RPGs, or role-playing video games, are very popular games, and for good reason: they allow us to immerse ourselves in ever crazier and more incredible worlds, and to live exciting lives far removed from our all-too-mundane everyday lives. RPGs cover a wide range of game styles: from Pokémon and Baldur's Gate to Final Fantasy and Wakfu, there's something for every age and taste.
Role-playing games differ from other genres in a number of ways. In an RPG, the player character evolves, learns and improves. He interacts a great deal with his environment and NPCs (non-player characters), and has an inventory for the items he finds on his quests...
Medieval or futuristic, magical or not, combat or exploration: depending on your mood, you can change your life and save the world again and again. Or become the best trainer. Or foil an evil plot and take the throne. Or take a vacation from the Grim Reaper? Why not? Anything's possible in these worlds where you're the hero!
Ready for your next adventure? It's time to choose your new game, and your new life, with our selection of RPGs to discover on consoles or PC. Come back regularly to consult this guide, which is updated as we make new discoveries.
