Top 10 Major RPGs of 2019

Image

Over the years, we have heard numerous claims about the death of singles, backed up by record-breaking successes in the battle royale genre. We refuse to believe such speeches, because the facts speak of something completely different, and even the genre of role-playing games today enjoys unprecedented popularity. As a confirmation of our words, we present the top 10 games, where we have collected the main and expectedly the best RPGs of 2019. We must say right away that the selection contains only games announced for the current year, so we deliberately did not take into account the main role-playing hit Cyberpunk 2077.

10. Kingdom Hearts 3

Release date: January 25

In many ways, a unique Action-RPG, capable of putting you into a state of shock through one setting. The idea of a game world in which Japanese heroes fight the forces of evil together with characters from the Disney universe sounds as strange as it is interesting to play. And don't be fooled by the cartoon characters, as Kingdom Hearts 3 has a dizzyingly intricate plot that Kojima's genius will envy.

Among the shortcomings: Kingdom Hearts 3 is the only RPG game in our top that was released without USA localization and exclusively on consoles. But if you dare to join the Japanese curiosity, then you can count on one of the best games this winter. Unique, ever-changing gameplay, gorgeous graphics, and a remake of legendary events from the Disney universe have been well received by critics and gamers who are unfamiliar with the series. Estimates and data from the top sales of the game are the best confirmation of this.

9. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Release date: March 22

Hidetaka Miyazaki's new creation has acquired an army of loyal fans from the moment of the first gameplay demonstration. And there are several reasons for this: a new game from the creators of the Dark Souls series, an unbroken setting of medieval Japan featuring mythical monsters, and a complete overhaul of the gameplay formula familiar to From Software games.

It's worth starting at least with the plot - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice pays more attention to the familiar storytelling through cutscenes. Other changes to the upcoming Action-RPG are intended to bring a lot of tact to the fight: jumping, parrying, height differences, grappling hook, stealth kills or the ability to swim can and should be used to kill enemies. The only controversy in the gaming community was the instant respawn system in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. But the game developers have already assured that the game will definitely not become less hardcore.

8. Biomutant

Release date: Summer 2019

An unusual role-playing game with a style and name reminiscent of last year's Mutant Year Zero Road to Eden. Before us is another post-apocalyptic world and the main character eerily similar to the raccoon Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy. If at the beginning of the game he looks pretty cute, then by the middle of the passage he can easily be turned into a cyborg. It is the abundant character customization that will become one of the main components of the new RPG. Together with the main character, the world of the game is changing significantly: a centuries-old tree grows in the center of the continent, giving life to all living things.

For unclear reasons, the local fauna began to mutate and damage the roots of the tree, which is why the surrounding world in the game Biomutant will mutate beyond recognition. The developers bet on freedom, so no one forbids leisurely exploring the world and pensively watching the unfolding apocalypse. Separately, we note that several journalists have already managed to play Biomutant and their impressions are rather restrained. Don't expect the best RPG of 2019, rather a good game that will come in handy during the summer lull in gaming.

7. The Outer Worlds

Release date: 2019

The Outer Worlds resembles the same Fallout New Vegas 2 that fans of the series were waiting for and in return received only a mockery in the form of Fallout 76. And even if the game has a fantastic setting and only a first-person view is presented, because inside it is a real RPG from veterans genre from Obsidian. Everything you expect from the RPG genre in The Outer Worlds is fully presented: impressive room for role-playing, variable quests, intoxicating freedom of action and an advanced leveling system.

Depending on the environment and tactics of the game, the protagonist will be constantly "rewarded" with phobias. For example, do you often fall off ledges? Here is the fear of heights. At the same time, the disadvantages are generously offset by positive skills. Also, a nice detail of The Outer Worlds game was the information that with low intelligence, the main character will hum incoherently and cause comic reactions from the game characters. Perhaps right now fans of classic Fallout games will wave a tight tear, and there is a reason.

6. Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord

Release date: 2019

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord has taken into account numerous criticisms, acquired modern graphics and animation, while not forgetting about the most important component of the role-playing game - the gameplay, which is going to develop, they are going to improve on all fronts. The sequel to the cult RPG has improved both in breadth (the size of the world is 4 times the size of the first game) and in depth - every element of the game has been improved, supplemented and brought almost to perfection.

Manic attention to detail and unprecedented scale of ambition is the main reason why the perfectionists at TaleWorlds took over 7 years to complete the RPG of their dreams. Any comments have been taken into account: the game has acquired a storyline, interesting quests, epic battles with at least 500 fighters, the opportunity to become a feudal lord and play the role of a city planner like in the Stronghold game, and much, much more. Simply put: a real treat for RPG fans.

