You can find the full list of the best RPGs on PC below. 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. 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. So we'll keep this list updated if any new games turn out to be really good - but rest assured that everything on here is playable right now, so there's no disappointment. The year of the RPG isn't up yet, as Starfield is just around the corner promising an entirely different kind of RPG experience, and even further of we can see big titles Dragon Age 4 in our future.

But fear not if you're not into fantasy: we have plenty of other RPG antics to suit different tastes. Even as some companies put more stock in live services, Larian's stunner Baldur's Gate 3 is out now to prove that there is a hunger for big open-world RPGs where you spend 30 hours exploring a mushroomy cave and talking to pigs, in between bouts of killing goblins. Given that many of us play video games as a form of escapism, is it not arguable that the RPG is the truest form of video game? There's a reason that the genre where you get to literally pretend to be someone else is a popular one, and as such, we've curated a list of the best RPGs you can play on PC right now.
