The RPG is one of those genres that gaming just can’t seem to shake. It owes a lot to the fact that it is a genre of games that isn’t beholden to a single medium or style. There are card games, table-top, PC, console, Japanese, Western… the list goes on. There are also many games that have RPG elements – core gameplay aspects plucked right out of the genre to give typically less involved games a bit of oomph.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your preferences, due to RPGs being a core pillar of modern gaming, we get quite a lot of them, and the majority of times they’re, to put it nicely, pretty meh.
