I am a bundle of emotions right now and have so much to say about corporate greed in the video game industry, but I will narrow my focus to Monster Hunter Wilds and the path it has chosen for its character creator feature.This is a bit of a compliment sandwich. Monster Hunter Wilds offers one of the best character creator setups I’ve experienced, even better than the best RPGs I’ve played. (Monster Hunter Wilds is technically an action RPG, but it’s more action than anything else.)Unfortunately, the character creation process is flawed, and tragically so. Players have just a single…
Players love how entertaining role-playing games can be, whisking players away on amazing stories as they engage in their fair share of combat from time to time. While RPGs need to nail several elements to be wowed by the masses, the story is one area where skimping out is unforgivable. Related 10 Gaming Playstyles That Need More Love From RPGs to FPS games, there are plenty of interesting playstyles that go underused. This is why players love RPGs with incredible thought-provoking stories that keep fans coming back for more. Players will be satisfied by the narrative offerings of these games…
Summary Kingdom Come: Deliverance II offers a purely medieval open world without magic or monsters, receiving praise and a sequel. Fans of Kingdom Come: Deliverance can explore similar games like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, Mordhau, and Ghost of Tsushima. Games like Chivalry 2 and Medieval Dynasty provide strategic combat and building a medieval village, offering new challenges for players. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was an ambitious game. It was built on the foundations of popular fantasy open-worlds, particularly The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but it added a twist: all the supernatural aspects were removed. No magic, no monsters (at least, not literal…
It’s ZineQuest month on Kickstarter, and indie RPG creators are pulling out the stops to bring weird and wonderful little RPG ‘zines to the world. “It’s What My Character Would Do” is a one shot comedy RPG about RPGs, with every player taking on the role of a self-absorbed DnD player ready to throw the party under the bus because “it’s what my character would do”. If you’ve played DnD for long enough, and particularly if you’ve joined a pick up game with strangers, there’s a good chance you’ve had the misfortune of running into that player. They’ll steal from…
Choices, choices, choices. To kill that one enemy or to spare them. To romance this person or that person. To save the world or light the torch that burns it down. Gaming gives players a lot of power when it comes to choices, and perhaps no genre does it better than role-playing games. A good RPG tends to be bursting at the seams with tough moral dilemmas. Half the fun of the genre is knowing that your decisions matter and could lead to changes in the world around you. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and sometimes, your power over…

I once dismissed gacha games as shameless cash grabs that thrive on fluent addiction. Now, I’m hooked on Wuthering Waves and Zenless Zone Zero. Somehow, they’re not just competing with traditional RPGs: they’re surpassing many of them. So, what makes them so darn compelling? Well, I think I know why. Jumping in Has Never Been Easier One of the biggest reasons modern gacha RPGs are on the winning side is that they don’t ask for much upfront. No $70 price tag, no massive time sink right out of the gate, no “please set aside 300 hours to complete this narrative…

What started out as a crowdfunded throwback CRPG project has grown into a beloved series that spans two acclaimed Pillars of Eternity games, a handful of expansions, and the recently-released first-person off-shoot Avowed. Now, some Obsidian Entertainment developers have an appetite to see things continue in the form of a strategy game.Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and Pentiment director Josh Sawyer has once again talked about the possibility of making a tactical strategy game set in the fantasy world of Eora, explaining that “Pillars Tactics is a thing that a lot of people at the studio would like to…
