Top 25 Best CRPG Games of All Time That You Should Play | 2023 Edition

i'm almost going mad trying to find a RPG i played once, we play as a Plague Doctor in medieval times, trying to investigate and find a cure for various different desiases.
You can choose between vairous classes of doctors, Religious type, Alchemy, historian.
Also there is a plot of politics involved.
Never could find it again, if someone knows what i'm talking about, pleaaaase send me the name.
It's not old, i guess is a 2020ish thing

POE2 is not available on the Switch.

Hmmm. Nice list, but i think PsT should be in the top 3.

I highly recommend you download Ultima 8: The Black Gate and Serpent Isle. As 90s games, the graphics are obviously limited, but they were revolutionary at the time.

I actually found the kingdom management features of the Pathfinder games more tedious than rewarding, and even though I purchased both I did not finish either one.

I think KOTOR and Dragon Age: Origins deserve to be here

Something very classic to try is Eye of the Beholder 1 & 2; keep in mind the graphics are early 90s but historic CRPG for D&D. Another would be Might and Magic III.

Nice video.

Kenshi, my favorite game of all time

Maaan after Dos 2 every crpg doesnt do it for me...even bg3 doesnt compare for me.

Tides of Numenera is literally the best crpg, its set 1 000 000 000 years into the future, its so weird, so confusing, so good

this is pretty strange way to make money, but it works Thank you Michael for showing it

i just got into crpg with baldurs gate 3 im now playing dos2 and might try pathfinder wotr.

The reason Pillars of Eternity 1 and DOS 2 are simply better than deadfire and DOS 1 is they had Chris Avellone writing. Instead of just more more generic adventure crap. All my favorites including fallout 2 have him in common. Also I'm pretty sure BG3 probably deserves the top spot now the full release is out.

Yes

Useful list to check out some games
But list with 25 games and no dragon age origins is a blasphemy.
And icewind dale at least deserves mentioning. Overall i enjoyed watching this video

Bro u should try Spellforce 3, Spellforce 3 Soul harvest seems pretty decent for me, as I like Pathfinder series Divinity & Baldurs gate 3 , wasteland 3.. I don't really like solasta because the story/graphics is not that good for me , but decent combat playstyle
THQ nordic storymaker is actually good but oh my god , the amount of the bug is insane.

Would definitely recommend Shadowrun: Dragonfall instead of Hongkong.

DOS 2, its fun to see how my partner collect all garbage

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is insane how deep combat is and how great narrative is.

Best CPRG along with DoS2

Great games on the list. Due to the high praise of DOS2 I've retried the game several times, but never made it past chapter 1 due to lack of motivation. The humor, the item system, the combat mechanics, and the constant poison, fire, ice surface thingy just wasn't for me. In terms of humor I'd recommend dungeons of naheulbeuk, by the way. I'm a huge fan of Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, and I'm still enjoying every single moment of playing my new alltime-favorite game Solasta Crown of the Magister (500+ hours).

Pretty good list. Only thing I would change is placing Tyranny higher, Wasteland 3 much lower, and Arcanum waaaaaaaaaaay higher because that game is truly one of a kind and deserves respect.
Also I dont really consider Disco Elysium to be a CRPG. That game is more like a point & click adventure.

what is CRPG stand for ?

I play almost all of this list except the rome and viking probably because i dont like that setting in crpg.. I remember excited to play Wasteland 3 after release but the game a bit underwhelming imo, had better experience playing wasteland 2.

Awesome list, just about to finish the first Pillars game. I wonder how long it'll take me to play the rest of the titles I haven't played yet. Then there is that itch to replay, which I already have big time for BG 2 and Planescape Torment. Sooo many good games and not enough hours in a day. Oh Death Trash seems pretty damn cool so far from the indie side of things, Atom RPG too, haven't finished it yet but was enjoying the amount I did get through..

I like your videos. You get to the point quickly and present cool games

Your reviews are not bad sometimes they're good... but today you're giving the top best see RPGs of all time and one of the reviews you're giving is Shadows over loathing.. well I'm sorry but this should have been towards 25 not 16.

Divinity 2 is the ultimate. The music is fantastic. I might have to replay it soon.

DOS:2 wasn't for me, but the love for it out there is real. For gamers who like it, they REALLY REALLY REALLY like it.

DOS2... so predictable, so overrated.

I’m absolutely loving Solasta:Crown of the Magister…. Most enjoyable game I’ve played in a long time, if not, in my lifetime.

Seriously tho Dos 3 when ?

Solasta sucks... sorry, but its linear, the 5e rules are boring, and you have to buy multiple dlcs to get an incomplete game.

Dos2 was too bloated. Inokved DOS, but i couldnt finish 2.. i hated the first act, and how many quests you stumble into, halfway completing in the process

divinity original sin 2 DE THIS GAMES HAVE big combat and map this the most big game

DOS2 is a deserved number 1. I had such a blast with my cousin. Every new playthrough, I find something new or different :)

Solasta and Wasteland 3 is also a recommended, if you guys like turnbased crpgs :)

I always enjoy cranking up Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Gears Tactics

A good list, I agrre with most picks here though there are some notable games missing here imho like:
Kotor 1+2, Dragon Age: Origins, The Banner Saga: Triilogy, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Freedom Force, Icewind Dale 1+2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Divine Divinity
Ruined King, Tower of Time and Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Great list 👍 I sunk 135 hours into DOS2. Loved every second 🤩

Solasta is a good game. It just missed a good history and dialogues but the combat is really fun

Everything is in the Title.. 😍

This list is a must use list.

I love Disco Elysium.

Hi can i ask where can i send an inquiry

can’t wait for asmongold to react lol

Agree with DOS2 still being number one. Near perfect game!

Nwn and it's modding community makes for a very good rpg experience

I'm surprised to see the game "Encased" wasn't featured here. Is it just not that good, or is it not mainstream enough?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks! Good choise.
