Of all the PC game genres, the role-playing game is arguably the most sophisticated and certainly the most complex. These are story-driven games that pull you into their unique world, allowing you to create a character all your own and make choices that will affect the game’s progress. Often these games feature many optional sidequests in addition to the main storyline, and include interesting NPCs with their own personalities and backgrounds. And the well-designed RPG is inevitably more ambitious and thoughtful than any other type of game.
But don’t just trust me on this one—test it out for yourself. Here are the top ten RPG games of all time, games sure to impress you with their scope and creativity. Each one is well worth your money, and most have strong re-play value because each time you play you can create a new type of character and experience.
Note: The games on this list have been selected through a combination of research, general consensus, and (inevitably) the author’s own opinion. All have garnered excellent reviews, awards, and so on. But of course, as with any such list, every reader will have his or her opinion as to its validity. Take it for what it’s worth—a suggested top ten list for the purpose of educating the reader about some really cool PC RPGs.
