The best RPG of 2018

[Darth Bane]

For me, it's Kingdom Come Deliverance. It's something special, without fantasy, without being the great savior of anything and the setting is incredibly good and fresh.

Divinity Original Sin 2, Definitive Edition. Loved re-experiencing that game, full of free improvements new quests and stories. Man its an epic game and I don't think I'll ever stop playing it, great story, fun combat, not too mentally stressful. Rides all the fine lines well.

[Baron Baldric]

The story is simple but good, the dialogues are realistic, not all decisions are made speaking. The important thing of the game are the mechanics, it is not a hack and slash, it is a realistic game, the combat is one by one, it simulates the way in which real combat is fought in the middle ages, in a short distance you use a morning star if the enemy has a metal armor, if he has a leather armor you will prefer a sword to penetrate. Archery is more difficult, it will take hours until you learn to aim at distance, an arrow in the eye and the enemy will fall, if you hit the armor you lose an arrow. If you do not sleep you faint, the same if you do not eat, you can not heal in the middle of a fight. Maybe you want to make a potion, you have to learn to read, get the recipe, cook the ingredients by hand step by step as if it were a cooking simulator.

Jeremy says we are in a AAA game crash

I haven't played anything that happened to be released in 2018, but this thread is making me tell my wife to get me Dragon Quest XI for Christmas.

Xenogears! I think my list would be Xenogears, Suikoden 2, Metal Gear Solid, Breath of Fire 3, Borderlands 2, Civilization, Symphony of the Night (and Aria of Sorrow), Valdis Story, Seiken Densetsu 3, Final Fantasy Tactics, FF7, Megaman X4 (maybe Megaman Legends?), Persona 5 and Shadowrun Dragonfall

Dragon Quest XI, not only was it a well done RPG, it also gives me hope that AAA can still recover from their downward greed cycle.

deltarune, And it's not even out.

They have RPG elements, and lord knows with the grinding required to get past some of the areas that are blocked off until you reach a certain point, it's more of an RPG than any previous AC game. It's more of a open world action title with RPG elements, though I guess that most open world games have to have RPG elements, or else no one would be interested enough to play them.

kingdom come deliverance for sure

[Badger]

+KCD. One of my favorites.

[trashfire]

DQ XI is my favorite of the year. Is AC series RPG, I think of them more as platformers.

[Ary]

Probably Kingdom Come: Deliverance for me. It definitely has its issues, but I think it's the game I had the most fun with.

I've been thinking about picking that one up. How are the story and characters, dialogue, etc?

[MrLacksOriginality]

For me it was Draqgon Quest XI. It is the best Dragon Quest Ever.
