg mechanics make the game of the most replayable experiences I know. I’m not trying to suck it’s 8=D like everyone else in the community does. But gd do they have a point. I still have yet to find an rpg to impress me as much as new vegas, or even fallout 1 and 2 have

Im suprised that Yakuza like a dragon is not there since its literally the best rpg i have ever played
Weirdly enough, it's not here because it was voted out during a livestream when we were compiling the list
idk Prey is just a thoroughly mediocre Bioshock clone, not something close enough to RPG territory. And Kenshi looks too janky for anyone to take it seriously as something they'd actually want to play in 2023. Other than that it's a solid top 25 list.
Kenshis great, and tons of games are still worth playing without amazing graphics
@@jaybee8862 Jank isn't simply about graphics.

fable needs to be in this list
It will be in the next one 😊
Cool list but no Last Epoch :( If you haven't played/reviewed that one yet, it's very very worthy contender for best ARPG/diablo like.
I think you meant top 27 best STRATEGY games? Not RPG.
?????
Are you referring to timestamps issue? I caught it already and it's fixed
It was super weird, my bad. I was looking at this video and it had all the RTS games.
@accretionist1 nope you were right, there was an issue, but I literally fixed it 30 seconds before you wrote the comment 😊
@@Nyxson Lightning fast, good job!
Elden Ring forever will be my favourite game of all time, and one of the best RPGs
overrated
I dont think a early access game should be on top rpg list. It very well might be but for now its not a full game
But man..... it does deserve it...
@Nyxson I think it will too I'm just saying I can never put a game I never beat on a all time list
Well... who said it's all time list?! 😂 I just said BEST 😊 In reality it's best recent games, otherwise it would look much different with lot more older games
@@Nyxson clickbait then I don't see recent in the title
Another one not knowing what clickbait is... I'll play along... which part was "bait"
Mount and blade 2 is a RTS game.
Oh god... It's neither strategy, nor real time (on campaign map)... It does have strategy elements though
Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War are not RPGs
BALDER'S GATE 3? BWAHAHAHA..
That didn't age well. Beastiality anyone?
Right? Right. Bad choice for this or any list.
BG3 will be a game of the year contender and even win in some outlets. You might not like the gameplay style, but no one who played it can deny the monumental achievement that this game is.
So please, stop following some meme and go and do yourself and actual service and play it
Lol it's game of the year...🤡
@@Freedom-kl8rt Goty won’t be selected until next year. You have to wait until the year to end, first.
@@Freedom-kl8rt Like that is some arbitar of quality?
Witcher 3 was garbage.
Great list. I would have added Arcanum, and Gothic 1/2.
Also I would argue that Divine Divinity is superior to the later Divinity games.
Maybe I just have boomer taste.
Gothic series is S+ tier, it will get a remake soon!
Insane video
Fast talking and going from one game to another with realted contents😅
Thanks alot❤

Hey Nick! Thank you for mentioning me at @0:50 I feel proud because I feel that I am part of making this list!
Baldur's gate 3 was the right choice ahah
Cool list. I would add Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines. Awesome RPG.
A bit old. I tried avoiding putting old games in the list since a lot of modern players just won't get them
Searched "best rpg games" and saw IGN or a real dude! Glad I went with this one! I'm about to try out the Assassin's Creed games!
Kingdom come deliverance is game you will never regret experiencing true definition of rpg .
Meh... playing cringe bum Henry not so satisfying imo
@@richday8859true plus you have to mod it to be enjoyable, its hard to get into because of the grind and horrible mechanics
It's not like perfect or anything, but it's something definitely new. The combat and the gameplay is different. Also has good music and story, definitely give it a go after exploring a bit.
i love you ptt PREY in here my favorite game when it released of that year and years after that.
Kenshi is my favorite game
Also Skyrim with the Requien mod is cool af too.

guess ill try disco elysium
You can definitely add Deus EX series
Everything on this list is from this decade, does nobody even try to play older games anymore?

its just fluid and keeps me listening unlike the others

dark soul and elden ring not even that hard
Gosh, Persona 5 100% should’ve been on here. It’s not just one of the best RPG games, but one of the best games period
It was actually, but as I said most of the games were chosen by the viewers on my livestream, and P5 was narrowly voted out
@@Nyxson Here’s hoping if you ever make a sequel it’ll get its dues! Awesome video btw!
@thekingofcarcosa6408 oh, it definitely will 😊 Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
No dragon quest?
How about including the Legend of Heroes trails series?! 15 years of a massive ongoing story over 12 40+ hour games?!
Action RPGs are not real RPGs.
decent list
Yo hi can i ask you what flight sims you are playing with the expensive joystick you have there ?
i was in the live stream suggesting games! still going to watch it though.

Thank you
Love your videos man. Keep it up! 😄
where is persona series ??