5. Nioh 2

Release date: 2019

The original Nioh was remembered primarily for its rare Japanese setting for a modern gamedev and an unusual look at the familiar combat system ala Dark Souls. According to the developers, the success of the role-playing game was a pleasant surprise even for them, and in Nioh 2 they are going to deploy their own forces at full capacity. First of all, the developers took care of the character generation system, while not forgetting about the cinematic story campaign, which favorably distinguished the game against the background of RPG from From Software.

Among the important changes in Nioh 2 - the main character of the game will be able to possess the power of youkai demons, which pretty much spoiled the nerves of the players in the first part of the series. At the same time, the developers warned that revolutionary changes in the game should not be expected, but rather an evolution that can bring the strengths of Nioh to a new level. Most of all, we are confused by the plans to release a samurai RPG this year, and this despite the fact that we have not even seen the gameplay of Nioh 2. But we believe the best, sharpen the katana and prepare for a new portion of furious hardcore.

4. Wasterland 3

Release date: 2019

Throughout the top major RPGs of 2019, we prioritized action-RPG games, so it's time to look at a representative of the classic RPG Wasterland 3. The second part of Wasterland was mainly criticized for its awkward appearance and the developers of the triquel took into account the claims. The snow-covered expanses of Colorado flaunt a significantly increased number of polygons, modern special effects complement the frosty atmosphere, and the new animation system, together with cinematic dialogues, no longer reminds of Wasterland as a role-playing game since the early 2000s.

The gameplay of Wasterland 3 remains faithful to the series of cult RPGs: a turn-based combat system, the presence of numerous companions who like to insert their "I" into any suitable or not very moment and a world full of secrets, humor and heartbreaking secrets. All in all, a reference kit for a potentially high-quality role-playing game. Global changes include the ability to travel through post-apocalyptic landscapes in vehicles and multiplayer.

3. Little Devil Inside

Release date: 2019

The main dark horse of our top RPG. According to the first cutscenes of the gameplay, Little Devil Inside looks excellent: skillful cartoon styling in the spirit of The Legend of Thelda game and exorbitant ambitions gameplay, where almost every player's action will influence the plot. In addition, an impressive open world and elements of survival that are fashionable today are announced. Special attention is paid to minimalism in the interface and even the usual scales with numbers are not planned in the game. You can find out about the state of health of the main character simply by looking at him and following the changed animation.

Nothing less than an open-world RPG worthy of Peter's wildest fantasies Praying. We are only confused by the fact that the RPG was funded on Kickstarter back in the first half of 2015, and the latest news about the game dates back to July 30, 2018, after which the developers went into hibernation. Even more alarming is the information on the game's page that over the past months the RPG developers from Neostream have hesitated to respond to messages from even those people who funded the game. Is it time to sound the alarm? We'll probably wait a little longer.

2. Greedfall

Release date: 2019

Greedfall is a brand new RPG from Spiders that has previously featured Mars: War Logs and The Technomancer. The main advantage of the game is its refined visual style, which is reminiscent of the traditions of Baroque, Gothic and Victorian architecture. A gloomy world is hidden behind the charming shell of the game, where we will have to visit the mysterious island of Tir-Fradi. The main goal is to find a cure for a deadly epidemic for the native people and become a hero in a complex political game between warring states and the natives of the island.

The gameplay of Greedfall fully corresponds to the traditions of the best RPGs: we explore new lands, improve the character and accumulate friends and enemies by our own actions. At the same time, diplomacy and sharp language can often bring much more dividends than playing the role of a butcher. And even with the spiders' not-so-impressive RPG portfolio of games, we're still waiting for Greedfall to be released, as we believe people tend to learn from their own mistakes.

1. The Surge 2

Release date: 2019

The original game, even before its release, was presented as another Action-RPG in the spirit of Dark Souls. Nevertheless, thanks to a number of interesting gameplay solutions and futuristic setting, the project has shot and the sequel is preparing to multiply the advantages of the first part of The Surge. First, let's note the updated visuals and setting, where instead of industrial workshops, we will find ourselves inside a vegetated wild world that no longer tries to restrict the player's movement to tiny corridors.

Additionally, the customization system has been pumped up in The Surge 2: now any dropped module from robots can be installed to the main character of the game and thereby acquire unique abilities, for example, invisibility. The artificial intelligence of enemies has been significantly corrected and diversified with deadly techniques, such as using surrounding objects as weapons and setting traps. The number of classes of weapons, bosses and techniques in the combat system, according to the developers of the game, has doubled. In words, we are waiting for a reference sequel, not otherwise.
