FromSoftware’s RPGs are known for their great difficulty that tests player skills, and Dark Souls 3 is a prime example. Like most Soulsborne games, the game features an intricately detailed world of deadly enemies players must fight off. However, these enemies are pretty challenging to handle if not tackled properly.

You play as an undead called Unkindled or Ashen One with a task to link the fire in Lothirc to stop the impending Age of Dark. However, to do so, players have to take their fight against Lords of Cinder and place their souls in thrones at the Firelink Shrine. Players can encounter four endings in Dark Souls 3, depending on their final choices. Take a journey against all odds and become the most potent Unkindled in Lothric.

Taking place in the 1800s, you will be playing as a wizard invited to Hogwarts Wizarding School. Like in the books, players can choose from four designated houses, which reflect players’ motifs through the Sorting Hat. However, players can skip the quizzes to select a place they choose.

Also, you’ll be able to explore the vast wizarding world of Hogwarts and uncover an entirely original story.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

CD Projekt Red is popularly known for its experience with RPG games. Thus, the third installment of the Witcher franchise still stands out today. The game also received a new generation overhaul, enhancing the experience. This upgrade makes the game look great in 2023, despite its initial 2015 release. The world of Witcher 3 is enormous and has multiple activities to do to progress the world. Neither of these tasks feels tedious and always a joy whenever playing the game.

You play as Geralt, a mercenary monster hunter called Witcher, who is set to find a child of prophecy named Ciri. However, the Witcher has to be quick as an undead army called the Wild Hunt is formed to do the same for their purpose. The storytelling and gameplay of The Witcher 3 are pretty amusing and suggested for anyone who likes RPGs or never played one. Even after the new-gen update, the game is still pretty cheap on Steam during the Summer Sale 2023.

The Assassin’s Creed franchise shifted toward RPG with Origins, which emerged after Syndicate. While it is not fully RPG in terms of story, its mechanics are similar to other games of this genre. The visuals and map of Assassin’s Creed Origins are beautiful, which is also a treat for the players. Even the combat with each weapon type is satisfactory and has great-looking finishers.

You’ll play as Bayek of Siwa in this game called Medjay. However, due to the tragic loss of his son, the protector of Egypt takes a turn toward a path full of anger and vengeance. The game even dives into the origin of the Assassin order since it is a prequel to the entire franchise.
