For over three decades, role-playing games have been a cornerstone of the video game industry. Each month brings a wave of new RPGs, from major releases like Starfield, Lies of P, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, to more specialized titles such as Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, 8-Bit Adventures 2, and Little Witch Nobeta. The genre consistently delivers exciting new experiences.

The ambitious nature of AAA RPGs often leads to announcements years ahead of release, generating considerable anticipation. This hype, once ignited, can be difficult to contain, sometimes resulting in unmet expectations. Yet, when a game fulfills its promise, the payoff is extraordinary.
