What’s even an RPG in 2022? The cross-pollination of elements of the genre over the past few generations has been such that where you once described a game with XP, an inventory and trees as in classic RPG stuff, now those markers are just ‘it’ Limit it to a video game.
When it boils down to it, role playing in 2022 is all about depth of experience. Games that embrace expansive narratives and give you some agency in them, whether it means your hero has a new pair of +5 Charisma shoulder pads for the next big fight or that their dialogue choices are really in the game world.
change the course of events. A great modern RPG should take you on a journey and immerse it in interconnected systems. Otherwise, there must be at least an occasional cuirass or a receptacle in which someone unnecessarily left a gold coin.
Best RPG games of all time
Few RPGs make such a pervasive impression that they’re almost timeless – today, we’re going to go over the best RPGs of all time. Role-playing games (RPGs) are one of the few genres that can be called timeless, regardless of when they were created.
A good quality RPG, whether from the West or Japan, is often as playable today as it was when it was first released; Take for example Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or computer games built with the Infinity Engine such as Baldur’s Gate.
1. NieR: Automata
NieR: Automata has the best combat of any RPG, no doubt about it. Its fluid combo-based, hack and slash gameplay with its emotional narrative and original soundtrack takes you on a captivating journey that spans multiple endings.

Playing from three perspectives, you’re able to explore a dystopian city, uncovering its secrets while fighting hordes of robotic enemies with your trusty pod and a wide array of weapons.
Automata excels at telling a complex story while making the gameplay addictive as hell, and it’ll be the one you’ll be talking about for years to come. This incredibly existential piece of storytelling is one of the best RPG fiction out there, and you need to play it.
2. Disco Elysium – The Final Cut
If you don’t think there should be politics in video games, don’t play Disco Elysium – The Final Cut. If you don’t think a game should aspire to say something, then this detective-RPG is not the game for you.

This is not to say that the game is a manifesto. The way it cynically, yet thoughtfully, critiques multiple ideologies suggests that the politics of the game isn’t nearly as narrow as you might expect.
But this is not wish-deception centralism. Despite asking you to play as the cop on the other end of that equation, Disco Elysium’s sympathies ultimately lie with working people and movements that center their best interests.
Fantastic role-playing mechanics and richly realized worlds don’t matter to the story, but Disco Elysium’s beating, thematic heart makes it the best PC game you can play at this point in history.
3. Torchlight: Infinite
Speaking of isometric action RPGs, Torchlight: Infinite is about to take on Diablo the Immortal in 2022 as its biggest challenger.

Both the games are in their testing stages and are expected to be released somewhere around 2022. Torchlight: Infinity continues to build on the worlds of previous steampunk fantasy games. Where it propels itself 200 years into the future.
Now, the whole world is technologically advanced and this is well reflected by the classes. Again, the game plays like a Diablo clone where players race through the story until the endgame to get more loot and even better chances at more valuable items.
4. Battle Chasers: Nightwar
One of the best RPG games on Android, Battle Chaser: Nightwar is an RPG in the classic JRPG genre. Which means a lot of character progression through turn-based combat and leveling up, skills, and advanced gear and attributes.

The graphics have a kind of comic book style to them, giving the game a unique and cool visual appeal. There’s a huge open world to explore, with tons of quests, and a very engaging story to follow. The game features randomly generated dungeons, puzzles, and more.
And if you prefer crafting to your RPG game, the game also includes a fairly deep crafting system. Overall this is an amazing JRPG-style game that has found huge success on other platforms. And it’s great on Android too. Plus, it’s one of the premium titles with no ads and no in-app purchases.
5. Front Mission 3
If you’re in the mood for a strategy RPG about giant mechs, Front Mission 3 has you covered – twice. This is because there are basically two games on the disc. Your path is determined quickly by a seemingly innocuous decision.

Help a friend with the delivery, and you’ll be walking the “Emma” path. Stay behind, and you’ll see the “Alisa” side of the game.
Which path you choose determines which faction you’re fighting for, so choosing another route on the second play-through means you’ll have to fight against characters you know and appreciate.
But what really sets Front Mission 3 apart is its mech-building mechanic. Every enemy mech you drop goes into your inventory, and you can swap parts to create the patchwork mech of your dreams.
