It’s a good time to be PC-owning jRPG fan. It’s possible to fuse your character with another for improved strength and abilities during battle, and if you like dragons, you’ll be happy to hear that they’re prominently featured in Tales of Zestiria. Your character has to battle enemies who appear when people experience negative emotions, and establish harmony between regular and supernatural humans. Why you should try it: Released in Japan last January, the latest Tales game is the only AAA jRPG on this list, offering what one would expect from such a title: anime styling, seamless cutscenes and real-time combat. It continues the story of Geralt the Witcher and lets you control him as he travels and explores the immense in-game world. Despite some controversy about graphical fidelity being toned down to console ports, Wild Hunt has garnered nearly universal praise, and many proclaim it the best game in the series.

If you consider that only three of those are fantasy RPGs, then you could say Witcher 3 has the market cornered.Īnd deservedly so. Bioware’s other big franchise, Dragon Age, produced the third game in the series last year, while Bethesda was probably too busy with Fallout 4 to pump out another Elder Scrolls. Both Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Bioware’s Mass Effect: Andromeda are scheduled for 2016. In fact, if it weren’t for Fallout 4 coming out later this year, it would have remained the only such game. Why you should try it: CD Projekt RED have great timing – at the time, Witcher 3 was practically the only AAA RPG on the PC. What is it? The final entry in the Witcher saga.
